we have to stand up, we have to speak how we feel about god, becasue they want us to feel bad about believing in god, they expect it, the only way is to stand up for what you believe in, don't be a judas.

it's not politicians. it's citizens who file lawsuits and groups like the aclu and the courts. ultimately it takes either a different interpretation of the constitution than used in these cases or amendments to the constitution to revise or more clearly define what the people feel is fair for all. I personally feel courts have gone overboard attempting to cater to secular interests however as much as we may feel offended by not being able to display our judeo/christian symbols on public ground i think you have to ask yourself if you would be comfortable with a monument to some pagan religion, or budhism etc to share that same ground. the same goes for school prayer. anyone can pray to themselves anytime they want but when my children were in school i would have vigorously objected should a budhist teacher tried to have my children chanting to start the day. I think though in the particular case of the san diego cross it is a landmark, it has been there a long time. I see no purpose in removing it other than for non believers to exercise their will over believers. I'm not a muslim, yet I'm not offended at the sight of a mosque along side the highway.

These things should never have been placed in the beginning! This country is supposed to be so big on religious freedom, but all I see is crosses and a very few Jewish symbols. I would like to not have to suffer the eyesores of a religion I don't believe in on our public monuments. Removing them, and disallowing them in the future would be a great reinforcement of the separation of church and state!

If the symbols aren't on public land, or being built with funds derived from my tax dollars, then that politician should be voted out of office. What one crazy group does on their land is their business, even if they want to errect a 50 ft high jesus with blood comming out of his head. Of course, if it becomes a nussence for everyone else in the neighborhood, then that's a different issue.
If you are talking about putting religious symbols on the capitol, or on a court house, then the politician would be correct. The US isn't a theocracy (yet).

Yes i heard about the cross, i have gone out to San Diego and i;ve spoken to people there at the sight. One was a liberal to the core, she said it was more for religious point of view than war purpose. how sad, people are brainwashed from every side. God save us all from liberalism.
I think the only way to actually get attention is to gather up a group , go there and protest , especially on a day of memory.

This comes from a misunderstanding of the constitution. It says
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,
Some people believe this means separation of church and state. Yet may of the founders were religious, they didn't want a state religion.

They shouldn't be spending time taking down old existing monuments with religious symbols but passing legislation preventing any more from being built in the future.

u know what gets me bout this subject... is that our country was developed around religion, its in our court system, on our money... just like the cross in cali, it is not forcing u to partake in the particular religion or its beliefs... as for me i was brought up as a child as a Jehovah's Witness, but it never bothered me in school or anywhere else about others beliefs. like in the school system with the pledge of allegiance, i never did it in school... i just stood there respectfully while the rest of the class did... then you have these ******* like the one in elk groove, ca that is try'ng to ban the pledge all together... it just doesn't make since..... everone should have the right to be able to show there religious symbols, doesnt matter what religion it is....

A deluge of mail, a recall on their election, and possibly a huge protest or parade. that seems to work for everyone else, like gays, illegal aliens, and war protesters. although in the case of the Soledad Cross that was a judge, but of course in California it's always those horrible judges.

The only to stop the evil empire of the Anti Christian Liberals Union (ACLU) is to make your voice heard. This country was founded on Judaeo-Christian ethics and values and that group is trying to destroy them in this great nation. We are guaranteed Freedom OF Religion...not Freedom FROM Religion.
