The 76-year-old Mojave Cross war memorial in San Bernardino County's High Desert has been torn down by vandals, just days after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the religious symbol could remain -- at least temporarily -- on public land.

Sometime Sunday night, the cross was taken down from its perch atop Sunrise Rock in the Mojave National Preserve, according to Liberty Institute, a group that represented veterans groups and caretakers of the cross in the recent Supreme Court Case.

"This is an outrage, akin to desecrating people's graves," said institute president Kelly Shackelford. "It's a disgraceful attack on the selfless sacrifice of our veterans. We will not rest until this memorial is re-installed."

Gay democrat party terrorists, oops I meant “activists.”

[MrB]

Ah, the tolerance of the left.

Their God-given conscience won’t leave them alone when there are reminders like this in our culture - that’s why they MUST get rid of every reference to the truth.

[Del Rapier]

These people are making Nihilism look good.

[RC2]

They need to make one out of heavy steel.

[theDentist]

Watch the fight that mounts when they try to replace it.

[Erik Latranyi]

More violence conducted by the left.

[massgopguy]

Find out where Newdow was.

[GeronL]

The courts probably won’t let them replace it.

[ZULU]

Probably Muslims re-enacting the destruction of the historic Buddhas in Afghanistan.

They are shameless vandals and iconoclasts.

Where was Elen Kagan last night?

[Ol' Sparky]

Do you think we’ll see hate crime charges applied to those responsible?

[GeronL]

Yes!

[Constitution Day]

Horrible news! I bet they find out who did it, though.

Anyone arrogant and brazen enough to tear down a cross, not to mention such a high-profile one, is going to HAVE to blab to someone about it.

They need to make one out of (electrified) heavy steel.

[GeronL]

I doubt it. Wonder if the cops start investigating it, 6 days later. Like in the New Orleans beat down.

[historyrepeatz]

Wouldn’t surprise me if the Government gave Special Ops orders to go out and remove it.. with the help of a Blackhawk helicopter.

[IYAS9YAS]

They need to make one out of heavy steel.

And electrify it.

[RC2]

Land mines would work also.

[Red Badger]

I’m betting that they spray painted a message on it................
