Once again the Mt. Soledad cross is in the news:
The Mount Soledad Memorial Cross is unconstitutional because it conveys the message of “state-endorsed religion,” a federal appeals court ruled on Jan. 4.
The 29-foot cross, located in a San Diego public park near the suburb of La Jolla, was dedicated in 1954 to honor veterans of the Korean War…
The suit was brought by some twits who simply have way too much time on their hands. In a normal society, the people who brought the case would have been laughed out of court, and then tarred and feathered by normal people who have just been pushed way to far.
But, we don’t live in a normal society, we live in a liberalism-soaked society in which people seriously claim that “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion” means “religious symbols shall not be displayed on public land”. People who hold to this view don’t know what “Congress”, “law”, “establishment” and “religion” mean…but such people do hate the cross and are determined, as far as possible, to remove it from public sight.
It is not really all that surprising – the cross, and what it means, have been hated from the moment a few obscure Jews started claiming that a man who had been executed on one rose from the dead and was the Savior of the world. For a variety of reasons, a lot of people really got upset over that idea – and they’ve remained upset for nearly 2,000 years. It really is the crux of the whole matter – the only thing, in the end, we really argue over.
But enough really is enough – we need a Religious Liberty Restoration Amendment to the Constitution. It should say the following:
“The prohibition against Congress establishing a religion shall not be construed to deny the right of the people to erect religious symbols or exercise their religion on public property.”
Its sad that we’d have to do this, but there is simply no other way – our courts are just too shot through with liberal judges who have been trained to think in terms of “wall of separation”; we have to reverse this, and the only way to do it is to leave no means for liberals and their judges to interfere. It would be better if common sense could be applied, but liberals are opposed to common sense whenever it manifests itself…and, so, amending the Constitution is our only way to protect ourselves.
