It’s only the beginning. Biblical prophecy is being fulfilled. And we Christians are probably going to long for the ‘good ole days’ when we were merely fed to lions.

So sell the plot of land that holds the cross to a Veteran’s group for $1.00 and let the athiests take the whole thing back to court.

*A federal appeals court has ruled that a San Diego war memorial cross in a public park is unconstitutional.*

They will regret this decision when they arrive in Hell

The whole point of the homosexual agenda is to criminalize Christianity.

Why do we even waste time in this country with anything that goes through the 9th circuit? The decisions from that court are always the same, and always as liberal as can be imagined. If given a choice in the matter the 9th circuit would probably give Hugo Chavez US voting rights, or the ability to run of the Senate. Unbelievable.

Meanwhile Michael Bloomturd’s office helping the Ground Zero Mosque is just fine.

Have a nice day. :)

The Congress should break up that joke of a “Court”. Should have been done years ago....

If private funds were used to erect the cross, then it isn’t an example of the government trying to establish a religion.

Secondly, why does the federal government own California land in the first place?

USFG, get the hell out and stay out.

The judges of the 9th Circus would chisel out every cross on the gravestones at Arlington National Cemetery if given half a chance.

They already did that. The court said that was unconstitutional too.

Our Nation founded upon Christian principles with much acknowledgement of said principles in our Declaration, our Constitution, and the basis for the vast majority of our early laws, and to this day remains at least 86% Christian, and with arms spread to welcome all to our society regardless of religious perspectives cannot have a cross expressing our Christian faith in remembrance of our fallen hero’s because of some personal letter of I believe it was Thomas Jefferson’s misinterpreted, probably deliberately by some Leftist Judge of yore.

It’s beyond time to settle the matter.
