If the libs manage to get the cross removed, imagine the statement. This could backfire on them. The monument would still be there and the emptiness of the cross would be powerful. Everyone would know it was defaced because of liberals. The lack of a cross could be a monument in and of itself. Maybe a bad analogy, but when you see the plots where the World Trade Towers used to stand, you immediately clarify who the enemy is. Same feeling, different monument.

That might actually be the best reason for the city to comply immediately, LOUDLY, with interested citizens holding a vigil or demonstration.... while the city continues to fight in any legal or political channels available. Make a HUGE ceremony out of removing the cross, the MSM will try to ignore it or spin it for the scumbags at the ACLU but word will get out quickly across blogs, email campaigns, etc. It is a lot easier to rally people against the outrage once it's been done than to get them excited about the hypothetical case while it's still mired in legal proceedings. This could even contribute to a national movement on these issues.
