What a pile of sh**.

The ACLU can go to hell, whether they believe in it or not.

Might as well rename the county too. Any county name referring to angels has to be offending to someone.

Collectively,perhaps, the ACLU might go to hell. The Bible says every knee will bow. They will confess (too late) they were wrong to try to obliterate God from public eye.

"Might as well rename the county too. Any county name referring to angels has to be offending to someone."

What next, demanding that San Diego and San Francisco be renamed?

If so, I have a suggestion. How about Soddom and Gomorrah?

Hell, you'd have to rename probably 70% of EVERYTHING in California, and the entire Southwest U.S. to boot.

I believe in the separation of church and state, but the ACLU has only one agenda: eliminate all traces of Christianity from public view. Who cares about a cross when there are PUBLIC SCHOOLS teaching kids verses from the Koran and letting them celebrate Islamic holidays?? What a bunch of hypocrites.

Suggestion for the ACLU - four aspirins and 2 exlax should fix their problem.

From the LA County web site description of the seal at http://lacounty.info/seal.htm:

The Goddess Pomona – the goddess of gardens and fruit trees – is holding in her arms a sheaf of grain, an orange, a lemon, an avocado and a few grapes to represent Los Angeles County’s agriculture.

She stands on the shore of the Pacific Ocean with the San Gabriel Mountains in the background.

The engineering instruments – the triangle and the caliper – relate to the industrial construction complex of the County and Los Angeles’ vital contribution to the conquest of space.

The Spanish galleon is the San Salvador, which Cabrillo sailed into San Pedro Harbor on October 8, 1542.

The tuna represents the fishing industry of Los Angeles County, and the championship cow, Pearlette, represents the dairy industry.

The Hollywood Bowl indicates the cultural activities, while the two stars represent the County’s motion picture and television industries.

The cross represents the influence of the church and the missions of California.

Oil derricks are symbolic of the oil fields that were discovered on Signal Hill.

The words “County of Los Angeles California” surround the seal.

(The County seal was designed by former Supervisor Kenneth Hahn, drawn by Millard Sheets and adopted by the Board of Supervisors March 1, 1957.)

I agree with Michael Savage. Liberalism is a mental disorder.

Dont the idiots have ANYTHING better to do with their efforts then silly crap like this? Unbelievable.

This is why the ACLU has made themselves irrelevant and largely ignored by the general population. They are on the way of becoming as significant as N.O.W. Good riddance.

CALIFORNIA CONSTITUTION
PREAMBLE

We, the People of the State of California, grateful to Almighty God for our freedom, in order to secure and erpetuate its blessings, do establish this Constitution.

The ACLU can go fly a kite.

Yep. They don't have a problem with the Goddess Pomona, who dominates the seal, but they do have a problem with the tiny cross...

Wow, I barely noticed that cross, I had to look for it.

I know this country is big and laws in various areas diverse but how can the disgusting ACLU reconcile the banishment of all things Christian in public and promote religious diversity (ala Islam) all in the same breath?? EVERYone can see it, why doesn't anyone stand up to them and do something about it? Can someone sue the ACLU? LOL?

I am going to build a time machine. My intention is to send the ACLU back to 14th century Spain where it can plead for the separation of Church and State then I'll sell the highlights of the trail and punishment on video and DVD.

Also, that goddess representing bounty or whatever should be removed to... since I am Catholic, that pagan mythological goddess is offensive to me.

Oh, and that cow... the cow could be mistakenly viewed as the Golden Calf idol, so it too should be removed so as to not offend Jewish residents.

And those stars.... could be seen as a Jewish symbol. Best to take it down so as to not offend the Muslims.

How soon until they proclaim the constitution itself is unconstitutional?
