The Marines are not a Christian organization. While I applaud their desire to honor their fallen comrades, surely they must know that at least a few of those they are honoring may not have been Christians. What sort of message does it send when the symbol they chose to use is so specific?
Why not a flag or a giant wreath or some other symbol not associated with a particular religion?
And how does anyone state, as bolded above, that freely expressing one's views about this or any other matter is "anti-American?"
Absolutely mind-boggling.
I believe the answer is contained in the article. They lost the last cross to a fire, so they are just replacing the symbol of God watching over us all. It boggles my mind that people can take offense at that. Why be so intolerant?
Seems to me, the only ones that might have a right to object, would be the families of the fallen. I'm confident they appreciate this symbol.
I think it is quite real. People are sick of Atheists and gays trying to run everything. They don't like this, they don't like that. Boo hoo. Change America to suit the minorities. Enough is enough. Life is tough get used to it.
People are sick of religious zealots and extremists trying to tell everyone how and where to live, how to feel, and running everything into the ground. Wah, wah, wah. Change America...America is always changing, and now the "minorities" were previously the "majorities" or close to it. We'll see how the enough is enough brush suits them when it applies to them, and their reaction to 'life is tough get used to it' is their chaser for their misery.
FYI your information I don't insist on anything. I am not that religious, but I do believe. People are tired of others trying to change things of value that Americans have held dear for centuries. All of a sudden the minorities want to take away everything. The majority in this country are Christians whether you like it or not .
This is what it's really about. The atheists are just useful tools being led by a quiet social revolution meant to destroy America. It's insidious.
Quote:
Gramsci, a young communist who died in one of Mussolini's prisons in 1937 at the age of 46, conjured up the notion of a 'quiet' revolution that could be diffused throughout a culture -- over a period of time -- to destroy it from within. He was the first to suggest that the application of psychology to break the traditions, beliefs, morals, and will of a people could be accomplished quietly and without the possibility of resistance. He deduced that "The civilized world had been thoroughly saturated with Christianity for 2,000 years..." and a culture based on this religion could only be captured from within

Why do the resident Lefties here completely blow it about Separation of Church and State? Nowhere does it state in ANY DOCUMENT that a religious symbol CAN NOT be on public property. NOWHERE does it say this! Where do you people get your info? Oh that's right, indoctrination centers like our public school system. Meanwhile, one of our Founders went to church mass in the capitol building in DC EVERY SINGLE SUNDAY!
This could be solved by providing a separate cemetary for atheists, but that is not what they want.
The Marines are part of the Marines. You are not a part of the Synagogue.
I'll give you something else to cry about. Did you know that football teams pray together before they enter the field? Let's see you complain about that.
Of course the fundamentalist Atheists would whine about this.
