""Radical Far Left Group Demands World War I Memorial to Fallen Soldiers Be Torn Down Because It Includes a Cross"" The Bladensburg Cross was built in 1925 in Bladensburg, Marlyand in 1925.

The cross was a designed by mothers of local soldiers who lost their lives in World War I. The American Legion raised the money to build the cross on private land.

Now a radical far left group is demanding the cross be taken down. It offends them.

The Becket Fund reported:

For 90 years, a war memorial in Bladensburg, Maryland has reminded passersby of the ultimate sacrifice made by local soldiers in World War I. Yet today the ironically-named American Humanist Association argued in federal court in Richmond, Virginia, that the memorial honoring fallen soldiers must be torn down because it includes a cross.

Known locally as the Peace Cross, the memorial was erected in 1925 on private land with funds raised by the American Legion. It was designed by mothers of local soldiers who died in the war. They modeled the cross after those memorialized in the celebrated poem In Flanders Fields that stood row on row to mark [the] place where their sons lay.

The left never stops. Praying the American Humanist Association is told by the court NO we will not take it down.

Poor little snowflakes. Here’s a clue: don’t look at it and you won’t be offended.

If it is on private land, how the heck can anybody say anything??? What grounds for a lawsuit can there possibly be if this cross is on private property, and there’s no public interest involved; no possible separation of church and state and all that????



To: blueyon

Disrespect runs rampant. Disconnect from history continues unabated. Total lack of understanding about how what you do today has consequences tomorrow (and in the future) baffle.

Maybe some concerned citizens disguised as Indians needs to visit the headquarters of the American Humanist Association some dark night and take their building down.

Just how is it a federal court's business (or any court for

that matter) that this monument exists? How can it

be proper to even accept this case?



To: blueyon

These leftists are mentally F’ING ill!! A couple election cycles is not gonna be enough to defeat these turds. Ultimately we’re either gonna walk them off or we’re gonna have to physically fight them.

Wall them off



To: blueyon

How about we tear down the Becket fund as enemies of the people? Can we file sufficient suits to drag them into poverty?

Today, the site is owned by the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission as a historic site. That DOES NOT give some self-appointed atheist group the right to alter or destroy a historic site which the Commission is charged with protecting because they find it offensive.

These guys offend me... I demand they be taken down.



To: SkyDancer

These Radicals offend me. REMOVE THEM NOW!



To: oldasrocks

Maybe we can ridicule them in return by demanding safe spots to keep them from us and having comforting stations were we can pet kitties and puppies and work in coloring books and go on a screaming rant whenever we hear any leftist propaganda.

The Cross pre-dates damn near everyone alive today. Detail of the Cross. The Cross and the US Flag - correctly illuminated at night as well. Some people just have no respect.

I don't like the color pink. I'm offended by it.

Homosexuals use it to represent their filthy lifestyle.

I going to go to federal court to get it banned from

being used anywhere and everywhere in public. No more

pink in public places or magazines or signs. Or even

on clothing. Yeah, I'm offended. I have a right to sue

anybody who uses the color pink in federal court.



To: blueyon

Just tell them it is modern art.
