90 year old WWI memorial ruled illegal by court

Just more to push the American people to action.

Bladensburg’s “Peace Cross” was erected by the American Legion in 1925 to honor the 49 men from Prince George’s County who fell in the Great War. In 1961, a Maryland state agency took possession of the land on which the monument sits.
quote:
[T]he sectarian elements easily overwhelm the secular ones,” the majority opinion by Barack Obama-appointed Judge Stephanie Thacker reads.
“We also cannot ignore the American Legion’s affiliation with Christianity,” Thacker notes later, concluding, “The display aggrandizes the Latin cross in a manner that says to any reasonable observer that the Commission either places Christianity above other faiths, views being American and Christian as one in the same, or both.”

If that monument falls, it’ll be a disgrace!

If appealed it will be overturned based on prior SCOTUS cases.

Keep em coming. The left will never see power again at this rate.

It won't be illegal if I buy it, figs.

The religious symbols carved on the tombstones at Arlington will be protested soon.

I see crosses on public property all of the time.
What's the big deal?

This made me sick when I saw the story on local news yesterday. The monument stood for 90 years and now some libtard 'judge' prodded by the American 'Humanist' Society declares it illegal. Is there ANY question that there is a war on American history and Christianity? 
I hope the city of Bladensburg appeals but I won't hold my breath. They may not have the money and it's a highly left-wing area.

Schempp, tha it “does not require the government ‘to purge from the public sphere’ any reference to religion." ]
This is the proper interpretation of the establishment clause.

Didn't know about that clause. Will be interesting to see if there is a challenge.

We are a country where the majority no longer rules and we must submit to the will oc the fringe left

A memorial to men who fought Germans.

Such behavior is to be expected from someone with an IQ of only 88.

So, if the monuments had symbols of Islam on them, would this be a problem?
Posted on 10/20/17 at 9:09 pm to bhtigerfan
Why would it be a problem? The Supreme Court ruling seems pretty clear.
