LiMandri is a jerk.

True. But on this one, he is right, and he has done good work preserving our rights.

I guess the 9th Circus is next.

Good news on this one case at this point, but the Anti-Christian Lawyers Union has succeeded, because a cross cannot be displayed on public property unless a court determines it is a secular symbol.

A judge says the cross atop Mount Soledad “communicates” primarily nonreligious messages of military service and sacrifice.

Interesting take on the sacrifice of Jesus Christ for our sins and our redemption. I'll have to read the opinion and see how the judge reasoned his way to this conclusion.

Another reprieve!

” civil libertarians have battled with defenders of the 43-foot-tall cross atop Mount Soledad...”

These people are not libertarians. They are atheists and Jews who, for whatever reason, get their kicks by tormenting Christians. True libertarians couldn't care less about religious symbols on public lands.

PS. the ACLU is a socialist organization.

PPS. How pathetic are these people who have nothing better to do than file lawsuits trying to get a cross removed? They must be sad, miserable people.

Again, someone who is apolitical has no real interest in politics. Howver, most people who call themselves "atheists" are really more correctly "anti-theists." An anti-theist is like the person who morally objects to eating breakfast, but rather than leaving it there on his own turf, insists on spitting on your waffles just to make a point.
