There is a very real possibility that war memorial crosses at Arlington National Cemetery could be in jeopardy, a federal judge warned in a chilling dissent to a court case involving the fate of a 90-year-old monument honoring soldiers in Bladensburg, Maryland.
The 4th Circuit Court of Appeals on Thursday refused to revisit an October decision that declared the 90-year-old "Peace Cross" was unconstitutional because it rests on public property.
The monument is a memorial to the 49 men from Prince George's County, Maryland who died fighting for liberty in World War I.
The memorial, paid for by the American Legion and local citizens, consists of a large Celtic cross on a pedestal inscribed with the words "Valor," "Endurance," "Courage," and "Devotion."
The American Humanist Association, which represents a vicious gang of humanist and atheist thugs, was responsible for filing the original lawsuit.
"Government war memorials should respect all veterans, not just those from one religious group," AHA attorney Monica Miller said. "The cross unconstitutionally endorses Christianity and favors Christian soldiers to exclusion of all others."
That, of course, is an outright lie perpetrated by some very bad people.
The Establishment Clause actually allows monuments that include religious symbols and text to stand on public land, according to Van Orden v. Perry.
You need to understand the American Humanist Association’s ultimate goal - they want to eradicate any public mention of Christianity. They want to destroy the Judeo-Christian values and teachings that flavor every one of our founding documents.
They have declared war on Christians in America and they will not stop until God and Jesus and the Bible are scrubbed from the public marketplace.
Federal Judge Paul Niemeyer warned people of faith that the Bladensburg ruling could lead to the unthinkable – the removal of memorial crosses at Arlington National Cemetery.
"It ... puts at risk hundreds of monuments with similar symbols standing on public grounds across the country, such as those in nearby Arlington National Cemetery, where crosses of comparable size stand in commemoration of fallen soldiers," Judge Niemeyer wrote in his chilling dissent.
First Liberty Institute and Jones Day, the law firms, representing the American Legion, vowed to appeal to the Supreme Court. And they should.
Otherwise, the atheists will be free to commandeer bulldozers and turn our war memorial across the nation into piles of rubble.
Certainly should give pause to any Christian contemplating giving his life for this country; when the Ayatollah called us the “Great Satan”, I guess these were the people to whom he referred.
Bingo!!!
Thank the 17th Amendment.
We must begin to super-glue the hate-Christian thinking of these detestable humanists to the monumental failures of political correctness (as in Broward) to the heinous progressivism inflicted on us by the hate-America Obama administration.
These aggressive hate-filled people talk a good talk-—but its about time they were exposed for the hatred in their hearts for all things American, and the destruction that is a key part of their hor11rendous agenda.
Try it! it will provoke civil war, which this country sorely needs.
I can’t imagine what this country will be like in 20 years. Scary. Trump is trying to clean it up but gets stopped at every move. I think this country is done. I hate to be that pessimistic but the signs are everywhere to prove it.
There will be war and there will be bloody streets. There is no other solution.
American Humanist Association = Anti-God Association
The AHA’s are azzholes and active throughout Maryland. Be nice if the state of Maryland would sell about 6 square feet of land the cross sits on to a private citizen to end the BS.
I toned down my post considerably, believe me.
The culture war is about to turn deadly.
Christian symbols on public property are not a violation of the Constitution. They are not a government establishment of a religion.
I’ve often wondered why there hasn’t been court actions to take down all the cross and Star of David grave markers in all the WWI and WWII cemeteries that are overseas.
4th Circuit: packed with Obamites.
Maryland “Freak State” PING!
