Free speech has always had restrictions of some sort. Why should free speech be allowed to violate seperation of church and state? Yeah, a stupid cross on public land isn't much of a big deal in and of itself, but there is the equivalent of "mission creep" involved. Where does it actually stop? The government should not be seen as endorsing or promoting any particular relgiion. And the same people who will complain about the cross beng taken down will complain about a giant Islamic symbol being erected on the same hill.
Am I such an activist that I was particularly concerned about the goofy cross? Not really......but I understand the underlying principal.

Why?
Is private property now exempt from your agenda of eradicating Jesus?
It always has been exempt.....you can do whatever you want to do on your own property (as long as it does not violate the law). How is that news to you???
