The left is going bonkers over opposition to the ground zero mosque in the name of religious freedom, but the left's assault on Christian liberties proceeds unabated. One very recent example is the ruling by a three-judge panel of the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that memorial crosses erected and displayed along Utah public roads to honor fallen state highway troopers must be removed as unconstitutional.

Yeah, when’s the last time we heard “freedom of religion” from liberals before the GROUND ZERO MOSQUE? (Are you paying attention, AP?)
