There should be a right to acknowledge God. I hope at some point the nut cases against Christian citizens get a national backlash.

There is NO violation of the first Amendment/ Establishment clause. The terms used do not support removal of the structure. The debates in Congress-June-Sept.25 1789 do NOT support current myth constructed by the Courts. The very day Congress adopted the Bill of Rights they acted to request a National Day of Prayer and Thanksgiving and Roger Sherman of Conn. who on Aug.17,1789 recognized the Constitution granted NO power over religion to the Federal Govt. The same Roger Sherman who seconded James Madison on Thursday June 28,1787 at the Convention of 87 requesting Franklins’ call for prayer be enacted.Roger Sherman on Sept.25 ,1789 in Congress cited several “precedents in Holy Writ:” to justify the practice of Thanksgiving. If this Cross were to violate the First amendment then it must have violated it since it was erected. Problem is there is NO support for such seen in the Commentaries on the Constitution by Justice Joseph Story 1833—1859 No support for this modern myth in the Reports of Committees US Senate Judiciary Committee Report Mr. Badger,19 Jan. 1853— or corresponding US House Report by Mr.Meacham 27 March,1854.For any to say that was a long time ago this is now is NOT sustainable for the claim is that the Cross— and similar structures somehow violate the First amendment which was adopted by Congress Sept.25,1789 and by the United States by Dec.1791. and Commentaries —even judicial decisions published closer to the adoption of the Bill of Rights DO NOT support modern myth—the REAL HARM DONE the US Constitution and OUR Bill of Rights has been done by the “progressives’ by the revisionists— by the enemy of our Constitution and way of life.
