Truth or Consequences
THE AMERICAN SPECTATOR
By Lisa Fabrizio on 1.5.11 @ 6:07AM
Two thousand years ago, one man said to another, "For this I was born and for this I came into the world; to testify to the truth. Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to my voice." The second man responded: "What is truth?"
Though forgiven for his perfidy by the man he condemned to death, Pontius Pilate's question retains its earth-shaking relevance through the long centuries, because it marks the difference between those who would hear the truth and act on it, and those who close their ears to its message of pure peace and justice. And for those millions who have lived for the truth -- and died for it -- down through the ages, adherence to it in all walks of life has been paramount to the pursuit of human happiness.
There is moral truth, which most in this country used to believe arose out of the Ten Commandments; given by God to his chosen people and brought to perfection by his Son. These unambiguous laws, were they lived to the fullest by any society, could not help but produce peace and harmony among men. It has been the blessed lot of the United States for most of her history, to conform her code of justice to their dictates, thus ensuring domestic tranquility.
There are political truths, the worst abuses of which, under the current administration, are all too apparent and painful to witness. There is, of course, the old saying about power corrupting, but I prefer this quote from John Adams, which could serve as an accurate description of the liberal exercise of same: "Power always thinks it has a great soul and vast views beyond the comprehension of the weak; and that it is doing God's service, when it is violating all His laws."
There are even scientific truths, which in the past referred to those obtained using the scientific method, which Webster defines as "mathematical and experimental techniques employed in the natural sciences; more specifically, techniques used in the construction and testing of scientific hypotheses." In other words, those which have been proven via Q.E.D., and are not just theories. Of course, there are those of us who believe that science is merely God's way of explaining himself to us, but that notion is deemed as entirely unscientific by our lettered betters.
And there are also American truths, those which made this a great nation and a beacon of freedom for the world. Primary among these was an imperative faith in and allegiance to our Constitution, the oldest operating governing document on the Earth, and a model for countries across the globe to emulate. Also once accepted as a unique American truth was the notion that our country was blessed by Providence; call it Manifest Destiny, American Exceptionalism or the Shining City on a Hill, Americans once believed in the goodness of America.
Those days, however, seem long past. We have so abrogated moral truth in favor of a relativism where everyone is in possession of their own set of truths, that one shudders to think what weight oaths in court testimony will bear in the coming years. The rule of law cannot survive without truth.
We have let scientific truth become so muddled, that mere and basically unsupported theories are taught as gospel to our children in public schools. The notion of real science is so far gone that, oddly enough, it has virtually been replaced by an almost worshipful belief in Earth itself as a deity; a return to paganism. Science cannot be championed or used for the benefit of mankind without truth.
There is so little left of American truth in America, that one can hardly recognizer her sometimes. The will of the people has been ignored in favor of an out of control court system and unelected czars. While reverence for our Constitution is considered so out of the mainstream, that its mere reading on the floor of the House of Representatives has engendered controversy and disdain.
A great nation, despite the virtuous underpinning of its founding, cannot withstand the perversion of truth at any level. A house once built on truth, divided against itself, cannot stand. But don't take my word for it; listen to the Father of our Country:
No country upon earth ever had it more in its power to attain these blessings than United America. Wondrously strange, then, and much to be regretted indeed would it be, were we to neglect the means and to depart from the road which Providence has pointed us to so plainly; I cannot believe it will ever come to pass.

U.S. court says Christian cross is unconstitutional
LAW OF THE LAND
Ninth Circuit ignores Supreme precedent in Mojave case

Mt. Soledad memorial cross
A three-judge panel of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has decided a memorial cross on federal land on Mt. Soledad, Calif., violates the U.S. Constitution.
In a 3-0 ruling in the Jewish War Veterans v. City of San Diego case, the panel decided that the 29-foot concrete cross, which has stood for 57 years, constitutes a government endorsement of religion and therefore violates the First Amendment's establishment clause.
"The question, then, is whether the entirety of the Mount Soledad Memorial, when understood against the background of its particular history and setting, projects a government endorsement of Christianity. We conclude it does," wrote Circuit Judge M. Margaret McKeown, a Clinton appointee.
"The decision represents a judicial slap in the face to the countless military veterans honored by this memorial," said Jay Sekulow, chief counsel of the American Center for Law and Justice, which filed an amicus brief in the case on behalf of 25 members of Congress. "This flawed decision not only strikes at the heart of honoring our military veterans, it reaches a faulty conclusion that this iconic memorial – part of the historic landscape of San Diego – is unconstitutional. We believe the appeals court got this decision wrong and we look forward to the case going to the Supreme Court where we're confident this decision will be overturned."
"Unfortunately, the decision does not surprise me based on the philosophical beliefs and records of the judges on the panel. The decision was more likely than not," said Alliance Defense Fund Senior Counsel Joe Infranco. ADF filed an amicus brief in the case on behalf of the American Legion.
"The panel has an extreme view of the establishment clause that amounts to hostility to religion," Infranco explained. "The Constitution requires that religious views and expressions be accommodated. There's a kind of disconnect in the way certain judges look at the establishment clause, and it becomes a vehicle for hostility to religious expression.
"If the case had come up in a different federal circuit, there likely would have been a different result," said Infranco. The Ninth Circuit, infamous for its activist decisions, is the most-reversed of America's circuit courts.
"The veterans are outraged over these cases. All the plaintiffs do is find a few individuals who claim to be offended by that cross at the site, and the premise of this lawsuit is the offense of a few individuals trumps the way veterans choose to honor fallen veterans. Veterans should be allowed to honor heroes, many of whom gave their lives for this nation, in the manner they choose," Infranco added.
"Certainly we're upset with the decision," confirmed Joe March, national director of public relations for the American Legion, the nation’s largest veterans organization. "We believe it will finally get corrected once and for all when it gets to the Supreme Court. We had filed an amicus curiae and we intend to do so once again. When the government appeals to the Supreme Court, the American Legion will be there again. It's the right thing to do."
The American Legion has already called officially on Attorney General Eric Holder to appeal the case, which was argued by Justice Department attorneys on behalf of the Department of Defense.
"I am asking Attorney General Holder to appeal this regrettable decision to the Supreme Court," said Jimmie L. Foster, national commander of the American Legion, in a news release. “The sanctity of this cross is about the right to honor our nation’s veterans in a manner which the overwhelming majority supports. The American Legion strongly believes the public has a right to protect its memorials.”

The American Legion strongly believes the public has a right to protect its memorials.”
The ACLU, which brought the suit on behalf of the Jewish War Veterans, did not return a request for comment.
Infranco accused the Ninth Circuit judges of ignoring the precedent set by the Supreme Court in a similar case involving a memorial cross erected by the Veterans of Foreign Wars in the Mojave National Preserve.
"I think their decision was inconsistent with the Mojave decision. The Mojave decision [Salazar v. Buono] did not rule directly on the cross because there was another issue that resolved the case more easily, but Justice Kennedy, who wrote the majority decision, left a hint the size of a barn door that crosses that memorialize the dead … do not violate the Constitution. In my view the court failed to take the very clear hint from the Supreme Court. We're hoping the Supreme Court will agree to hear this case and reverse this awful decision."
The first cross was erected on Mt. Soledad in 1913, and the large concrete cross was erected in 1954 to replace a cross blown down by heavy winds in 1952. According to the Ninth Circuit decision, the 1954 cross was dedicated, "as a reminder of God’s promise to man of everlasting life and of those persons who gave their lives for our freedom."
"Litigation over the cross began in 1989. Veterans responded in the 1990s by adding plaques, bollards and flags intended to honor veterans, and by holding regular memorial services at the site.
