An Obama style Memorial Day: National Park Service removes replacement Mojave Desert Cross
The Collins Report ^ | May 30, 2010 | Suzanne Eovaldi, staff writer

Posted on 05/30/2010 7:27:21 AM PDT by jmaroneps37

Just in time for Memorial Day Obama’s National Park Service has poked our veterans in the eye by rewarding the lowlifes who stole the original Mojave Desert Veteran’s Memorial Cross. After a long hard fought victory to keep the cross which was a monument to the memory of America’s World War I veterans, patriots thought the battle was over. Nevertheless when the Left loses in court it merely takes the fight to the streets.

Shortly after the Supreme Court victory a group of two legged skunks pulled the cross down anyway.

Saddened but undaunted victorious concerned veterans raised the necessary funds and replaced the cross which stands on land owned the Veterans of Foreign Wars.

Since the original had stood for 75 years and the highest court in the land ruled it could stay the veterans erected a new cross on the original base.

To the amazement of everyone the U.S. National Park Service ordered its employees to remove a replica of the original memorial cross honoring our brave war dead, who gave the ultimate sacrifice. Instead the Park Service honored the demands of those who hate our American way of life and rewarded their disregard for the laws our American heroes fought and died for.

Justice Anthony Kennedy best described the heart and soul of the ignominy being inflicted on our war dead he said, “Here one Latin cross in the desert evokes far more than religion. It evokes thousands of small crosses in foreign fields marking the graves of Americans who fell in battles, battles whose tragedies are compounded if the fallen are forgotten.” Justice Samuel Alito, voting with the majority ruling, said in passing that until this litigation, “it is likely that the cross was seen by more rattlesnakes than humans.”

Unfortunately this move fits perfectly into what we know about Obama and his attitude toward what makes America America.

Big Brother’s paid slaves, that dutifully removed the cross, must feel really proud of themselves. Wonder if any of them were veterans? If so, I hope they said a prayer for their brothers and sisters who died in service to their country while they were displaying their own cowardice.

We have been taking our nation for granted, we need to get back to work to expose and defeat the underminers

Gosh, I’m surprised we’re not building a mosque there.

I could hardly describe myself as “Christian.” But Obama has made me study what it is that Marxists do and now I appreciate Christians more than ever. If I’m upset about this then I can only imagine how others must feel. Our only chance to stop this is find and support a genuine conservative candidate for our distict. RINO’s beware.

Why would the National Park Service have the authority to do this? I thought the cross was on private property.

I bet the order to remove the cross came from “on high” (Obummer). That guy had a Catholic college cover all the crosses around the podium once when he gave a talk there. He definitely has “a thing” about confronting the cross.

The McPain syndrom, of constant COMPROMISE on PRINCIPLE, has taken it’s toll. While other thought COMPROMISE would allow ALL to get along, they didn’t realize they were being hoodwoinked. The LEFT is not tolerant. The LEFT will not be happy till they control everything.

What has happened to Ameirca?

It's the culmination of 100 years of progressives rotting through the fiber of our country. The short answer is we've been fooled into elevating a kenyan, with dreams of making us into another European style socialist state, to the highest office in the free world.

The left loses in court and then resorts to thuggery.

No news there.

Democrats, liberals, leftists, radicals, terrorists, homosexuals, degenerates, assassins, and communists are all cut from the same cloth, share the same side of the coin and they are all bullies and commie scum.

Time to extinguish the eternal flame at President Kennedy’s grave, I guess, on environmental grounds.

Eye for an eye.
