The 76-year-old Mojave Cross war memorial in San Bernardino County's High Desert has been torn down by vandals, just days after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the religious symbol could remain -- at least temporarily -- on public land.
Sometime Sunday night, the cross was taken down from its perch atop Sunrise Rock in the Mojave National Preserve, according to Liberty Institute, a group that represented veterans groups and caretakers of the cross in the recent Supreme Court Case.
"This is an outrage, akin to desecrating people's graves," said institute president Kelly Shackelford. "It's a disgraceful attack on the selfless sacrifice of our veterans. We will not rest until this memorial is re-installed."

2nd that.
If this was a gay bar that burned down you can bet the full weight of the U.S. Department of Justice would be brought to bear on the investigation. So can someone tell me what time the grandstanding press conference by the A.G. is schedule for? Anyone, anyone (crickets...)
$100 says it was done by a non-white male, hence it cannot, by daffy-nition, be a hate crime.
She was in on that one, huh? Thanks!
There you go.
‘They need to make one out of heavy steel.’
And make it as big as Christ the Redeemer in Rio.
The crucifix in urine was not a matter of "protected free speech". The same government that we are told cannot raise up Jesus cannot use our NEA tax dollars to fund the insulting of Christianity. Piss Christ is a blasphemous name, it was not meant to be "holy".
If that manchild had paid his OWN damn money to fund the project that would have been another matter. WE paid for it. And the Left laughed.
That is what I have been reading. Trying to remember at the time though, I could have sworn it said Assistant Solicitor General, but whatever.
I missed this.. DOH!

This country (and world) is headed to a Great Fall. It’s going to be bad, real bad. Greece has just begun to fall, its barely started.
When it comes its going to make the Depression look like a picnic. Imagine a Depression+internal guerrilla warfare.
When we said “tolerance”, we didn’t mean for you!
Now pay your taxes and have a nice day. :)
Maybe BobTheNailer can help?

Absolutely. Made of I beams with a massive cement base. Build it bigger, better and stronger.
There you go, political terrorism physically started already by tearing down symbols. Next, they will burn down buildings and houses. Next, full-fledged murders and cover-up by the MSM (robberies, drunkenness, serial killers stories that won’t be resolved by LE.)
Communists are the most intolerant, violent bunch who are always “working to protect the citizenry” from made-up dangers.
Daily Reichstag Fires are perpetrated by Communists to kill their opponents and are used as pretexts for more violence until the majority of the population is subjugated. The rest could be arrested on various trumped up charges of counter-______ fill in the spaces, depending how severe the sentence should be or “enemy of the state” if execution is required. The word “Anti-government” was the buzzword lately!
With 0bagger as BOGUS, none of the above is even a slight exaggeration.
Watch out, fellow Americans, once you have “frequent and long problems with the Internet,” the big communist move is starting. Almost simultaneously, talk radio and conservative publications will have “problems of broadcasting and printing.” In effect, the communists will sever the normally quick communications and news between Americans BEFORE they disarm the populace. Once this is done, 0bagger will have a gay time and will be President for life!
Before you call me crazy, think about how many times in history did this happen.
BUT, it’ll never happen in the US. Well, think again, nor the election of an illegal alien, AKA 0bama, would have ever happened in the USA, with our “free press” and all.
