[history]
LOS ANGELES (AP) - The American Civil Liberties Union is demanding the removal of a tiny cross that is among historic symbols on Los Angeles County's official seal. The seal "prominently depicts a Latin cross, a sectarian religious symbol that represents the beliefs of one segment of the county's diverse population" and is an "impermissible endorsement of Christianity" by the county government, the ACLU Foundation of Southern California said in a letter to county officials this week. "Under clearly established law, the seal is unconstitutional," the letter said, warning that refusal to remove the cross in a "reasonable time-frame" would cause the ACLU to seek a court order.

Maybe the first thing to do is to politely walk up to a ACLU member or lawyer and tell them to stand down and disband for their own safety. If they refuse, politely excuse yourself for your prompt and immediate reactions. The ball continues to drop on America, are you ready?

This nonsense will end when anything Christian has been replaced with the islamic flag. You didn't hear the aclu getting involved in the muslim call to prayer over loudspeakers in that New Jersey town, did you?

Original, full name of Los Angeles:
el pueblo de la reina de nuestra senora de los angeles ... The city of Our Lady of the Angels.
When are they going to screw with that?

What took them so long?
Besides, how do they know it's not just an intersection of two lines at a right angle?

Recall that Redlands, California just removed the cross from the city seal. The ACLU smells victory in California.
