72% Favor Inclusion of 9/11 Cross in World Trade Center Memorial - Rasmussen Reportsâ„¢

Most Democrats (51%) believe the separation of church and state is meant to protect the government from the church. Sixty-two percent (62%) of Republicans and 57% of unaffiliated adults think it’s supposed to protect the church from the government.

Does any of this statement make any sense? It sure does to me.
Seems fair.

The majority of Americans want entitlements (which you actively partake in) untouched and taxes raised on the top tier.

Can I also assume you're fine with that, since the majority want it?

Default 72% Want A Cross Erected on 9/11 Memorial Site

Maybe a double-cross?

I understand the so-called cross is being displayed the wrong way.

It is really supposed to be displayed in the "upside down" position, i.e. the cross beams closer to the bottom.

You see it is a miracle of the Anti-Christ!

It doesn't matter how many want it or how many don't. What is included in a museum collection is not decided by popular vote.

Nor should it be.

If paintings in Art Museums were decided by popular vote, the Picassos, Braques, and Matisses would be in storage and pictures of dogs of different breeds playing poker would be gracing the walls of our museums!
