We're not happy because this mindless Christian boosterism (I don't think the Alabamans supporting this ridiculous monument thing include many Jews) is evidence of the low level of education of the majority of Americans (especially in the southern latitudes), which is a dangerous condition.
Yes, as some posters have pointed out, the number of real wacko Christians is rather small, but one would think that any properly educated person, Christian or not, would immediately see that the courts were perfectly correct in smacking this Moore guy down.
