re: They started with the cross, and they are now after George Washington.

So you're saying people on the left are the only people in history that want to take down someone else's religious symbol?
You sir are a few nuggets short of a happy meal. Separation of church and state is what our forefathers wanted for us. It is how so many people of different religions have lived and fought together as Americans for as long as they have. If it's on your own property, do what you want build a cross, Star of David, Buddha, whatever. This is not a left belief; it is an American belief.
