It's not the Park Service, it's the Secret Service.
If Bush can't or wont do something about this, we have a real problem.

You can put a cross on a sign. A cross could be used as a weapon.

Now, while other religious symbols are not on the list there, I presume they would also ban menorah's or stars of david etc.

If that is the case, I have no problem with it. Anything that could be used as a weapon needs to be carefully controlled.

Pay attention. With idiots like Newdow out there we don't need to react with similiar misunderstanding (I'm being charitable and not saying stupidity).

There is NO prohibition on the display of religious symbols, crosses or otherwise, however...

You cannot carry a twelve-foot wooden cross.

You can display a cross on a placard.

It doesn't help our cause when we get our facts wrong.

Actually, I think the Secret Service trumps the President when it comes to his security. In any case, I think the restrictions are for reasons of security and not censorship. I'm a strong believer in the second amendment, but if I went to the inauguration parade, I would leave my gun at home. It's an understandable measure, as are restrictions of certain objects and placard sizes.
