Mendacious and Malevolent.

Why should I be surprised? Courts have always made exceptions for "memorials," so Congress, in its infinite wisdom, has decided that the Mt. Soledad cross, which is on public land, is a "veteran's memorial" (whether it was ever intended to be such or not) and therefore is protected from court assessments of First Amendment issues. The activists don't even acknowledge the First Amendment, they just call this a "very difficult battle." Against the law of the land, I suppose.

Meanwhile, the House of Representatives, in a 391-3 vote, condemned public criticism of the Boy Scouts. Apparently, 391 members of the House were upset that the Department of Defense chose to uphold the Constitution and not grant federal aid to an organization that discriminates against young boys on the basis of their religious affiliation.

And in an absolutely stunning reversal (not!), Karen Krueger, who was initially upset that her child was exposed to a book in which other kids her age discussed drinking and sex (gasp! shock! horrors!) has now fessed up and admitted that the book's removal from the library and restriction within a modern literature program requiring parental concent is just not acceptable: "Now I want it banned."

We are not surprised.
