Collins Report

By Suzanne Eovaldi, staff writer

Just in time for Memorial Day Obama’s National Park Service has poked our veterans in the eye by rewarding the lowlifes who stole the original Mojave Desert Veteran’s Memorial Cross. After a long hard fought victory to keep the cross which was a monument to the memory of America’s World War I veterans, patriots thought the battle was over. Nevertheless when the Left loses in court it merely takes the fight to the streets.

Shortly after the Supreme Court victory a group of two legged skunks pulled the cross down anyway.

Saddened but undaunted victorious concerned veterans raised the necessary funds and replaced the cross which stands on land owned the Veterans of Foreign Wars.

Since the original had stood for 75 years and the highest court in the land ruled it could stay the veterans erected a new cross on the original base.

To the amazement of everyone the U.S. National Park Service ordered its employees to remove a replica of the original memorial cross honoring our brave war dead, who gave the ultimate sacrifice. Instead the Park Service honored the demands of those who hate our American way of life and rewarded their disregard for the laws our American heroes fought and died for.

Justice Anthony Kennedy best described the heart and soul of the ignominy being inflicted on our war dead when he said, “Here one Latin cross in the desert evokes far more than religion. It evokes thousands of small crosses in foreign fields marking the graves of Americans who fell in battles, battles whose tragedies are compounded if the fallen are forgotten.” Justice Samuel Alito, voting with the majority ruling, said in passing that until this litigation, “it is likely that the cross was seen by more rattlesnakes than humans.”

A retired park service employee’s lawsuit against the cross on public land started a ten year stream of litigation and empty sophistry about “separation of church and state.” Along the way Leftist America haters were allowed to mock the meaning of the sacrifices our finest generations made to keep America the world’s greatest nation.

Players such as the Department of Justice, our lower federal courts, Rev. Barry W. Lynn, the ACLU, certain Muslim and Jewish war veteran groups, and vandals who removed the original cross along with our redoubtable Park Service whose employees were ordered to removed its replacement because of another endless on-going injunction, continue to defile the memory of our honored war dead.

The cross caretakers, Wanda and Henry Sandoz, have watched over our war memorial located on Sunrise Rock in the Mojave National Preserve. “It just gets crazier and crazier,” Wanda said. Our ineffective Congress has gotten into the act by allowing in 2003 a land swap from public land to private ownership by the Veterans of Foreign Wars.

However, our elected officials have seen no reason to intervene over the years to stop the indignities suffered not only on our war heroes but on us, the majority of Americans who deserve freedom from the tyranny of an out of control minority.

Just how much longer will we sane Americans allow this cruel assault on our deceased veterans to go on? Certainly our president must not care because he’s not even going to Arlington National Cemetery for Memorial Day, choosing instead to vacation in Chicago.

Laughable indeed is the official federal statement that says, “The National Park Service cares for special places saved by the American people so that all may experience our heritage.”

America is in real danger. Do something yourself because the Democrats won’t help us and the Republicans don’t have the power.

What did you do to support and defend American freedoms yesterday? What will you do today and tomorrow?
