This is not satire.

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?

“Each is secular in nature and without religious reference, which offends no one and is respected by all.”

This guy is evil and probably stupid as well. I find the idea of a Holocaust Memorial without the Star of David shockingly offensive. Do these whiners from the FFRF even know what the Holocaust was about?

[oh8eleven]

Despite the FFRF’s intense opposition, the design was approved.
Good - now go F yourselves FFRF.

[BenLurkin]

Hate filled wretches.

[Slings and Arrows]

They’re fanatics. Utterly beyond logic or reason.

So what does an atheist woman scream out during sex?

[dfwgator]

“OH, NOTHING!”

[beelzepug]

They, along with millions of other low-info Americans, have no idea what the establishment clause means. I would wager that a majority of Americans believe the words “separation of church and state” actually appear in the Constitution.

This what happens when the government schools quit teaching civics and replace it with ethnic studies.

It would have been just as catastrophic if Hitler had exterminated 6 million atheists.

But there is no denying that they were Jews.

[Delta 21]

...and just as there is no constitutional separation of church and state, there is also no constitutional freedom from religion.

[EternalVigilance]

The symbol is good enough for the headstones of thousands of Jewish men who gave their lives for our country and our freedom. So it is definitely appropriate for a Holocaust Memorial.

[SandRat]

Just ban the FFRF!!!

[Slings and Arrows]

Don’t give them ideas. (Only half-joking.)

[PLD]

In U.S., 77% Identify as Christian - Gallup.Com

20% of Americans Are Now Atheist, Agnostic or Unaffiliated ...

... According to research, there are about 6.4 million Jews in the U.S.,

Now tell me why we let these peons get away with messing with our God stuff..Just something to prove they can..I just wish these roaches would go back into their holes and leave us alone..

[Slings and Arrows]

As I said, fanatics. With a greater or lesser portion of IRL trolling.

[Wisconsinlady]

I love your post because it was almost word for word what I was going to say.

[sauropod]

Oh Science!

They’re fanatics. Utterly beyond logic or reason.

We have turned the other cheek in response to such fanatics for far too long. While that is essentially perfect guidance that I do my best to follow when dealing with normal people, it's the wrong answer when dealing those who exploit our virtues.

Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one . . . And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said unto them, It is enough. [Luke 22:36,38]

I believe this passage means that there is a time for the sword - but only in moderation. I also believe this is the time when we should no longer turn the other cheek, not when western civilization and freedom are on the line. The Ohio State House should either fight to the death for a real memorial, or replace their planned memorial with a discrete plaque explaining that the litigious bullies from FFRF, siding with Holocaust deniers, have prevented them from building a true Holocaust Memorial, and that any memorial without the Star of David would be meaningless.
