protects religious freedom for all. This simple concept seems lost on this current administration and all those that continue to fight to ensure the cross remains on public, now federal property.

Public funding for any religious institution or memorial runs counter to one of the fundamental principles in the Constitution, and is IMHO an anti-American act.

From a Christian POV, I say this cross is a graven image, and those that proclaim theirselves as Christians should not be lying and dissembling about the cross as a "War Memorial" and not a religious symbol. The history of the "memorial" is that it was created after the fact to provide a covering excuse for the cross to remain on public property.

As a veteran, I think the cross could/should be demolished and a more appropriate non-religious symbol be put in its place.

Too many wingnuts think that removing the cross is an attack on Christianity. Frankly, I am quite tired of government policies being perverted by ignorant loudmouths with persecution complexes.
