Reportedly upset over the recent decision of the Los Angeles Board of Supervisors to kow-tow to the ACLU and delete the tiny cross on the City's official seal, Mel Gibson is reported to be interested in helping to fight to retain the symbol, which represents the historical roots of the county.
The city was first founded as a Christian mission.
Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich, the courageous supervisor who has battled to keep the cross on the seal, told the Los Angeles Daily News that Gibson had met with Rabbi Daniel Lapin, president of the National Jewish Christian Alliance Toward Tradition.
"The rabbi said he was with Mel Gibson and they were outraged at the action of the Board of Supervisors because the cross represents the historical founding of our county," Antonovich told the News.
While noting that he could not speak for the producer of the smash hit "The Passion of the Christ" Lapin told the News he is supporting a signature-gathering effort seeking to put the matter on the ballot and allow the citizens to decide if the cross should remain on the seal.
"This is what the Muslims did when they took over Spain, removed every sign of the cross," Lapin said. "I always say, Israel's safety belt is America's Bible Belt. As long as Americans respect the cross, Jews and other minorities are safe. In post-Christian Europe, anti-Semitism is rife."
During the heated controversy over the Passion, Rabbi Lapin was an outspoken defender of Gibson.
Gibson's spokesman said that the star, now in Australia, was not available for comment.
It's like deja view all over again...

Excellent. He's got that right.
Are not angels a Christian Concept?
So shouldn't Los Angeles be changing it's name??
Also, notice the cow, at the lower right, commonly worshipped by the DNC. ;-)
That will come later.
The fish is a christian symbol I don't know why they have a cow, possibly because we were an agricultural state.
The other symbols might have something to do with the Spanish Missions
For cryin out loud, Wil, don't give the Taliban any more ideas. ;>)
California has always been an example of things to come.
Better dig in for the long haul. California now, which state next? It appears California is swiftly turning into a third world dumping zone for all things secularist. Pity, all that beautiful real estate in the hands of evil no gooders.
Angels show up in Zoroastrianism, Judaism, Christianity and even Islam.
Cannot be repeated too often.
Bwahahahahahahaha
I guess you talked personally to Mel and got the inside scoop on how and what he thinks. right
Mel is always talking to me and my dog.
I finally had to get a tinfoil restraint system to block him out.
The damn cross should remain on the damn seal. That said, it seems to me that everyone's rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic, while the culture as a whole goes downhill, taking society down with it.
