You may remember back in 2001, when the ACLU sued to challenge a Ten Commandments monument erected at the Grand Junction City Hall, in Colorado. As with most insane religious stuff, it was clear to anyone with half a brain that the Ten Commandments monument was not going to be able to remain in the same fashion, unless a rag-tag group of religious zealots figured out a way to get around it. Enter the Grand Junction City Council and City Councilman/twice Mayor Reford Theobold:

City Councilman Reford Theobold said Grand Junction would immediately order granite to build five new monuments depicting important legal documents from British and U.S. history such as the Magna Carta.

City officials conceived the idea for the new $50,000 “Cornerstones of Law and Order” plaza after the ACLU threatened to sue the city over the Ten Commandments monument. There will also be a disclaimer that the city does not endorse any particular religion.

Listen, the man is religious and believes that the Ten Commandments are the word of God as He told Moses atop Mount Sinai. Maybe he thinks it was burned into the granite via fireball like in the Cecil B. DeMille/Charlton Heston film The Ten Commandments. Maybe Reford Theobold is a big bag of stinking hypocrisy?
