Alabama Leads the Way to Christian Justice System

[Ofc. Don W. Richards]

This article made my Officer of the Law's heart swell with patriotic joy.

Starting this week, under a new program called Operation ROC (Restore Our Community), local judges in Bay Minette, Alabama, will give those found guilty of misdemeanors the choice of serving out their time in jail, paying a fine or attending church each Sunday for a year.

Praise Jesus that this righteous government has seen fit to allow criminals to walk free, so long as they attend church on Sundays.

No, not church on Saturday like the Adventists, not a mosque or synagogue, but a Godly Baptist Sunday service.

Police Chief Mike Rowland said the measure is one that would help save money and help direct people down the right path. Rowland told WKRG it costs $75 a day to house each inmate.

In these difficult economic times, every dollar saved counts for something.

However, there is something more at stake here, and that is the soul of every single petty criminal in this nation. Fortunately, the government of Bay Minette, Alabama, has taken the first steps to government-endorsed worship to save dollars and souls.

I've always said, it is the church that should help people, not the government, and Alabama is leading the way.

Rowland acknowledged there were concerns about separation of church and state complaints but said he didn't see it as too big of a problem because offenders weren't being forced to attend church, they are just being given the option.

I don't see an issue here.

The First Amendment, which should be replaced with the Holy Bible, says "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion..."

It says absolutely nothing about Alabama setting criminals free on the agreement that they go the church.

You wonder what kind of a country this is when such a practical program is criticized.

What better way could there be to rehabilitate a fallen soul than to bring him to church.

God Bless those who are promoting this idea.

This is indeed great news, but I see ways to improve on this program. As all of you probably know, there are anklets that can be fastened to a paroled prisoner to monitor his whereabouts. This is a good way to make sure that he or she obeys a curfew, or reports to work, or whatever else the authorities require. Attempting to remove the anklet sets off an alarm.

So of course, you would want to attach such a monitoring device to freed prisoners to make sure they are attending church, as they agreed to do. So far, so good.

But why not extend this program to everybody else? Except, of course, politicians, generals and CEOs of Fortune 500 corporations, who of course can be trusted. We can monitor the whereabouts of the trailer trash, making sure that they attend church, report to work, don't go fishing or to the bowling alley when they're on sick leave, etc. We can also find out who is attending liberal political meetings, monitor who reporters talk to, learn who patronizes prostitutes or befriends Muslims, find out if they're viewing a Michael Moore movie at a theater, and other subversive activities which jeopardize national security.

Of course, with over 300 million people in the USA, that's a lot of monitoring. Fortunately, my company is ready, willing and able to do this job for a mere $2 trillion per year. That's less than 1/8 of what we've spent so far on bailing out Wall Street, so I'd say it's a good old-fashioned bargain. We've got the no-bid contract all written up, just waiting for 2013 when a president Perry or Bachmann signs the necessary authorization.
