CIMA, California -- Driving along a pockmarked road amid rocks and Joshua trees in a lonely southern California desert, religious controversy might be the last thing you'd expect to encounter. And if you don't look too closely, you're likely to zip right past the focus of a hotly contested Supreme Court battle. A federal judge has ordered the Mojave Cross, a war memorial erected by a veterans group 75 years ago, to be covered. It's boxed in plywood.

Here’s a clue from the 1st Ammendment:
“Congress shall make no law establishing a religion.....”
A war memorial can NOT possibly violate this provision!!!!
The courts are out of control.
Lets stop calling it religious descrimination and call it what it really is. Religious HATRED.
Stop putting up Cross on public land it will cause problems. Instead Groups should BUY a peace of land, and put up the cross. Do not donate it to the state, city, or nation.
I hate to say this, but someone should go up there and paint a cross on the plywood.
This sounds like a job for a wise Latina........
It’s a war memorial not the establishment of a State Run Religion.
