Looks like I can erect a cross on any federal land I would like to own and Congress will transfer the land to me rather than take the cross down. I won’t feel good about getting rich like this, but I’m sure my servants will be able to help me get over it.
People should be glad there is something to look at in that desert, it’s like time stood still there.
Cause this is just like, the federal government establishing a state religion! That’s just what this is like.
Oh, the humanity.
I wonder if what would be the above responses would be if it were a Star of David, or a Crescent Moon…

Wouldn’t be any different from me, if it represented patriots who died defending my country.
I wonder what the response would be were it a minaret rather than a mosque…
You’ll find no one more for the seperation of church and state then I… but even I have to say that as a war memorial, it should be allowed to stay there. It’s been there since 1934 as a memorial to the vets… let it stay there.
I hope the court doesn’t use it to set a precendent meaning that they’ll allow the ten commandments in courtrooms again, of course, but this is very minor.
“Thieves take controversial Mojave Desert cross…”
Ordinary thieves looking for scrap metal, maybe. But the timing certainly would suggest something else.

Any memorial raised to honor the memory and sacrifice of our fallen soldiers needs to be guarded nd treated with the same dedication and honor they portrayed - this act is an abomination and I will glady castrate the punks for it . . .just let me know when and where

They are in Washington DC. Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid. If you want to throw Obama in there that is alright with me. I dont think Obama did it because he has not worked a day in his life, so why would he lift a finger to remove this cross?
OH - I thought the thread was about this: Caretakers of Stolen Mojave Desert Cross Vow to Replace It | Fox News
WTF!!
