Federal Judge: Mt. Soledad Cross Must Come Down
Fox News ^

Posted on 12/12/2013 7:04:32 PM PST by annalex

A cross atop Mount Soledad in California is an unconstitutional religious display on government land and must come down, a federal judge in San Diego ruled late Thursday.

U.S. District Judge Larry Burns ordered the cross, which honors veterans, must be removed within 90 days -- a decision that could result in the case being sent back to the U.S. Supreme Court. Burns immediately stayed his order pending an expected appeal.

What would the jerks have done if he cross was classified as art?

Surround it with a jar of urine, of course!

I’m going to say, we are getting close to the Coming of the Lord!

You have a good idea.

But I think that all that the conservatives will do is talk. I hope I’m wrong.

Is he going to demand that the Supreme Court be taken down also?

Silly judge. The Federal government has no jurisdiction over religious matters in the states. “CONGRESS shall make no law...” + 10th Amendment = Not your business.

This “judge” must be a fag. The powah has gone to his empty head. I’d like the fag to show us where in the Constitution he finds his freedom from religion nonsense.

Not only is Judge Burns a George W. Bush appointee, he’s a graduate of Point Loma College, a Christian private liberal arts college and the University of San Diego Law School, a Roman Catholic Law School.

It will be up to us as freedom fighters to delay, obstruct, refuse and destroy the left in any way we can. Yes, neighbors should get together and agree to display a Nativity scene on their property...someone should start the ball rolling on this..contact your neighbors, relatives, friends, every one on your list, and pass this idea on to them. These leftist pigs need to be pushed back hard. Yes, let us “put Christ back into Christmas.” Those of us in business can also display a Nativity scene in our places of business, stores, etc, and if someone’s offended, then tell them not to look and take a hike. You're expressing YOUR FREEDOM as you see fit. To hell with what the left wants...if we freedom fighters see a road block to freedom, then we strategize (my word) and bypass that road block. It can be done..it was done during WWII by brave peope in occupied socialist/communist countries. What do you say, America? Let's get off our butts and get out there and practice OUR FREEDOMS!

I like your idea. Who will be the first to step up and practice what we preach? It is way past time to practice OUR FREEDOMS! Enough talk, some action is now required.

Leave that cross alone for now.

The way things look today, when sharia law will be established in the future, the cross will be removed anyway.

I pray that I will be wrong.

And what precise date was used in the document sent out by the Judge relaying the judicial decision? Did he use "2013 Anno Domini" (Year of Our Lord 2013)? Isn't that a violation of separation of Church and State? Let's see the letter, judge. If that is the case, what is your justification?
