I couldn't help but notice this article ("A year later, protesters persist outside UCC," Simi Valley Acorn, Aug. 1), as I often pass by the UCC on Sunday mornings and wonder what the motivation is here.

It seems the law has been broken, and, according to Ms. Marino, " We have to stand with our nation's laws; otherwise there's anarchy."

Well, I have a question for Ms. Marino. Being that Congress recently voted away our Fourth Amendment rights, the current criminal administration illegally spies on it's citizens, it's cronies rob the treasury for illegal blood wars for oil and profit, who are the real criminals/anarchists?

Did Liliana start any wars? Did she cause the deaths of over 4,000 brave Americans and (according to the Lancet Journal) over 600,000 innocent Iraqis?

Did she torture and rendition citizens to secret prisons with no habeas corpus? I think not.

Has a law been broken? Yes, maybe technically, but seriously, folks, where are our priorities here?

Protesting a place of worship for doing the Lord's work in fighting to keep a family together, four-fifths of which are U.S. citizens?

I think these protesters would be better served to protest their corporatist government, who keep the borders porous to supply the cheap labor for large corporations.

Compassionate Conservatism at it's finest.
