How sad and stupid the justice system can be

After WWI many U.S. soldiers moved to the Californian desert to find physical and emotional healing. In 1934, they erected a memorial to honour their fallen comrades, a single white cross, - a symbol used around the world to memorialize those who paid the ultimate sacrifice for their country.

The site for the memorial was chosen because at a certain time of day, the sun casts a shadow on the rock which resembles a WWI doughboy. For more than 75 years, the memorial has stood as a reminder that there were those who fought and died for our freedoms. But sadly today, the ACLU and a federal judge in California, want to tear it down. In fact, the judge has ordered the memorial covered from view while the case is on appeal.

I'm not a religous person but I think everyone is allowed to have their own beliefs as long as they don't try to cram it down my throat. Those monuments aren't hurting anyone. If you don't like it, don't look at it. It's pretty ridiculous how this country has gotten with being afraid of offending people.

Yeah... Atlanta Braves, Cleveland Indians, Chicago Blackhawks, Washington Redskins come to mind.

It's been a while but never fear, someone will stir up some controversy again over sports teams nicknames offending them even though the Braves have been the Braves since like 1871.

And yet here in Winnipeg some guy put up a great big lighted cross in his backyard to the annoyance of neighbours and when it went to court he got to keep it!!!

Wonder how many members of the ACLU had family members that served in WW1? How would their family feel about this? Isn't Arlington National Cemetery federal owned property? And its covered with white crosses. Guess ACLU hasn't found them yet.
