Quote
A judge has ruled the 43-foot high cross atop Mount Soledad is unconstitutional.

In a long awaited opinion, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled on Tuesday, that cross is unconstitutional, but that it doesn't need to be taken down.
 
Justice M. Margaret McKeown says the cross is a violation, but that doesn't mean it can't be modified or that a cross cannot be part of the memorial.

:argh: Anyone here live in San Diego area? Does Mount Helix still have the cross?

I bet if it were a menorah or a mosque or a drum circle, they wouldn't dare say boo about it.

But a cross? ZOMG, can't have that.

Does this mean we have to scrub all the crosses from military cemeteries?

After all, those are on government land and maintained by taxpayer dollars.

Oh, but I do.

I want to press them to every absurd end of their every absurd demand.

And then I wish to watch as the American people finally grow weary beyond endurance and send these jackasses packing (or ass-packers jacking, as the case may be).

Every cross in Arlington and every government owned cemetery needs to have every cross removed.

Disgusting. All of a sudden this is a problem with the cross? A judge nominated by Bill Klintung.
What's next? Telling people not to wear the crucifix around their necks. COME AND TAKE IT!! :bird: :argh:

It'd be a swastika only if it were a Hindu one; Nazi swastikas are what we wicked right-wing fanatics all have carved on our chests, dontcha know?

They'd probably want this, instead:

Isn't it funny that crosses were not unconstitutional for over 150 years after the constitution was written?   ::) ::)

I'm wondering how long it's going to be until they have to pull tax dollars from the Camino de Real missions and highways.

Or when New Mexico will be forced to rename the Sangre de Christo mountain range.

Or...you get the idea.

Say it is not so Johnny, I have heard of the black metal chains used to surround a family grave site often go missing but who would remove
remove a historical marker of that impotence to family.????

I would like to see a bunch of moonbats, or low-paid pawns, forced to go to Arlington with grinders and attempt to grind off every religious symbol off the headstones. Then I want it aired, on every f'n channel in the country.

This shit will come to a head in no time.

What grinding off would there be?  Wouldn't they just replace every cross that marks a grave?

I'm sure either the most severe anti-religion leftists, and/or the Westboro cult, would be happy to do that (though for different reasons).

That's fine. Let's get this shit over with. Something's gotta give and many of us are tired of backing up.
