Cross bombed in Coos Bay (More left-wing domestic terrorism goes unreported!)

If this had been a bombing of an abortion clinic bombing instead of the bombing of a cross, it would be national international news.

This weekend, someone detonated an improvised explosive device (IED) next to the Coos Bay Vietnam Veterans Memorial. 

The memorial, which sits in a public park in Coos Bay, Oregon, and includes a cross, recently became a target of the ACLU and the Wisconsin-based Freedom From Religion Foundation, which demanded the cross be removed because it violates the so-called “separation of church and state.”

Back on May 21, 2013, this same site was vandalized by people who made their agenda clear:

someone vandalized the memorial, drawing a perforation line at the base of the memorial’s cross with the word “cut” written above it and an arrow pointing to the line. The word “remove” was written in the middle of the cross.

The odds in favor of this being done by the same people, or people with the same agenda, are astronomical. This bombing was almost certainly committed by left-wing, anti-religious radicals, people fueled on hate and a terrible reading of the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment. Not definitely, but near enough. It is possible that Islamic radicals may have done it, but this has not been, to date, their kind of terrorism.

One group you can be sure it was NOT was people on the political right. Generally speaking, people on the American political right do not commit acts of terrorism. In fact, in A Short History Lesson for the Media on American Domestic Terrorism, we go over this in some detail. With just a handful of exceptions, politically motivated domestic terrorism in the United States has nearly always been done by either Democrats (post-bellum KKK), Left-wing radicals( the 1960s), or...

All memorials that have been complained about by the anti-religious zealots should be monitored by game cameras—you know, the kind you use for hunting.

Appropriate, given that they behave like animals.

This enterprising person would, necessarily, go out and torch a “Crescent and Star” memorial, right?

This can be blamed on Obama’s weak leadership for a united nation......he encourages this sort of feckless and destructive behavior against religion, with the exception of Islam.

[connell]

Oh, of course!

[connell]

Not only does he tacitly encourage it in the way that you suggest, I also suspect that he personally approves of it.

Bringing back the stocks and the whipping post could go a long way toward putting a stop to this.

[connell]

So might the media actually reporting on it.
