[QUOTE="notto, post: 18753859, member: 2918"] A little bit longer article with some of the detail that WND left out. [url]http://www.smokymountainnews.com/issues/09_05/09_21_05/fr_cherokee_commandments.html[/url] [i] I cant think of a reason why anyone would want to do anything that violates the Constitution in principle, whether we have to abide by it or not, said Hugh Lambert, a Cherokee tribal member. It is an attempt to enforce religious beliefs on those who dont necessarily believe in it. It is a parochial statement for a particular type of religious belief. [/i] [i]Many tribal members saw the move to display the Ten Commandments as politically motivated. Lambert asked how many of the council members were truly motivated by what he called heartfelt conviction? [/i] [i] I think it was election-time posturing, Lambert said. I think a show of piety is no substitute for substantive governing. [/i] [i]Lambert said many tribal members feel the same way but are afraid to speak up. Lambert wrote a letter to the editor in the Cherokee newspaper, The Cherokee One Feather, and has been criticized in the community for his stance, even though he is baptized as a Christian himself.[/i] [/QUOTE]
