Mount Soledad

I was shocked to find that a court ruled that a Cross displayed at a Veterans’ Memorial at Mount Soledad, California near San Diego is unconstitutional. Apparently the judge plans to smash it down with a bulldozer.
The United States Navy received the land for free so now it should give it up since it cannot care for it.
Why allow the Cross to be removed from the site? It has been established. It is now a historical marker indicating the life and spirit of the United States at the time of the Korean War - which was a war against Godless Communism.
If it is removed then put it up again and again and again.
I hope they appeal the appeal or do whatever it is necessary to guarantee the right to freedom of religion and speech. We must not allow the government to strike down a symbol of religion and faith for which those men and women have DIED for so that others can live without concern.
Separation of Church and State also means that the state can not suppress religions.
The concept that Christianity is a religion of exclusion is quite confusing. Tolerance should be the order of the day. That court order is an attempt to muzzle, crush and destroy religious practices and moderate them the way that Communist China moderates reincarnation.
Why allow them to drag that Cross down into the dust the way that the statues of Lenin and Stalin and Sadam Husein were?
