What is going on? As historical symbols of Christianity are being stricken from the pulbic domain, we have 7th Graders being forced to recite Muslim prayer...or even local governments practically endorsing the very public, Muslim call to prayer, as is being done in Hamtramack, Michigan.
but in Atlantic City they've announced two new Islamic holidays will close all government offices for two days...there's no connection between church and state there!
The city of Corpus Christi (Texas) really has to stick in their craw.
Bill O'Reilly BUMP - go get 'em Bill!
Here's the information from Prager's website:
The Latest:
Don't Let Them Change the LA County Seal! Stop the ACLU! Call, fax, email or write to the Supervisors Molina, Burke and Yaroslavsky and tell them you want to keep the seal just as it is. Here's a list of numbers and addresses.

Here's a picture of the Los Angeles County Seal that the ACLU wants to change. They want the county to remove the Cross because they think it makes people who are not Christian uncomfortable.
O'Reilly is more interesting to listen to than Rush these days. Rush is one giant commercial for Dubya. You listen to one minute and you know the talking point for the day. Yawn. At least O'Reilly will slam both sides, once in awhile.
What dates are those....? Ramadan? Would be interested in more specifics.
It's interesting that the ACLU is attacking the Cross in that Seal, yet has said nothing about the Pagan Godess...whatever the heck her name is. This isn't about the separation of church and state. It's all about attacking Christianity.
One caller to Prager's show mentioned his city of St. Paul. Won't be long before it's earmarked to go--could be offensive to people who don't believe in Saints.
The cow needs to go--could be construed as having something to do with the Hindu religion.
Exactly. They know the goddess doesn't mean anything to anyone. The cross on the other hand needs to be destroyed no matter how small it is.
There's just a lot of really bad things in that seal. A conquistadors' ship, a fish (covert Christian symbol), a cow (either Hindu, or offensive to Hindus depending what you do with it, oil wells (raping the Earth and polluting the Sky plus what the car has done to the freeway system.) Get rid of it all.

Now that I think about it, shouldn't we get rid of the large sailing vessel in that Seal...which I assume could be construed as a Spanish warship, filled with Spanish (and Christian) conquistadors. Isn't this something that would also offend liberals, since it was these evil Europeans who conquered America. Where does this PC crap end?
You were just reading my mind:)
Someone should remind the ACLU that all of the letters and legal documents that they generate also contain a Christian reference.......the date.

Geez, unless Los Angeles hires the dumbest lawyer in the world, how could they possibly lose a case like this? Oh, never mind - it has to go before a judge.
Wouldn't it cost more to replace all the symbols than to fight this out in court, anyway?
Does anyone know how I can ping the list of CA FReepers about this? When I click on the CA flag all I get is the message board. Not sure how to get the list of CA designated FReepers.
It's already the custom in academia to give dates as Common Era or Before the Common Era; e.g., 2004 CE or 586 BCE.
