Curmudgeonly & Skeptical

    I'm reading that the La Crosse, WI, City Council will appeal a ruling in which a federal judge ordered the removal of a Ten Commandments monument from a city park. In ordering the city to remove the monument, U.S. District Judge Barbara Crabb said "it made some community members feel they did not belong in La Crosse unless they followed Judeo-Christian traditions," and  "The First Amendment guarantees persons of all faiths that the government will treat them with equal concern and respect ... ." 

"Oh Phil, I can't bear to walk in the park and be taunted by that icon."

"I know Muffy dearest, and they placed that heavy thing on the Earth Mother's face.  Let's move to Vermont."

     What bullshit, and this is not a religious thing with me, but a cultural issue.  What's actually going on here is that an amalgam of people, who  reached  adulthood without that spanking they deserved, are being allowed to wreak mischief on the rest of us, and this is just one example.  My research shows that fully 99% of them are from one of these 3 groups ...

• Anti-social iconoclasts,
  
• America haters who understand that stripping a society of its cultural heritage is a requisite for remaking it in their image ...
  
• Grew up in a house where the Donahue Show was watched.
  

    Judge Crabb's First Amendment  argument is simply nihilistic.  The Phils and Muffys of the world have nothing to fear from the Ten Commandments. For example, I can recite every one of them (not necessarily in order, and I usually leave out Dopey or Blitzen), but I would still be happy to (in very unJudeo-Christian fashion) inflict corporal punishment upon them until they wept, and without remorse.  Sheesh.
