1. A Texas judge ruled "In God We Trust" was a
patriotic slogan and not religious. The
12-foot steel-and-concrete crosses are supposedly not
religious because they are "memorials"... They accuse the
atheists of being disrespectful, but they are the ones
exploiting the deceased troopers to rationalize the cross

land sale of cross, land SAN FRANCISCO — San Diego's sale of a 43-foot cross and a
half-acre piece of land inside a city park was
constitutional, a federal appeals court has ruled.

cross and a half-acre of surrounding land for $106,000 to
the nonprofit Mt. Soledad Memorial Association, the same
agency that has maintained the cross since 1952. |
