The whole thing could have been avoided if the local government deeded the small area of land to a non profit group willing to maintain the cross.

One day, they will all bow their knees to the King of Kings. So much for their offense.

[txrefugee]

The ungodly have already lost the battle against Jesus. They just don’t know it yet.

[Old Yeller]

I bet its ok to have a call to prayer blaring from a mosque loudspeaker 5 times a day.

The city could have some fun with this if they wished to, fence off the area, call it a sensitive area and strictly prohibit human traffic. Grant the Judge and ONLY the Judge permission to the closed property for the purpose of removing the cross. Disallow any and all construction equipment on the property by non city employees. Give the Judge a shovel and tell him to have at it.

[Sacajaweau]

Just plain wrong. Tolerance should be a two way street. Same with the removal of Confederate Monuments. The Courts and half our communities are nuts!!

Thank you Obama for pushing for these kinds of "Get rid of the Christians". How Muzzie of you.

“The historical record indicates that the Founding Fathers did not intend for the Establishment Clause to ban crosses and religious symbols from public property,” he wrote. “Indeed, ‘the enlightened patriots who framed our constitution’…would have most likely found this lawsuit absurd. And if I were deciding this case on a blank slate, I would agree and grant the plaintiffs no relief. But, alas, that is not what we have here.”

what is he saying exactly ?

[DiogenesLamp]

This is a false understanding of the law. The US Constitution does itself refer to “Our Lord” in it’s ending statement.

[Zarro]

“The cross was totally unavoidable to park patrons, and to have citizens foot the bill for such a religion symbol is both unfair and unconstitutional.”

So, apparently, people were running into it?

Wonder what the bill amounted to? It was there for decades...what could it cost to keep standing? Paint it every few years???

I PRAY, lawyers all over America grow some and decide to take up some of these insane laws, believing (as I do ) the President Trump would be in the background in the same way he has the cops' backs and the vets.

I firmly believe President Trump wants to correct the insanity, but he can't think of everything all the time.

He needs to read about a lawyer in Pensacola challenging this stupid law (f'rinstance)

"When a city park serving all citizens – nonreligious, Jewish, Hindu, Buddhist, Muslim and Christian – contains a towering Latin cross, this sends a message of exclusion to non-Christians, and a corresponding message to Christians that they are favored citizens,” said Annie Gaylor, the organization’s perpetually offended co-founder.

Using that logic, a playground in a city park sends a message that people with children are favored citizens.

[Truth29]

There sometimes need to be red lines. How about no and take to the streets to stop the enemies of Western civilization?

[\/\/ayne]

Appeal to a judge that understands the Constitution.

[Bryanw92]

>>Should Christian citizens be relegated to some sort of second-class citizenship? Should they be directed to keep their beliefs hidden inside the church house?

Read the book of Acts.

Now compare that to a hipster megachurch that freely operates in public, but tones down the “God talk” so as to not offend the “seekers” who choose a church based on amenities.

[Ouderkirk]

f the Christian religion may not act to worship in the public square, then the Christian ethos - caring for a fellow man - has no place in policy making - or guilt tripping Christian citizens to part with their wealth.

[bigbob]

Another win for Annie Laurie Nutjob.

[Ouderkirk]

If the Christian religion may not act to worship in the public square, then the Christian ethos - caring for a fellow man - has no place in policy making - or guilt tripping Christian citizens to part with their wealth.

“”violated the law and must come down. “”

I am not a constitutional scholar but the 1st Amendment forbids Congress from passing a law establishing or prohibiting a religion. Exactly WHAT LAW is being violated?

Are we EVER going to return to common sense? Someone wrote a book years ago about that but this will do:

Except I believe as the article says, it’s dead and gone...
