<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nAndy11M sends the story <\/a>of how the town of King, North Carolina was forced to remove a memorial from their park because some unnamed supposed veteran was offended by the sight of a cross and the town of 6000 souls didn’t want to fight the illiterate anti-Christian organization Americans United for Separation of Church and State. <\/p>\n King, a small city of about 6,000 people 15 miles north of Winston-Salem, dedicated the memorial about a decade ago. But the statue was removed Tuesday night, immediately after The King city council voted 3-2 to end the lawsuit. Now, an empty hole can be seen where the statue once stood.<\/p>\n MyFox8 in Winston-Salem, reporting on the controversy the other day, said the memorial is on city-owned land but was paid for through private donations.<\/p>\n \u201cBoth sides in this matter wish to avoid further costs, and this agreement will ensure that the City of King will not spend additional taxpayers\u2019 funds to continue litigation in federal court,\u201d the city said in a statement after the vote.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n I know that Americans United for Separation of Church and State is anti-Christian, because just 90 miles from King is Duke University which has just decided that they’re going to blast the adhan<\/a>, the Muslim call to prayers, across the campus, and Americans United for Separation of Church and State has no problem with that.<\/p>\n I’m not a particularly religious person, but I have nothing against anyone who is, nor am I offended by sights and sounds of the pious. There is nothing in the Constitution that mandates a separation of church and state, like those illiterate Stalinists claim, but that doesn’t stop them from claiming that there is something there. I hope they choke on it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
