COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho — A new public sculpture of the Hindu god Ganesha is drawing complaints in Coeur d'Alene.

The Kootenai County Constitution Party is urging Christians on its website to protest the artwork, calling it an "abomination" approved by the "godless group of individuals" who manage the city's public art program.

Local chairman Daniel Brannan said many Constitution Party members believe only Christianity provides a world view "consistent with the framing of our Republic."

"Many people in the party would tend to agree with opposing something like this," Brannan said. "It is representative of a false god, of a particular religion other than the one on which our country is so solidly founded."

1. Brannan obviously doesn't know much about the Constitution or the establishment clause or history.

I didn't know about this statue in Coeur d'Alene.
But, there are many people who don't agree with all of the other religious symbols that other relgions use in public, so I think Brannan should shut his big mouth.

I'm sure the Coeur d'Alene Indian tribe would have something to say to Brannan about that piece of paper called the Constitution, as well.
