Supporters of religious freedom win one in top court
Christian Coalition of America has fought for years to keep a large cross in a war memorial in the Mojave National Preserve in California. The God-hating groups such as the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), the People for the "American Way", and the truly atheistic Freedom from Religion group -- along with many other malcontents in the Democrat Party and in the "mainstream media" -- have been trying for years to expunge religion from the public square.
However, the God-haters were delt a huge blow in the United States Supreme Court on Wednesday. In a 5-4 decision, the majority ruled that the lower federal court was wrong in ruling that the cross must be removed. The usual swing vote on the court, Justice Anthony Kennedy, wrote the plurality opinion in the Salazar v. Buono case.
The Supreme Court basically ruled that the federal district court was wrong in barring the federal government from implementing the land transfer under the cross. Incredibly, the cross at the war memorial has been covered with plywood for the past several years because the God-haters in these left-wing groups were offended by the sight of it (in a desert, mind you). The Veterans of Foreign Wars had constructed the 7 to 8 foot cross in the Mojave National Preserve some 75 years ago.
In his ruling, Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote: "Here one Latin cross in the desert evokes far more than religion. It evokes thousands of small crosses in foreign fields marking the graves of Americans who fell in battles, battles whose tragedies are compounded if the fallen are forgotten," It is a shame that all Americans cannot agree with this simple historical fact.
For the sake of this country, God willing, a future Republican president will be able to replace this swing-vote Justice Kennedy on the court. It is almost obvious, that Barack Obama will be able to replace a total of three left-wing justices (including Ruth Bader Ginsburg) with equally or worse left-wing justices during his four years in office. Ironically, the previous one-term Democrat president, Jimmy Carter, got to replace no justices on the Supreme Court. Tragically for the United States of America, these three Obama justices will be on the court for decades. Elections matter!
