Judge Throws Out Lawsuit Filed by Those Who Found a WWI Memorial Cross Offensive

Judge Throws Out Lawsuit Filed by Those Who Found a WWI Memorial Cross Offensive. We hope the judge further bitch-slapped them by making them pay the defendant’s court costs and legal fees. The decision (pdf).

The fact that the plaintiffs in this case were really grasping to try to turn this war memorial into a religious issue was demonstrated by the fact that the only evidence they could dig up on that issue was a “Washington Post column indicating that there were at least three Sunday religious services held at the Monument in 1931.” The trivialness of their claims is shown by their having to go back in time more than 80 years to find even a small handful of religious services.

  • Hard to be offended by people who protected your freedom a 100 years ago, but damn it, the progressives are trying.

  • An extra slap in the face to the plaintiffs, was the fact that this judge was a Clinton appointee. I guess they thought that they had it made, when they drew a Dem appointed judge, but somehow, this one slipped through the cracks, and actually doesn't make decisions based on politically motivated slant.

  • This is why this country needs reform where stupid ass people and groups bring stupid ass lawsuits like these they are entirely liable financially for wasting the court's time (and if can't pay then thrown in jail for at least the same amount of time it took for to file and then go through the process).

  • and the judge should have filed suit against the complaintents for being idiots and wasting our time

    • Until 2007, the California Penal Code Section 26 stated that "Idiots" were one of six types of people who are not capable of committing crimes. In 2007 the code was amended to read "persons who are mentally incapacitated."[12] In 2008, Iowa voters passed a measure replacing "idiot, or insane person" in the State's constitution with "person adjudged mentally incompetent."[13]

  • A loss for the wingnut left is a win for America. Would the offended rather have a German iron cross inscribed with Gott mit uns erected on the site?

    • No, but I bet they wouldn't mind seeing "Arbeit macht frei" over the entry arches of all of the FEMA camps Oblama is putting up, all throughout the US!

  • If these assholes don't like a memorial to the dead who fought for their right to say whatever kind of stupid thing they think they can move to another country. I'm sure they will be welcome in Iran or Iraq.

    • They were offended while they were in their mother's ovaries AND their father's testes WHILE they in turn, where in their respective parents' ovaries and testes way before they even met... yep... truth, the offense reached in that deep.
