Good tactics in Provo.

It's sad how some states are chicken chits, while other states have a big set! I'd love to live in a state with a big set, wouldn't you?

Is this going to be Alabama all over again minus judge Moore's oratory?

"Barnard, legal counsel for the Society of Separationists, has threatened legal action against Pleasant Grove unless the monument is removed from a city park at 100 North and 100 East, where it has stood ever since the Fraternal Order of Eagles gave it to the city in 1971"

This is the stuff I hate so much. The monument stood there for over thirty years and no one cared. NOW, due to the ACLU-backed anti-God campaign, EVERY ONE is a target. GRRRRRR.

They may be able to keep it on historical grounds, and if it's stood there uncontested for thirty years, WHY NOW? is a valid legal argument.

"Moreover, city administrators believe their monument may fare better than the one a federal court ordered removed from a state judicial building in Alabama. Petersen said the Eagles donated Pleasant Grove's monument for secular instead of sacred reasons. Its purpose is to honor the Vietnam veterans, she said"

Oh yes, considerably better legal argument then Moore's: donated by a third party (unlike Moore's) AND a veterans' memorial.

I want you all to here this from me.....an agnostic.

This is a crude attempt to remove our country's heritage.

Just because I may not profess to an organized religion...does not mean that our Founding Fathers' object of freedom, should be shunted aside for a complete expletion of religious faith.

I grew up with the Commandments as a good rule of thumb.

I want to say "God Help Us"!!!!..but then again...I'm an agnostic.

The ACLU is freaking nuts to take on Utah -- the Mormons are richer than God! (Oops -- didn't meant that in a blasphemous way!) I predict the ACLU to land on its hiney on this one!
