WW1 ended in 1918. In 1934 a bunch of "shell shocked" Veterans found themselves living in the Mohave Desert, a 1.6million acre desert that is now National Land. Of course today we say that Veterans who have experienced war and have problems have Post Stress
Syndrom (
PSS). Anyway, the crazy "shell shocked" Veterans in the Mohave Desert decided to erect a Memorial to their fallen Comrades. They erected an eight foot Cross on top of a Mesa in the middle of the desert...this was done in 1934!
- Fast forward to 2001...a Park Ranger claims he is offended by the Cross, it is a Religious Symbol on Federal Ground, he claims.
- To their credit, Congress gives ONE Acre, where the Cross is located, to the VFW in return for Five acres owned by the VFW.
- Enter the ACLU! and Yesterday this case was argued before the Supreme Court! "Separation of Church & State, ya know..."
- For the past few years the Cross has been covered up by plywood...so no-one will be offended.
- Apparently, the Cross is located 16 Miles from the nearest Interstate Highway. So it's not like people are looking at it on their way to work or the Gym!
This Cross was put up by "shell shocked" Vets living in the Desert 75 years ago to commemorate their fallen buddies...Does the ACLU have anything better to do?
- Just one more reason why Liberals annoy me...

This kind of stuff is so sad. Is our country in trouble or what?
This story makes me cringe. Have we lost all common sense? Why the Supreme Court would not just throw this appeal in the trash and move on to "real issues" is beyond me...Lawyers! Good grief!!
