Court bans Christian cross on private land in public park
http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20070906/us_nm/usa_religion_cross_dc
What happens when the people are limited by their governemt? What happened to individual and states rights? What happens when the people by action excercise their collective rights and the Governments denies them that right?
***Why does the government OWN these lands? I understand the history behind the National Park Service so I don't need a lesson.
Guess whos behind this, you guessed it the ACLU!

Brought to you by the radicals of the 9th circuit. Remember "Under God" was unconsitutitonal, and I can't remember all the craziness spewing from them at them moment.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20070906/us_nm/usa_religion_cross_dc When you read the article, you see that a Buddist was not allowed to do the same thing there and that it was public land and theis land was manipulated to include a Christian symbol...remember that it is in a very prominent place and was refused to other faiths....politicians tried to manipulate the spirit of the law and the court stopped it...this is just as if a city sold a small piece of property in a city park, refused all other entries and made a special offer to Christians...it's not right

Two things -
(1) Not private land, they want to make a trade to turn park land into private land so a cross can be there in the middle of the park.
(2) Someone wanted to put up a Buddhist shrine there and was turned down thereby favoring one religion over another.
Both of these points are in the article that you referenced.
What in the world is your problem?
I am a Christian who is not insecure in her faith.
And the ACLU that you hate so much is the same ACLU that defended Rush Limbaugh's right to the privacy of his medical records. Like I said, what in the world is your problem?

Are you telling me you wouldn't complain if there was a Bhudda, Star of David and a Crescent Moon and Star next to that cross?
You wouldn't take that to court? No?

it's public land... first off... that was a horrible headline...
but why didn't they let the Buddhist shrine there?
that was a blatant choice of one religion over another and, according to the law, you can't do that...
it's a big no no...
