Historic Tiny Cross Too Heavy to Bear
"In the Soviet Union there was a joke,” said radio host Dennis Prager, who is Jewish, as he spoke before the board.
“A very powerful dissident joke—I’m sure that Zev remembers this. They used to say in the Soviet Union, `The future is known; it’s the past which is always changing.’
“Totalitarianism is not possible, unless you erase the past. That is what you did. That is why there are so many people here and thousands outside."
The other day, in a post titled “Couldn’t They Ward Off the Power of the Symbol by Wearing Garlic?," I noted the ACLU’s panties being in a knot over a small cross which is part of the Los Angeles County seal. I guess the ACLU panties are no longer knotted, and residents of the county of Los Angeles are no longer being coerced into converting to Christianity.
