“Is anyone damaged” is not the issue. Use of public resources to promote a private interest constitutionally declared to be of no public interest to the public is the issue.

Are any of you offended when you see a Christmas tree in a public square? When the White House hosts an Easter egg hunt each year, as well as iftar dinner and menorah lighting? Are your feelings hurt because we have national holidays that are Christian? [...]

Clearly if the federal gov't weren't there to protect this land it would all just become desert ! Get the federal gov't out of land ownership and this case is non-existent.

Why is it that there is any “National” any kind of land ?

Clearly if the federal gov’t weren’t there to protect this land it would all just become desert !

Get the federal gov’t out of land ownership and this case is non-existent.

Then they'll come after the churches that have crosses or Stars of David or any other kind of symbols displayed that can be seen by the general public. The next step will be to forbid the wearing of any kind of religious symbols. In addition they will abandon the celebration of holidays since these mostly correspond with ancient religious practices. Next will come a ban on public conversations concerning spiritual topics. These "Champions of Freedom" are now finally revealing themselves for what they are. A bunch of neo-stalinists whose only concern is their freedoms and to hell with everyone else's.

The mere appearance of a religious symbol hardly qualifies under the restrictions of the First Amendment. That doesn't stop liberal judges whose interpretation of our Constitution can best be defined as loose. Your article makes an excellent point when it asks who is harmed by a religious symbol that represents forgiveness, patience, and sacrifice. If anyone is offended by that, then they have a much bigger problem, one that cannot be solved by the removal of a cross. In addition, could someone show me the law that makes it illegal to be offended? I missed that one, too.

Tear down all the public building that show the 10 Commandments, or Moses??? It's time for the tail to stop wagging the dog. If someone is offended - LOOK THE OTHER WAY!!! Geez, I'm sick of these people.. AND the lawyers wh o promote it. PS.. what ARE they going to do about Arlington National Cemetary?
