ALCU & AUSCS Press to Remove Christian Flag from War Memorial

[Guest]

There's also a sculpture they don't like.

And not one word about the separation of mosque and state, or the 2nd Amendment.

Their decency knows no bounds; but then we already knew that about them.

Can I put up my Atheist flag? or my Muslim flag?Or may be my Satanic flag?. Some how I think all of you thumpers might have a problem with that. If tax payer money is being used, no can do, It's in the constitution. Build you're own Christian memorial.

Thanks for the reminder to send a check off to the good people at the ACLU for fighting for our rights.

There's no reference in the article about Muslims or mosques; and - when intellectually honest - we all know that the word "church" in "separation of church and state" is a generic short-hand for "religion", which would include, for example, synagogues or Buddhist temples, too. But that's OK, Mark; we wouldn't want to deprive you of your daily chance to get in a cheap bash at Muslims, even when it's really a stre-e-e-tch.

Nothing in the article about guns or the 2nd Amendment, either.

Really, Mark, you're an intelligent guy. There's plenty of well-founded, intelligent discourse in support of a conservative viewpoint that you could offer, if only you tried. Why do you grovel in this level of cheap shit?

Why would there be? Is there an Islamic flag flying there?

Do you want to have an ideagasm?

No doctor-killer Victory Flags in a place that honors the dead!

Who gives a shit about the Afghan war vet, right?

The identity of the resident who complained about the flag, a veteran of the Afghanistan war,

If there was decency then religious groups wouldn't be attempting to use the death of our soldiers for proselytizing.

Wow...Athiests and Christians have flags...that is weird wild stuff...I did not know that.

From the article, it looks like they may just buy it.

Ya I just hate it when religious flags block my view of the clear blue skies...so irratating...so oppressive.

I think that if people tear down religious relics and chizzle out religious inscriptions on public buildings, they are in fact displaying the Athiest faith of nothingness...therfore all public buildings, especially those of politicians should be decorated with cartoon characters such as Betty Boob, Speedy Gonzalez, Porky Pig, Yosemite Sam, Fat Albert, The Grinch, Joe Camel, Mr. Kool-Aid!

What a joke....sometimes this seperation of church and state just seems to go to far.

Your secrets are the true reflection of who you really are...

This quote from the article, ""We've let our religious freedoms and constitutional rights be stripped away one by one, and I think it's time we took a stand," King resident James Joyce said." reminds me a lot of this.

FYI: All funds to build the memorial were privately donated. The city has not spent 1 penny on the memorial, outside of normal maintenance of the entire park that the memorial sits on.

Randomly f'n thingies up since before I was born...

Eish! I understood it was all about a Christian flag.

But then, with the ALCU [sic], who knows, eh?

No, most people who tear down religious relics are usually displaying faith in a different religion (or bizarrely, in the case of the Wahabists, their own).

Do you want to have an ideagasm?

From the OP's source:

Quote

Mayor Jack Warren said the city won't make a decision until it can go over its options with legal counsel. One possibility is designating a flag pole at the memorial for the display of any religious emblem, he said. Another is selling or donating the memorial to a veterans organization, essentially privatizing it.

I'm fine with that. Sell it for a dollar if that's what it takes.

Still from the OP's source:

And rights have been stripped away?
