"A cross atop Mount Soledad in California is an unconstitutional religious display on government land .."

Absolutely false premise.

U.S. District Judge Larry Burns ordered the cross, which honors veterans, must be removed within 90 days -- a decision that could result in the case being sent back to the U.S. Supreme Court. Burns immediately stayed his order pending an expected appeal.

So it looks to me like the judge wants to put the whole case to rest once and for all by allowing the people who put up the monument to Christian veterans to take it to the Supreme Court. Otherwise why would he have immediately stayed his decision without a request by the plaintiff to do so?

I’d like to see Judge Larry Burns nailed to that cross before it’s taken down.

It saddens me that our jewish friends are offended by the cross. Would be nice if maybe a Star of David could have been erected to represent their dead but a lot of Christian boys died fighting to free the jews.

Well, sounds like the first shot across the bow of patriots.......

So how many of those chest thumping rambos are now willing to step forward and rally around that cross?

I know, I know, soccer practice this weekend, working overtime at the job to pay the mortgage and note on the new truck and boat..........maybe in the spring.

When the cross comes down, it will not be gone, for it shall stand forever as a monumental testament to the infinite intolerance and ultimate smallness of those who are bothered by its’ presence and celebrate its’ removal.

This is just wrong on so many levels. I hope the judge chokes on a chicken bone, and has to retire immediately. This is what you get when the court decided in the Madeline Murray case that atheism is basically the same as a religion. This was predicted then. No one really believed it though.

The majority in that decision was simply incorrect. All this suppression of religion is just wrong and it’s not constitutional either. We go to ridiculous lengths to protect the rights of the majority.

Now, we find ourselves with the majority being forced to live according to the ideas of the minority. That’s just rotten. I am totally sick of it. These judges legislating from the bench need to be retired/fired where they can’t make such ignorant rulings.

That’s a beautiful area! Every time I visit San Diego, I visit Rosecrans National Cemetery. You pass through it to get to the Mt. Soledad monument.

The first time I visited the cemetery was in June, 2008. As I was driving through, I noticed a fresh grave. The funeral must have taken place with a day or two. I stopped and arranged the fresh flowers and the little statues of angels that had fallen over. I placed the small tilted American flags upright into the ground. And then I cried. I didn’t know this soldier, but my heart broke for him and for his family. He was only 23. When I’m in San Diego, I still visit his grave.

I googled and just found this:

His photo:

His grave. Cool that the fighter jets just happened to fly in the background....

The Buddhas of Bamiyan were dynamited and destroyed by the Taliban in March 2001.

So now California will be following in their footsteps?

There will be appeals. This is ludicrous. Next will it be unconstitutional to wear a religious symbol openly on your neck while walking on a public sidewalk?

Very sad but the power of Christ is stronger than any judge.

IN the US Christianity is now being hounded. In Russia The Russian Orthodox Patriarch has a front row seat for Putin’s State of the Union speech.

Once EVERYTHING becomes "government land" the communists will outlaw Christianity and dissident political positions.

The grand irony is that the cross is supposed to honor those who died for freedom...and now we are becoming one of the most oppressive nations on Earth. So sad.
