Bet the vets will find their way into the courts on this. These guys have no problem with crosses being on the graves of their fallen comrades, these guys put their lives on the line for you, don't you think they have the right to have markers over their graves that suit them. Of coarse not, it violates your interpretation of the constitution. You all couldn't care less about those who died for your freedom, the only appreciation you have for then is the freedom to violate their rights, sorry, just really sorry attitudes for people who gave their lives for you.

All what crosses? Arlington has headstones, on which the symbols of each individual soldier's creed are engraved.

Zoning restrictions can set physical limitations but cannot regulate content. People used to say, "It's a free country." You don't hear that very often any more.
What I find telling is that it was the ACLU that supported the Nazis but now files suit against Christians.
It's a free country.
Nazis are not allowed to erect monuments on government property.
The ACLU files suits FOR Christians too. They are always on the side of the people who are on the side of the First Amendment. Why do Christians violate the First Amendment so much?

No one is stopping prayer in school. You have taken a comment about prayer being the equivalent of talking to yourself and gone off on a rant about prayer. We get that you don't think you're talking to yourself.

Censoring the government? You bet I do. The government doesn't have the same rights as its citizens because it is charged with protecting the rights of citizens impartially.

This should be amusing . . .
I will tell you this oh ignorant one.... If it weren't about an "agenda" we would be in total agreement on those kids!
So what's the agenda? I say it's to keep government and religion as little entangled with each other as possible. What do you think it is?
With the exception of Jacob, who consistently shows uncommon sense, do we not have ANY theists on the forum who appreciate the value of secularism for all parties concerned?
