" The Freedom from common sense group wont touch Arlington because they know they would have a thousand P###ED off people actually ripping them out of their building in Madison and beating them severely. They figure they can try and pick on small towns though. And to the ones thinking religion is being forced down their throats, why didnt you speak up 50 years ago when this was put up? Too scared? Didnt have any backing to speak up? didnt even notice and needed someone else to tell you to be outraged? Watch the paper lemmings and find out what you should be outraged at next. "

" Why doesn't the freedom group go after Arlington National Cemetary...that's government land FULL of crosses...or is that "too rediculous"? "

" I am not a religious person. I havent been to church in years. Yet I have never once thought anyone was shoving their religion down my throat. And I definitely never took offense to a cross on a hill. Only very small-minded people would let the cross upset them. Im glad the cross is staying because Im sick and tired of people like Eric Barnes, Joseph Lyman, Balanced Budget and Buckets who whine about every little thing that bothers them. They think things should be changed just for them even if it goes against the vast majority. It gives me great pleasure to see them lose this one. "

" This is just a cheap end run around the law. If not a violation of the letter of the law, it is an obvious violation of the spirit of the law. Another example of so-called *christians* trying to shove their belief system (BS) down everyones' throat. Just another example of "worshiping false idols" and ignoring the core message of Christ (hint: this does not involve shoving your BS down other people's throats and then gloating about it!). "

" I am very happy about the outcome. Now, can someone stop the person from ripping down the crosses that someone puts up on the hill by Menards in Onalaska?! I love seeing those crosses. Maybe someone should make the next cross out of metal and put electricity running to it so if someone tries to rip it down, they'd get jolted and/or put up a camera to get that person's picture! "

" blogger, funny, I grew up in Holmen (lived there about 15 years) and never once was questioned, looked down upon, praised, or anything for my religion (or lack there of).
All of my friends were going to church and regliious classes, and just because I wasn't there didnt mean I got ridiculed or even looked down upon once. It's freedom like anywhere else in this country, only we have a proud tradition which (unfortunatley because the star is beautiful) turns into a cross every year for 40 days. Big deal. Holmen is still a great place to raise a family. "

" That's great that they "solved" this issue. But what happens next time something is bid and they decide who gets it, no matter the bid?Let's say they are selling an acre of land (big building site/lot)valued at $30,000, and they get 10 bids. Let's say Joe Blow's brother bid $30,000, but John Doe bid $40,000 because it is what he wanted and feels it is worth more.Let's say the board gives it to the $30,000 bid just because they can. What will you say then? It's "your" land they just sold, it's more money they could have had, that much more money you will have to pay in taxes because they sold for less.How would that make you feel?What about jobs that are bid? Will they choose higher offers because it will help someone they know to make more money? These are your elected officials... "
