What does a radical atheist do when he loses in court?  He takes the law into his own hands of course.

So much for the rule of law.

Now comes a report the WWI Veterans' Memorial Cross in the Mojave Desert has been stolen.

Although it is unclear who stole the Cross, we can be confident it wasn't Tea Party people, Boy Scouts, VFW members or bomb throwing Baptists.

Welcome to another edition of "The New Inquisition," Christian persecution and assault American style. 

Many of you will recall about two weeks ago the U.S. Supreme Court ruled the Cross could remain where it has been for 76 years about 70 miles south of Las Vegas.   The Cross was placed by American military veterans in 1934 to honor those who lost their lives in WWI.

The Mojave National Preserve was established in 1994, sixty years after the Cross was placed there.

In 2009 a suit was filed calling for the removal of the Cross.

The case arose when Frank Buono, a former assistant superintendent of the preserve, filed a lawsuit demanding that the National Park Service, which administers the preserve, remove the cross. Buono argued that because the cross is on government land it amounts to a government endorsement of religion and thus violates the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

Furthermore, according to the ADF, the ACLU and Buono employed the use of false claims to argue their case:

In 2001, the ACLU sued the National Park Service on behalf of retired Mojave Preserve Assistant Superintendent Frank Buono, who falsely claimed that NPS denied a Buddhist colleague’s application to install a Buddhist symbol near the memorial. Both the colleague and the story turned out to be fictitious, but Buono, who fabricated the story, himself claimed to be offended by the cross and continued the lawsuit.

On April 28, 2010, the Supreme Court ruled the Cross could stay.

WASHINGTON — The U.S. Supreme Court ruled Wednesday that a cross-shaped veterans’ memorial currently covered up by a box in California’s Mojave Desert can stay right where it is. In a 5–4 decision, the court determined that an act of Congress transferring the land under the memorial to a veterans’ group was constitutional and additionally noted that “the Constitution does not oblige government to avoid any public acknowledgment of religion’s role in society.”

Now, thieves have stolen the Cross by cutting the bolts securing it to rock.  A $25,000 reward has been posted.

Notice how Christians are forced to tolerate everything under the sun, but more and more, Christians are intolerable to an increasingly militant secular society.

Welcome to the New Inquisition.

'National menorah' lighting marks silver anniversary

Washington Jewish Week | December 9, 2004 | Anonymous

Rabbi Levi Shemtov was just 11 years old the first time a giant Chanukah menorah was set on Lafayette Park, across from the White House.

President Jimmy Carter lit the 30-foot chanukiah, placed by American Friends of Lubavitch, dubbing it the National Menorah.

The year was 1979, and Lubavitch Chabad was just beginning to bring Chanukah menorot to public places throughout the country.

"I came just as it was ending," Shemtov remembers about that first ceremony, which was attended by fewer than 50 people. "We were with people who just came from Russia and they were …

File a contempt of court claim against the ACLU for not allowing the cross to stay, for the ACLU going against the Supreme Court decision, and ask for a hundred thousand dollar a day fine against the ACLU until the cross is returned.

The cross with likely turn up within 24 hours after that.

Psalm 2:4 The Lord will have them in derision.

Psalm 2:6 Yet have I planted my King on my Holy Mount Zion. [America]

The enduring legacy of the First Landing
Posted: April 27, 2007

By Doug Phillips
© 2010

Four hundred years ago yesterday, the world changed for the better.

A cross was planted in the ground and a prayer was offered to heaven. The cross was planted literally, but it was also planted spiritually.

The event was the first landing of the Jamestown settlers. One hundred and four of them arrived at Cape Henry on April 26, 1607. We remember the event as the "First Landing," but it might be better known as "Covenant Day" for America.

The rude wooden cross they stuck in the Virginia ground was more than an ebenezer of thanksgiving to God's providence. In fact, it was an actual gauntlet thrown in the face of the enemies of Christianity. It was a legal and spiritual challenge to all comers that declared, "This land now belongs to Christ and His people."

The man who stood with the colonists and directed his men in prayers to the Lord was the Rev. Robert Hunt, a man of impeccable character and heartfelt faith who was described by Capt. John Smith as "that honest, religious, courageous, divine."

Hunt represented the heart of the mission of the Jamestown colony. The Virginia Charter of 1606 made it clear that while enterprise and prosperity were important goals of the colony, Gospel evangelism was the first mission of the settlers. Through his personal example, winsome dialogue, and spiritual leadership, Rev. Hunt worked to make this purpose for colonization a reality at Jamestown. He would take the message of covenant faithfulness to God, communicated so powerfully at the First Landing, and implement the principles supporting this covenant in the daily life of Jamestown.

When the settlers actually arrived at Jamestown, Rev. Hunt again walked his men to the shore and "gathered his flock around him without delay." Here again, prayer was the first order of the day. Standing in their midst under the trees, Hunt declared for the first time in the Western world the solemn invocation: 'The Lord is in His Holy Temple; Let all the earth keep silence before Him" (Habakkuk 2:20).

Each morning and evening, Rev. Hunt lead his people in the following prayer:

Almighty God, ... we beseech Thee to bless us and this plantation which we and our nation have begun in Thy fear and for Thy glory ... and seeing, Lord, the highest end of our plantation here is to set up the standard and display the banner of Jesus Christ, even here where Satan's throne is, Lord, let our labour be blessed in labouring for the conversion of the heathen. ... Lord, sanctify our spirits and give us holy hearts, that so we may be Thy instruments in this most glorious work."

The First Landing was a public declaration before the heathens of the land and the angels of Heaven that the only hope for Virginia was in the Cross. The settlers knew that claiming the land and embracing this hope meant more than occupation. It meant Gospel conversions. The first evidence of these conversions came when a young Indian named Navirans embraced the Gospel and became the first Christian convert of Jamestown. Like Pocahontas, and later Chanco, these three former pagans became beloved members of the community and instruments of God for peace.

Without the message of the First Landing, and the principled efforts of Rev. Hunt, this covenant might have been forgotten in the early and tumultuous days of Jamestown. But it was not.

Today, Hunt is remembered as one of America's true spiritual founding fathers and a heroic figure without whom our first settlement might have perished. He is memorialized at Jamestown Island in a beautiful memorial that carries the following inscription:

He preferred the service of God to every thought of ease at home. He endured every privation, yet none ever heard him repine. ... He planted the first Protestant church in America, and laid down his life in the foundation of Virginia.

The wooden cross of Cape Henry is now gone forever – yet another artifact lost to the ravages of time. But the covenant established on that day remains binding. As we remember the 400th anniversary of the First Landing, our people would be well served to acknowledge that once upon a time Americans thought of themselves as a nation committed to the Savior of Rev. Hunt and all of the true believers gathered on that windy beach centuries ago. And as we consider our providential heritage, we would be wise to recall that there is yet hope for our nation if we embrace the principle found in the following Scripture:

If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. (II Chronicles 7:14)

I would have posted a link to the First Charter of Virginia, but I am tired of waiting the last 3 or 4 days for Verizon to give me a clear connection to the internet that lasts longer than 2 seconds out of 60-plus. The next time I get a couple of seconds of clear sailing, I am posting this.
