SOS Kemp Supports Georgia’s Involvement in Ten Commandments Case
Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp, also a candidate for Governor, issued the following statement in support of Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr’s decision to have Georgia enter into an amicus brief in support of protecting the Ten Commandments displayed on the lawn of the City Hall in Bloomfield, New Mexico.
Sec. Kemp:
“Georgians know the Ten Commandments are not only God’s law, but also the country’s moral code. I fully support Attorney General Carr’s bold leadership on this issue and will work with him as governor to protect our Constitutional Rights and defend our conservative, Georgia values.”

“Georgians know the Ten Commandments are … the country’s moral code” – No, they’re not. Of the 10 commandments, 2 are outright illegal to break in Georgia: Murder and theft. Bearing false witness is hazy – not all lies are illegal, but if you’re defining just as perjury, sure, 3 Commandments that are put-you-in-jail illegal-if-you-break-them-illegal in Georgia. Adultery in Georgia is a misdemeanor with a $1,000 fine.
It’s not illegal to work on Sunday. It’s not illegal to have other gods. It’s not illegal to take the Lord’s name in vain. It’s not illegal to covet. It’s not illegal to not honor your father and mother. It’s not illegal to make graven images of things in Heaven or Hell.
And, just for kicks, here’s a starter list of things are outlawed that are allowable by the 10 Commandments: Genocide, Littering, Slavery, Drunk driving, Child marriage, Speeding, Animal torture, Not wearing a seatbelt, Human torture, Not having auto insurance, Using illicit drugs.
You know, I cannot wait to see all of the Christian Bashers go literally apoplectic when Roy Moore becomes Alabama’s newest senator!!! MA (really) GA!
It is odd that an issue abt a Ten Commandments statue is re-surfacing at the same time as Moore’s most ambitious race.
I’m sorry. Sorry that you are the type of person that orgasms at the thought of someone acting constitutional (Establishment Clause).
*golf clap*
Christians like you are the reason I think most Christians are immature demons. Keep up the good work by example, your god would be proud (and angry and jealous and a myriad of other non godly emotions).
Your god should be named Emo.
Meds, Ricky, meds!! And then… Back to that spider bong!
Why would anybody in Georgia be apoplectic if that buffoon is elected Senator?
Thank God for Alabama!
Thank you, Peggy!

Do click through and count the pols, including my congressman and our governor.

To me these guys are like the 2nd Amendment types you see parading up the aisles of your local market–I mean they’re right and they’re pita fetishists at the same time. Both groups should grow up.
Three of the five pols in the first photo were Tommy Benton, Jody Hice and Ralph Hudgens. I saw no need to look any further.
If only the State of GA would put up a 10 commandments monument. But they would have to establish a ‘fiction section’ of the grounds.
Baphomet watches with keen interest, and Kemp is marked as a Jesus Voter™ Panderer.
