Right or Wrong?
On the same day that Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca announced his resignation, three County Supervisors voted to restore a small cross on top of the San Gabriel Mission that is depicted in the County seal.
With the ACLU’s seemingly endless cross-hunt agenda now insisting that the Supervisors are trying to “smuggle” the cross onto the County seal, this seems like the perfect time to put everything into perspective with a new Sheriff and a new Sheriff’s badge.
“In a county as pluralistic as this, with as many different religious beliefs, there is no basis for the county to be adding that symbol when so many other faiths will be completely left out,” declared Peter Eliasberg, legal director of the ACLU of Southern California.
If the ACLU is serious in upholding Mr. Eliasberg’s claim, they must immediately demand that a religious symbol that predominately embraces the County Sheriff and deputy badges be removed.
And that religious symbol is the Star of David.
Mark Rosenbaum, chief counsel of the ACLU of Southern California proclaimed: “Placing a cross, the universal symbol of Christianity, back on the seal communicates that L.A. County favors one religion above all others and above the decision not to practice any.”
The same can be said about the Star of David, the universal symbol of Judaism, on the Los Angeles County Sheriff's badge.
On behalf of fellow Los Angeles County residents, this is to propose the traditional five-pointed star badge that is consistent with the stars on the American flag replace the current six-pointed star on the badge.
Let’s look forward to a new sheriff and new badges, while praying to God Almighty that with this new leadership, we will be protected from criminals with the same fervor that the ACLU is trying to protect us from religious symbols.
