ANOTHER LOSS OF LIBERTY: MT. SOLEDAD CROSS TO BE REMOVED BY THE ACLU AND LEFT-WING JUDGE

Ruling on a 15-year-old ACLU case, a federal judge today ordered the
city of San Diego to remove a mountain-top cross within 90 days or face a fine
of $5,000 a day.

U.S. District Judge Gordon Thompson said, "It is now time, and perhaps long
overdue, for this court to enforce its initial permanent injunction forbidding
the presence of the Mount Soledad cross on city property," the San Diego
Union-Tribune reported.

Thompson ruled in 1991 the Mount Soledad cross violates the so-called
"separation of church and state" but the case has remained in courts and become
an issue of public policy for more than a decade.

ACLU lawyer James McElroy believes San Diego officials finally will give up
their fight.

"I don't think the city has its heart in taking more action," he said, according
to the paper.

A city lawyer argued during the hour-long court hearing today that citizens had
voted for transfer of the land under the cross.

Proposition A, passed by 75 percent in July, called for the city to donate the
cross to the federal government as the centerpiece of a veterans memorial.

The ballot initiative came about after the city refused to donate the cross and
memorial to the federal government. A group called San Diegans for the Mount
Soledad National War Memorial took just 23 days to gather 105,000 signatures.

In a ruling now on appeal, however, a Superior Court judge found the transfer
unconstitutional.

The Union-Tribune said the group behind the public vote on transfer likely will
appeal Thompson's decision.

The 29-foot cross has stood on Mount Soledad as the center of a war memorial on
city land since 1954. The first cross on the site was built in 1913.

A bill authorizing the federal government to take over the memorial was authored
by Republican U.S. Reps. Duncan Hunter and Randy Cunningham. President Bush
signed the bill into law in December.

The ACLU are constantly seeking to censor America's history. In my interview with former ACLU lawyer, Rees
Lloyd, it was described to me with clarity.

Lloyd said:

The ACLU has become a fanatical anti-faith Taliban of American
religious secularism.”
“The ACLU is involved in the secular cleansing of our history. This is not just
a fight about free exercise, but about the protection of our American history.
The ACLU want to deny America the knowledge of their Christian
heritage.”

Or, as Alan Sears says: The ACLU is America's number one religious
censor.

The ACLU and the judicial activists are destroying our heritage, and they are
doing it with our tax dollars. Join us, and the American Legion to urge Congress to put a
stop to this. Support Congressman Hostettler's
legislation to stop taxpayer funding of the ACLU.
