| Quote: | McElroy said he didn't expect California Sens. Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer, both Democrats, to embrace the measure as they did.
“I didn't expect them to go with this fad,” McElroy said. “But this has become good fodder for politicians in an election year.”
Feinstein and Boxer tend to be staunch church-state separation advocates. But both also support a plan to spend federal money to preserve California missions that hold church services because, the senators argue, the missions have historical significance.
“The Mount Soledad cross has been a great source of hope and inspiration for decades, and it has important historical significance to veterans and San Diegans alike,” Feinstein said.
Boxer said, “I believe this monument to be a memorial to our veterans, and therefore should be allowed to stay. The Hunter bill was drafted in a way that is consistent with the latest court action.” |
I am encouraged that there appears to be at least a small remnant of sanity remaining, even among the most liberal of politicians. This litigious assault on traditional American values may have met its Waterloo. Let's hope so. |

Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer had a lucid moment.
We need to make a note. 
This is good news indeed and quite surprising in today's atmosphere.
