Federal Judge: Mt. Soledad Cross Must Come Down
Fox News ^

Posted on 12/12/2013 7:04:32 PM PST by annalex

A cross atop Mount Soledad in California is an unconstitutional religious display on government land and must come down, a federal judge in San Diego ruled late Thursday.

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.

Well those people didn’t do what was needed to get those officious officials out of their posts. Instead, those people worshiped those officials. The good Lord gave them what they asked for, in hope that they would see the folly and renounce it later.

True. I am not sure. I am just going off on anything today quite frankly. Hopefully this is not settled law and some judge with reality will see what a farce this is.

You forgot the /s tag?

The cross indicates a tribute of thanks to a God who was willing to sacrifice Himself. The best act of giving that mankind could conceive. And other people just whine about it? Well the Bible says that they will. They’re trapped by the devil.

First Amendment
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition their Government for a redress of grievances.
No where is there anything about separation of church and state like the communists keep saying there is. And if the people want to display and exercise their religious expression in public the government has NO RIGHT under the law to prevent it.The first Amendment just prohibits a national state church like the Church of England it then goes on to say the government isn’t allowed to interfere with religious expression.How a federal judge can get no religion in public,on public land or in public schools can only come out of his desires and ideology not through a plain reading of the amendment.It’s time we the people start showing them what these plainly written amendments say!

Yes, the whole idea of “freedom from religion” is a modern conceit.

Here’s how to beat this. Take down the cross and erect an islamic crescent, then have a “plaintiff” file a lawsuit to have it removed. When the marxist judge says it’s okay, switch back the cross and cite said ruling as legal precedent. Make their heads explode.

Sooner or later we’re going to have to start putting these judges on notice.

People in their area could easily refuse to do business with them and their family.

Oops, sorry judge, your car needs repair, but nobody in your town wants to do business with you. It is however your constitutional right to have it towed to the next state if you wish.

Food, clothing, church-school, church... sorry judge. We know you’re a swell guy, but get lost. We don’t need your kind.

The Declaration of Independence mentions God...waiting for the legal challenges to it and the Constitution!

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation

multiple faith monuments

On the same spot that is inacceptable as well. I have nothing against menorahs or moon crescents in their own spaces. National parks are not COEXIST bumper stickers.

Yes, an eternal flame on a grave is a clear symbol of satanism, objectively speaking.

refuse to do business with them

That was back when we still lived in a free country. Now they took care of that as well. Check out what happened to a baker who would not sell to a gay couple.

when does it become “settled law of the land”?

Just a hunch; when we start getting rid of of those that keep bringing these problems; permanently.

I saw that. Isn’t that a hoot. You could still make it very uncomfortable for the guy. It’s not fun living in a community when you’re despised and folks are afraid to let you know it.

If eternal flames MUST be Satanic in your mind, it sounds like you are so caught up in red herrings you can’t see what is good. God claimed that symbol before the devil ever stepped up.

I wonder what they'll do with the crosses in Veteran's cemetaries all across the country. Arlington National Cemetary probably has a few of those things also.

“The cross that counts won’t ever be demolished. Its power extends to the ends of time.”

Exactly
