Bladensburg. Where our boys defending DC from the advancing British in the war of 1812 turned and ran. The battle became known as the Bladensburg Races.

The Peace Cross has been under assault many times. Hopefully it continues to stay where it is.
A private cross on private land paid for by private money is not subject to a legal challenge except maybe for zoning violations which this cross is grandfathered in.

This has been going on for at least 20 years. We moved to Hyattsville, just up the road, then. It’s in a traffic circle, and so it offends every godless driver on the two main roads, Highway 1 and Annapolis Rd. It’s just a couple of blocks south of the Indian Queen Tavern (Geo Washington Inn), now some kind of park house or something.
So intolerant and fascistic.
I drive past that memorial virtually every day on the way to work.
On the way to work, I listen to the local talk station (WMAL). I can’t think of the number of times that they’ve talked about leftists having mounted efforts to have the Peace Cross torn down. They have yet to succeed.
Frankly, if it was going to be torn down, the Holder / Lynch Justice Department would’ve sponsored the effort through the courts. They didn’t manage to get to it and it’s a bit late to get started now.
Not this $^*& agan.
This is a great example of why Public Education (Indoctrination) needs to be dismantled, unfunded and returned to the Parents
It may be too late for that in 57 Counties with a large Population.

If that's the case, then the official and unofficial response from everyone should be "f--k you, you ignorant b-tches"...
Maryland “Freak State” PING!
In Tampa, the Confederate Memorial Park is privately owned and it flies the Confederate Flag. Nice place...
We may need a Bundy-like gathering of forces to tell these pukes to get lost....
