Freedom of Religion? Not if you're Wiccan

More bullshit.
The Star of David is OK, as are more than a dozen variations of the Christian cross. Even the atomic whirl used by atheists gets the thumbs-up from the federal government.
But a Wiccan symbol representing earth, air, fire, water and spirit isn't recognized by the federal government for veterans' grave markers.
A federal lawsuit filed Monday accuses the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs of violating the constitutional rights of Wiccans because the government does not allow its symbol on headstones in national cemeteries...
...The lawsuit claims the VA has made "excuse after excuse" for more than nine years for not approving the pentacle, and argues that constitutional rights of freedom of speech, religion and due process have been violated by the department's not acting on requests to allow the symbol.
NINE YEARS and the Department of Veterans Affairs hasn't been able to make a decision on whether to allow the Wiccan pentacle on the headstones of veterans who practice this religion? Outrageous!
Read the First fucking Amendment, and let these AMERICANS practice their religion as they see fit.
