The Mojave Desert (search) is not the kind of hard-scrapple place you'd expect to find the latest battle in the culture wars.
But that's exactly where the ACLU is battling with locals to tear down a cross that was erected as a tribute to World War I veterans.
(Excerpt) Read more at foxnews.com ...
I do recall seeing that there is a bill proposed in the house with 19 cosponsors. Saw it sometime in the last 4 days here on FR.
And all this time I thought they worked pro bono. Am I just naive or are most people aware that the ACLU is paid with tax money?
Very few outside of FR.
All Criminals Love Us.
Asinine Clueless Liberal Underpants (oh well)
He and his legacy is like a turd that won't flush.
Telling turdy jokes now, are we?
The opposition to the cross, God and Religion can't have it their way all the time. The cross should stay. Period!!!!
The cross doesn't even serve a religious purpose here. How can it offend someone and why should they tear it down?
Not long I fear, not long.
You put an Islamic symbol in the ACLU logo. But how many ACLU lawyers are Moslems? Can you name any? Most of the ones I've heard of are Jewish. But it's not politically correct to point that out. I consider liberal Jews (along with leftist Gentiles) to be as big a threat to this country as militant Moslems -- and MORE of a threat than the average, non-radical Americans of Islamic descent who never raise a stink about the things that the ACLU hates: The Ten Commandments, Christmas and cross memorials.
Yep that's it.
Note I complained about LIBERAL Jews (and leftist Gentiles). Lest any idiot brand me as bigoted, my heroes include conservative Jews like Lapin, Medved, Michael Savage. Just wish there were more of them. The liberals of the ACLU clearly hate Christianity -- perhaps with more vehemence than the average Muslim, because you don't see American Muslims protesting Christmas Carols, cross memorials and the like.
It's insane, and something needs to be done, and while I don't know what, it's obvious that legal action isn't going to help.
Yeah, I thought I was pretty well informed, but gov't financing of the ACLU came as real suprise. I never even heard O'Reilly mention it, and he is really on the ACLU's case these days.

"The establishment of an American Soviet government will involve the confiscation of large landed estates in town and country, and also, the whole body to forests, mineral deposits, lakes, rivers and so on." - William Z. Foster, ACLU co-founder and former chairman, Communist Party USA.

If it offends them I say tough. They should NOT tear it down. I am sick and tired of the opposition always wanting to tear down things that represent goodness. How about the condom ads or all the filth in the movies that are advertised in public? How about the dresses that are baring it all i n public? That offends me but I don't ask them to stop wearing them. How about the filthy mouths on TV, movies and the like? I don't try to bar them. I don't watch or listen but I don't try to bar them from speaking and acting so filthy and degrading. The cross has been there in honor of these veterans and it should stay there. Everyone should stand up and support it's being there. This has all gone too far and I for one am sick and tired of the other side wanting it their way or the highway. It's time we stood up too for what WE think is right and just. We have rights too!
I do try to fight for good in my little corner of the world. I try to do what I can to make at least this little part better. I get saddened by some of the stuff that I see and the tactics that people use for certain things, but that's not going to stop me from trying to be a force for good (despite my many shortcomings) in my community. Even if Sodom and Gomorrah had had but a few good people, they would not have been utterly destroyed. Hopefully, I can help plant some seeds of goodness that will help change lives for the better.
Congratulations for being the sort of person who's not afraid to stand up for what is right.
As far as the military, those who fight for my freedom have my highest respect. I'm too wimpy to ever be in the service, so you will not hear ONE word of criticism to come from my lips.
