Atheists scheme to have crosses removed


Planted atop a remote hill in the middle of California's Camp Pendleton Marine Corps Base rests two 13-foot crosses.

Originally erected back in 2003 by seven Marines grieving over lives lost in the war on terror, this site originally established for reflection has now become grounds for controversy.

It would be a travesty if these crosses are taken down, and a perfect example of "separation of church and state" run amok in this country.

You'll recall the impressive images last week from Holy Week in Spain, where military personnel bore an enormous crucifix in a procession, and there was nary a sign of an ACLU-atheist-type alliance throwing tantrums calling for the abolition the honorable tradition. While here, our Marines have to fight tooth and nail against a cadre of miserable, litigious non-believers bandying about a hackneyed catchphrase, simply to keep a plain cross. It's a sad commentary.
