Cross-Eyed
The Ninth Circus Court of Appalling in Calipornia is at it again:
I'm a "non-Christian veteran" and I'm not offended in the least. I know several more (one of them posts here), and none of them are offended. But that's because we have functional brains and can understand the difference between the phrases "freedom of" and "freedom from".
We also understand the very obvious truth that desecrating a century-old memorial to men who have given their lives in defense of the nation requires a special kind of arrogance and stupidity. Perhaps I should have more sympathy; liberals are suffering from a mental illness, after all. Problem is, the rest of us are suffering with them -- or because of them.
The State of California would be well-served by a sustained barrage of neutron bombs.

A cross perched atop San Diego's Mount Soledad for nearly a century is unconstitutional and must be removed, according to a federal court ruling Tuesday.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected arguments that the 43-foot cross should be preserved as a war memorial, ruling that it violated the California Constitution's "no preference" clause by elevating one religion over all others.
"The use of such a distinctively Christian symbol to honor all veterans sends a strong message of endorsement and exclusion," said the court in its decision. "It suggests that the government is so connected to a particular religion that it treats the religion's symbolism as its own, as universal. To many non-Christian veterans, this claim of universality is alienating."

Funny thing is, another group thought that it was silly to have around old religious symbols and blew up a 2000 year old statue of Buddha.
To destroy a people you have to destroy their culture, and to do that you must destroy their history. With no history, you can rewrite the culture and make it whatever you want with whatever moral compass you wish to set.
Reminds me of when the cross on Camp Smith was replaced with a huge 50 foot flag. (15.24 meters for you metric types.) I think the flag caused more of a flap than the original "offensive" cross did.
Where I am, the Coroner paints a white cross on the street where a traffic fatality occurred. I wonder how long it will take the Liberals to find out about this and get "offended". Not soon, since we're not on any national map for the Liberals.
Oh, by the way, I'm not Christian, so I guess I need to be offended by this.
