Knoxville votes out three city council members for caving to atheists

[Pogo]

Stop already! Although what else can you expect from a redneck hillbilly town?

KNowxville is home to the university, dumbshit.

Yeah? What university would that be?

I'd say there was no need.

You realize that the flags in the picture show that the cemetery is in France right?


>>>>

Yep, it's an American cemetery for WWII dead in France. I can provide other photos from US cemeteries in other countries if you like.

 

[OKTexas]

Stop already! Although what else can you expect from a redneck hillbilly town?

Imagine that. The citizens vote to uphold the honor of veterans and a shitbird comes along and calls them names. Must be an Obama voter.

Yep.

The fear of a lawsuit causing harm to the community is a real one though.

Well financed libs lawyer love to drag people though long court case to punish them for not conforming to lib ideals.

The verdict doesn't matter.

It's really a type of legal oppression with legal costs as a weapon.

Someday, the people of this nation are going to get really pissed off with such tyranny.

Well if it illegal to put up the cross .........

It's not, if it were every military cemetery in the country would be in violation, almost every headstone has a cross on it.

Each headstone is for an individual. Sorry that you didn't get that.

So was the one in question, wasn't it. The soldier was kneeling at an individual grave.

 

[Timmy]

How many times do we have to do this . The government can't promote a religion . You can't throw crosses up or whatever . Geez it's the same fight every time .

Actually that already happened. We did something about it too -- we wrote the First Amendment.

Yet you keep ignoring the first 5 words of that Amendment, I wonder why that is?

Is that the well regulated militia part?

 

[OKTexas]

You tell me, you brought it up.

No --- YOU brought it up. To wit:

Yet you keep ignoring the first 5 words of that Amendment, I wonder why that is?

Now you're running away.

Really, that was my response to this.

Actually that already happened. We did something about it too -- we wrote the First Amendment.

You were saying?

The above was my response to this:

Someday, the people of this nation are going to get really pissed off with such tyranny.

Which you'll notice is neither a claim that the town violated it -- nor was it addressed to you.

You were saying?

Poooooooooooor Baby.

Actually the first amendment was written long before any challenges against religious artifacts in the public space were ever initiated. So your assertion was pure BS.

And what "assertion" might that have been, strawman-boi?

That we wrote the 1st Amendment in a response to such tyranny, when the tyranny that Correll was referring to was the bullshit expensive law suits the atheist are bringing against small towns to force them to comply with a nonexistent fabrication that they are somehow establishing a religion by placing artifacts and art depicting religious symbols on public ground.

Actually that already happened. We did something about it too -- we wrote the First Amendment.

BTW your uses of the pronoun "we" is also BS because we weren't there when the 1st was written or ratified, so "they" wrote the 1st, not "we".

No, military cemetaries mark graves with symbols of the individual faiths. I suppose the display in question would have been ok if there'd been an attempt to include Jews and Muslims

I'd say there was no need.

Here's a. Picture of Arlington . Same stone , but they have symbols on each one depending on the faith .

I see nothing wrong with the statue

A soldier kneeling at a grave is not a religious display

Counter what?

Your own quote notes that the cemeteries are on foreign soil.

If they are on foreign soil, in this case France, then it is a French Cemetery. Now it's for US Servicemen who died in the conflicts they were established for. Never said anything different. But a cemetery on French soil is a French Cemetery. It is not like an embassy (which is considered US soil) in that just because an American is buried their that it becomes US soil.

I'm not the one who's "wrong". You tried to butt in to somebody else's exchange and stepped in it. Then you actually tried to school me on what the definition of a two-letter word is. And even the dictionary defines you as "wrong".
