I hate what this country is becoming.
Ultimately, there's only one way to stop this kind of nonsense:
non-compliance. Have a large group of citizens/veterans surround the monument and hold hands. Refuse to move; sit down and lock arms. Make the government use force and then broadcast the result on the internet, virally. Inspire the same actions locally in town squares where Nativity displays, and religious symbols are targeted for removal by radical atheists. Sing songs of love and belief in their midst. And feel free to repeat the words of our Constitution:
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.." It's time that people of faith conducted their own civil rights movement. Who will have the courage of their convictions, to act to overcome injustice?
