Wrong; it will be wrapped around intolerant leftist Progressive Liberalism advancing the State at the cost of liberty and freedom of choice.
we'll just have to agree to disagree. definitely.

Wrong again moron; try using a dictionary before you embarrass yourself again.
Yes, you really are THAT incredibly stupid.
For other clueless dimwits who struggle with the English language and comprehending the Constitution; endorsing does not equal establishment and the Constitution does not ban religion, it prevents the State from establishing a religion citizens must adhere to.
The historic reasons are clear; our founders had come to this land to escape State sanctioned persecution of religion. European nations sanctioned and "required" their citizens to abide by the States religion. Our founders wanted to ensure that our nation allowed for religious freedom, but NOT freedom FROM religion; contrary to many dullard arguments desperately trying to destroy our culture and morality.
It says, "respecting an establishment or religion." It clearly does not mean that they are prohibited from ESTABLISHING a religion and nothing.
Right; you were making up your own version using that special brand of stupid you like to wallow in.
Pick up a dictionary and explain how establishment = endorsement you repugnant dimwit.
Wrong again shit-for-brains; from your own quote it clearly states "establishment of religion, OR prohibiting the free exercise of". I don't know where you get "OR" out if it or claim "establishment" equals "endorsement."
You're either very stupid and do not comprehend what you read, or English isn't your first language. So which is it? I'm thinking you're really THAT stupid and inclined to cluelessly parrot dimwitted leftist talking points like a trained circus monkey.
“When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross.”
WTF are you talking about lying scum. I said nothing about "OR." The relevant clause says, "respecting an establishment of religion." You keep dropping the first two words to make it seem that "establishment of religion" is a verb phrase. It's not. It was not understood that way by the authors, supporters or courts. You are lying scum that does nothing but parrot the talking points of other lying scum.
That's a pretty nice talking point but I don't see much truth to that. That cross has been around since the 50's and it hasn't come down and forced someone to accept Christianity at gunpoint yet. I haven't seen it try to exalt any particular race. The number of black Christians is about the same or even greater than the number of white Christians. About 80+ percent if memory serves me right. And more go to church than any other ethnic group too, but I haven't seen us try to exalt them over others (part of what fascism is said to do...exalt a particular race)...but maybe I missed that one. I also haven't seen supporters of keeping that cross try to appoint a dictatorial type of leader (something else that is associated with fascism) but rather most of them seem support term limits (and happy they are there for the president right now) and open elections, even if some are mistakenly on the side of voter ID. That is still far from "forcible suppression of the opposition," which is one of the key comments of fascism. So that statement looks nice and might rally the troops of the left but there is little if no truth to it.
Here's the deal though: When folks start attacking (and this suit is nothing less than an attack) things that are important to people they're going to make noise. That is what is happening in this case. But this cross will go the way of the dodo bird and a little noise will be made as it goes. And eventually this society will become the bastion of secularism that the [extreme] social left wants. It is inevitable. And yes, that makes me sad.
Take all pagan worship symbols off gov property!

Oh, i see, you are focusing on a typo. Damn you are stupid.

While I think this is just plain stupid, this I also know, If someone put up a Pentagram, Star of David or Crescent the same size as the Cross on public land, the same number of loony right wingers would want that down as do the loony left wingers in this case.
Certainly it makes you sad, you are a Christian and you like the idea of Christins being the dominate religion in the USA, but, we are returning, after the big Communist scare of the 50's to the secular nation which was the intentions of the Founding Fathers. You are still allowed to freely practice your religion, but hopefully, it will have less influence on my government.
The cross doesn't affect me personally, but there are those that object to it and therefore, it is right that it is taken down.
