Demanding? This "humanist" group has as much standing as ...
I get upset every time I hear 0’s name. Who do I sue?
I’m sick to death of this. The courts need to apply commonsense in these cases and just say “don’t look if it offends you”
Maryland ping....
The inmates are tightening their grip on the assylum.
The linked news story shows an unflattering perspective. Time has not been kind to Bladensburg, but if the photographer had stood on the other side of the monument, he would have shown the riverbank and bridge. If you pull up a satellite image, you will see that the bridge is immediately below the confluence of the Eastern Branch and the Northwest Branch, which unite at Bladensburg to form the Anacostia River. This was a port in colonial and early federal times, but the river silted up long ago.
How delicate are they!
Patient: Doctor, my arm hurts if I do this.
Doctor: Don’t do that.
Humanist?????
Is that just a politically correct word for degenerate godless atheist?
Humanists claim that people can be “good without God.” To prove it, they spend their lives persuing the destruction of all that is good.
Whoever these people are, they must not drive around Maryland much. I see little roadside crosses all over Maryland, many of which appear to be on public property.
Hey all you morons of the American Humanist Association: If you really want to get offended, ride over to the Arlington National Cemetery and take a look at the thousands of white crosses. Those are the folks who fought and died so that your sorry asses could consume oxygen upon this Earth that God created.
You’d think these people are vampires, as terrified as they are of crosses.
Let’s mount a big campaign to remove all the publicly funded humanist memorials that make no reference to a superior power. They offend me, and make me feel excluded. How can they do that to us?
Bladensburg, Md.
Where the Battle of Bladensburg took place in 1814. Also known as the Bladensburg Races, because of the way our defenders broke ranks and ran from the Redcoats on their way to burn Washington, DC.
Also was the home of the Crossroads Tavern where one of the greatest of the unknown guitar players,Roy Buchanan, played for many years.
The Peace Cross is a landmark enjoyed by many for close to 100 years.
This clown who was shocked when he saw it ought to get a life.
Anti-Cross ping — now in Maryland
“We are certainly recommending coming up with a monument inclusive of all religious groups,” said Monica Miller, a lawyer with the association’s Appignani Humanist Legal Center.
Well Ms. Miller I suggest you pay a visit to Arlington national Cemetery or FT Indiantown Gap National Cemetery where my father is buried or any other National cemetery. 98% of the tombstones /plaques bear the Christian Cross. Most of the remainder bear the Jewish star and a handful bear nothing or something only meaningful to the person buried under it. So shut up and leave us alone.
In 2012, the group sent a letter to the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission demanding that the cross be removed from the war memorial. The group said it would have no objection if the cross was on private land, MyFoxDC.com reported.
Makes no difference what land it is on. Those soldiers earned that right PERIOD....................
Done in Convention by the Unanimous Consent of the States present the Seventeenth Day of September in the Year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and Eighty seven and of the Independence of the United States of America the Twelfth. In Witness whereof We have hereunto subscribed our Names.Even if that is not taken as indicative that all of the Framers were christians, it clearly was not assumed by the Framers that the Constitution would have been easier to get ratified by the states if that language were left out. As clearly it could have been - and, if the infamous three-vote attempt by the rank and file at the Democratic convention to shout down an expression of respect for God in 2012 is taken as illustrative, certainly would have been, by a group of modern-day Democrats.I find it difficult to visualize Vladimir Lenin putting "in the Year of our Lord" in a fundamental document when he could benchmark a date to the “glorious revolution" instead. Consider, the Soviets promoted the idea of changing the length of the week from seven days, with the obvious intent of desynchronizing the secular calendar from the religious one, and ultimately deinstitutionalizing the latter.
Surely, there must be private property adjacent to the govt property that would be willing to showcase the memorial in an in your face move?
