A mayor has come to the defense of a war memorial that features religious symbols and prayers after a national group called for the cross to be removed. "Place Jolicoeur" is a 91-year-old memorial in a Rhode Island city that honors hometown soldiers who paid the ultimate sacrifice defending their country during World War I and II.

Fascinating story about this monument at www.ourmonument.webs.com. Another attack against our nations heroes and our history. This is the same atheist group that challenged having "IN GOD WE TRUST" as our nation motto. I'm sure they dont mind reading it on all the dollars they rake in though. Glad to see a mayor with the guts to stand up for our veterans.

Crosses have the same effect on homosexuals that they do on vampires. The homos will find some “judge”...

The progressives just hate God with a passion. They shall reap the whirlwind.

Thank you for posting this article.

The ‘national group’ (a member group of the ruling elite’s brownshirt army) is named FREEDOM FROM RELIGION FOUNDATION.

The ‘foundation’ part of the name is part of the ‘non-profit’ game played in the U.S.

All part of a plan. The FOUR STEP PLAN.

DEMORALIZE
DESTABILIZE
CHAOS
NORMALCY (official declaration of Socialist Dictatorship)

We are in step 3. Step 4 starts on Dec. 21, 2012.

Would they care if the majority...perhaps even the overwhelming majority...of those *buried* there *wanted* the crosses,the Stars of David and other religious symbols? Of course not.

Actually - in an offhand way - gays act more like they fear God, like saying anything about their lifestyle, out loud, is somehow "telling on them" to God.

Seems to me if they don't believe in God, they wouldn't get excited at all when the subject of Religion is brought up.

Or maybe it's just that people with religious views will not accept them with open arms.

But if I was an atheist - and I'm not - the disgusting behavior of the gays would turn me just as much against it as if I were a preacher.

Even if it were not a sin, it's still disgusting, immoral, and filthy.

They certainly don't know HIM as God sees what they do anywhere - there is NO place where they can hide not even keep secrets in their heart.

He knows what they will do next week that they themselves have NO idea about. They can't understand AWESOMENESS while rolling around in filth.

Neither could Sodom and Gomorrah and they learned the hard way when it was too late and the same will happen, again, for many - when it's too late.

IMO, this election is a test to see who will bow to evil - not that God doesn't know already but to show OURSELVES REALLY what's inside when one's back is against the wall. Either unbendable or willing to compromise.

Don’t bother. You will never change these peoples minds and you only give them ammunition to use within their group. Not to mention I would not want these idiots having access to my facebook page............
