I'd like to go back, except I'd likely be saddened to see how it's been fortified, as I last visited in 1991.Bloviating Zeppelinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01359816456769157176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7370534.post-1134303423160520462005-12-11T04:17:00.000-08:002005-12-11T04:17:00.000-08:00Not MY ACLU!I have often said that in America, you...Not MY ACLU!<BR/><BR/>I have often said that in America, you do not have a constitutional right not to be offended. <BR/><BR/>Ron Jeremy has said, "The First Amendment doesn't protect speech you like, it protects speech you hate." <BR/><BR/>It's surprising to me how much weight a vocal minority is given in this country. A cross is wholly appropriate symbol - the ONLY approriate symbol - to honer these fallen heroes. If there was a Jew or a Muslim, I would expect to see a Star of David or a Cresent. It is not unconstitutional for people of certain faiths to look upon the symbols of people from other faiths. What a bunch of malarkey.<BR/><BR/>An aside, Arlington cemetary consists mainly of nondescript marble slabs with the appropriate religious symbol of the servicemember engraved upon it. There are plenty of free-standing crosses, though, as well as religious figures like angels and such. A beautiful amd inspiring place, I highly recommend visiting someday if you haven't been.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7370534.post-1134097046736460842005-12-08T18:57:00.000-08:002005-12-08T18:57:00.000-08:00LMC: Thank you VERY much!

I'll go there for sending a loving and embracing Christmas card -- since that will obviously light their drawers on fire.<BR/><BR/>Anonymous: hey dude, welcome to the site! GREAT comment! People quantify it as a "freedom of church and state" -- it is NOT a "freedom of church FROM state." No matter what anyone says, this is fundamentally a Christian nation based on the good, basic tenets of religion itself. Michael Newdow? What a pathetic, cloying, self-absorbed, megalomaniacal, self-worshiping narcissist.<BR/><BR/>LMC: whoa! I'm going there NOW!

The way I look at it is our nation was founded with a seperation of church and state which means to me that If I WANT to be part of a religion, then the government should stay out of it. This also means that if you want to get rid of crosses in your little work cubicle... then have at it! My work station or home or car is mine to express myself and my beliefs. And for the ACLU if you are offended by the cross, don't try to change my thinking, change yours... think of it as a lower case "t" (unless something on Sesame Street offended you when you were a kid and you haven't recovered since). You are also disrespecting the officer's beliefs, and now that he is deceased, he is not part of an earthly government anymore!<BR/><BR/>I also wonder if Michael Newdow will be at his job working diligently on Christmas day, or will he be spending it at home with his family.<BR/><BR/>EBAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7370534.post-1133899611916292672005-12-06T12:06:00.000-08:002005-12-06T12:06:00.000-08:00Mr. Sandy that is priceless.I personally think we ...Mr. Sandy that is priceless.<BR/><BR/>I personally think we should make Sandy's vision a reality.

Excellent resource. They also have open trackbacks so you can increase your blog traffic that way. I think you would like the site.
