A WWI fallen veterans memorial in the Mojave National Preserve, CA, is under attack by the ACLU. A former Preserve employee says it discriminates against veterans of other religions. He points to the rejection of a Budhist memorial as an example. Now, I'm a defender of all religions that share the principles and morals of the Founding Fathers, but I can't help but feel like this is a thinly veiled attack on Christianity.
I wonder how many Jewish, Muslim or even Budhist WWI veterans there were. I wonder if the rejected Budhist memorial even had anything to do with fallen vets, probably not. The point is that this is a predominantly Christian nation and the overwhelming majority of Vets in this country are Christians. How dare the ACLU or anyone else who has never done anything to serve this country tell those men that they can't be represented because the half dozen Muslim vets of WWI aren't represented as well. This is nothing more than an outright assault on the dominant religion of this country, nothing more. No one can point out real discrimination against any religion other than Christianity in America. Even at Arlington, individual religions are represented on headstones and the same would be the case and the Mojave Preserve if a legitimate Muslim/Jewish vets group pushed for a memorial but they aren't. A disgruntled, likely atheist is simply extorting minority religions in order to bumrush a Christian memorial.
Now,Lets turn it around and see what would happen if a Muslim memorial came under attack because there wasn't a Christian memorial right beside it. Oh wait, that would never happen! Not in this increasingly politically correct, Jesus bashing society. I've said it before and I'll say it again, We're politically correcting ourselves right out of recoginition as the country our Founding Fathers established.
