NC: City council takes down Christian flag
We read:
"A Christian flag was taken down from Veteran’s Memorial in Central Park yesterday, a day after the King City Council reversed an earlier decision to keep the flag in place.
The council voted 3-1 Wednesday to remove the flag from the memorial on the advice of City Attorney Walter W. Pitt Jr., who said it violated the First Amendment. Flying the flag recognized “sectarian belief,” Pitt said. “Government shouldn’t sanction any religion.”
In mid-August, the council and Pitt received letters from the American Civil Liberties Union of North Carolina and the Americans United for the Separation of Church and State. Both groups urged the council to remove the flag.

"A Christian flag was taken down..."
Good.
Yes, and the Cross and Star of David symbols should also be removed from all national cemeteries where our fallen heros are buried.
Oh, and one more thing. Our brave, young men and women should refuse to go off and fight a war for a God-less country. Let the Godless, whining cowards of the Left go and fight for a change.
Leave the pole constantly vacant. That empty spot speaks volumes on society.

It is sad that some people have so little fluency in English that they feel the need to resort to vulgarities and obscenities to try to express their thoughts.
Dear 10:55 PM,
Even if it's the truth?
We just need to sit back and wait. You Liberals will get what you want once Sharia Law is introduced to the United States.

I have never seen mention of a Christian flag in the New Testament. Did Jesus return recently and have Betsy create one without telling me?
Ah, just replace it with a Carolina Panther's flag. That should make the gun-toting, bible-belching crowd happy.
"I have never seen mention of a Christian flag in the New Testament."
My thought exactly. What flag was it?
Some state flag has a cross on it? Or maybe the flag of the United Kingdom (which has several crosses on it)?
Some military unit might use the cross in its flag for whatever reason (maybe indicating a gunsight, which could easily be misinterpreted as a religious symbol by the ACLU).
