Cross removal

[Haul Asp]

A federal judge on Wednesday ordered the removal of the Mount Soledad cross from property owned by the city of San Diego within 90 days or he will fine the city $5,000 a day.

“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,” said U.S. District Judge Gordon Thompson.



It's is now time, and perhaps long overdue for the citizens to give judges like Gordon Thompson the boot.

Let's nail Gordy to it.

"Just east of the summit of Mt. Soledad is a Korean War Memorial with a 43-foot-tall cross as its centerpiece. The City of San Diego was the target of a lawsuit in 1989 charging that the presence of the cross violated the California Constitution. In 1991, a Federal court ruled in favor of the plaintiff, Philip Paulson, an atheist." -www.tfd.com

People are getting ridiculous. 1 person objects so everything has to change. I object to the objection. Does that mean they will change it back?

[chrish]

No - someone else already objected to your objecting to the objection.

Sorry.

[Haul Asp]

Objection overruled.

[beachguy_inthongs]

Objection Overrule Overturned

chrish, have you ever seen this Korean War Memorial?

Or, is DPR nowhere near San Diego?

[chrish]

No - I haven't.

Have only been to San Diego twice. Both times to visit a sick relative.

BTW -
DPR = Demokratik People's Republik (of)

Is that the Afrikkan spelling?

The Democratic Party did not repudiate the Republican People's Party's policy of Westernization, but did not pursue it with quite the same vigour. It was also less militantly secular than the Republican People's Party. The Democratic Party was removed from government when General Cemal Gürsel staged a military coup, ousting Menderes as Prime Minister — the military feared that the founding principles of the Turkish Republic were being eroded, and there was growing public dissatisfaction with Menderes' perceived intolerance of criticism. Menderes was later executed.

It's the socialist spelling.
