Liberal : someone who thinks they know what is best for everyone and never learns when to leave well enough alone.

Uproot every cross and Star Of David from every public cemetary all over the country. Its an impermissable governmental establishment of religion. I usually respect Alex Kozinski but I think he's an idiot whose not aware of the long role of religion in the public life of this country. A complete sanitization of the public square would amount to a politically correct rewriting of history. But that's to be expected from the Nine Circus Clowns.
I say let the interested parties put up the Buddhas, stars of David, and whatnot on the site. Once it gets made private land, all that stuff can be taken away and the cross left.
THERE THEY GO AGAIN!
""Sixty years after the cross was constructed, Congress in 1994 declared the 1.6 million-acre area, which is covered with Joshua trees, a national preserve under the National Park Service's jurisdiction.""
They took it as it lies. How many other historic churches are on public grounds?
Ever been to vally forge? There is a HISTORIC church on the grounds. Excellent little carved colonial soldiers around. Nixon's daughter was married there.
This one is publicly visible thats all.
Any lawyer who was/is a member of the ACLU should never ever be allowed to be Judge.
the anti-christian jihad continues
Sorry SOBs!!!!!!!!!!!!
Where it says:
"The cross, the subject of constant attack by vandals, was constructed in 1934 by a group of World War I veterans. According to a plaque they placed nearby, the cross was intended as a memorial, but has since attracted Christian worshipers."
I'm Christian and I like to go to McDonalds.....I guess they better take down those golden Arches.
Its a Memorial by a group of WWI vets.
The ALL COMMUNIST LAWYERS UNION isn't just attacking Christians now. They are gonna go after anything that show the beliefs of valued liberty that is a part of this country's history.
Even if it was intended for religion....the 9th court of idiots has forgotten a very important phrase...
"or prohibiting the free exercise thereof"
Thats the part of the 1st Amendment that liberals don't like to quote. And the 9th has written decisions and left it out of the reasoning several times.
If these punks keep pushing their luck...they are gonna get a response that they can't handle.
The efn ACLU needs to be prosecuted for hate crimes against Christians. They need to be sued from here to kingdom come for harassment . Wake up America, these M&****UC**s need to be stopped. How dare they pull this Sh*$! It was put there by WW1 veterans!
This is not a totalitarian nation, at least not yet, We do not have to take this bullsh#* If we let the scum get away with this or taking the cross off the LA seal there won't be a Mission or historical monument left. C'mon California, time to rebel again.
Hellooo Christian's, don't just sit there in the pew and pray for God to stop them, Go out and stop them, demonstrate. We have the ability to help ourselves in this nation, we need to pray, but we need demonstrations, letter writing, give support to the organizations that are going after the ACLU and stop voting for democrats, recall every single legislator that voted to remove the cross. Reach out to the Hispanic community about this too. STOP VOTING FOR DEMOCRATS- they have the same agenda as the ACLU- they want Christianity banned.
You know Ronald Reagan defeated communism in Russia, but he couldn't have known that we were going to import it here and call it ACLU and democrat party.
And when are the ACLU bastards going to put a stop to the nearby annual "Burning Man" event? Not only is is it clearly a pagan religious ritual, but it's an environmental disaster too. Oh, that's right: the ACLU is only opposed to Christianity.
The members of the ACLU need to join their imprisoned comrades at Gitmo.
WWI Veterans are now criminals.. what is wrong with this country?
The first ammendment does not decry no religion shall exist in public life!
This is a sacralage.
The Cross was there waaaaaay before the "The Mojave Preserve" was!! The Preserve is a Bill Clinton invention. First the famous "Mojave Phone Booth", now this!

We need to start a serious judge impeachment movement in this country and remove these godless, unelected tyrants from their dictatorships.
Someday soon Christians in America won't be able to wear cross jewelry because it might "offend" someone, or be visible in the "public square" (thus inferring government endorsement). Maybe the government should make Christians wear little stars or something, to warn others who might talk to them and be made to feel uncomfortable (oh, uh, in the "public square"). Wonder where the ACLU gets its money.
These people are the American Taliban.
If they had constructed a cross on public ground, they might have an argument.
BUT this cross was erected privately, and later the government took over the land as public ground. So essentially the government took over private land with a church memorial--i.e. church land, which it had no right to do.
Enemies of America United.
Has anyone ever noticed the vollyball game that has been set up between the courts. The 9th Circuit and the Supreme Court, especially. What happen to what the people actually want. Are we just spectators?
