L.A. County and the ACLU
« on: June 08, 2004, 02:02:23 PM »
The County of Los Angeles is the largest local government in the US, with over 10 million people.  Recently, the ACLU sued the County over a small cross that is on the County seal.  The Board of Supervisors by a 3-2 vote decided to remove the cross.

This caused many Christians to go apoplectic, and, urged on by talk radio, they have decended en mass on today's Board meeting.  Because CA state law requires all local governments to listen to public comments, this has become a fun show:

That small cross is dwarfed by the huge section showing some pagan goddess of somethingorother, and the cow in the lower right, dont some hindus think that is a god or something. For that matter, the ancients worshipped the stars, so we have to remove them from the federal flag, maybe just have a blue field there, but then someone can say that represents water and somewhere there was a religion that worshipped water so we have to get rid of that too. Hmm... lets make all seals and flags clear or blank! That should keep the ACLU (Anti-American Criminal/Communist Lovers Union) happy... or would they just find something else to whine about?

Funny how they can do this and not 50 miles from that city there is a school that is forcing its students to memorize and recite MUSLIM prayers for their history class. Makes about as much sense as having Israeli kids read Mein Kampf and write an essay on how it has positively impacted their lives.

ACLU: its ok unless its Christian!

By rights, the LA seal should just show a big pair of (fake) tits and a bowl of fruits and nuts.
