The city might as well be called Rancho Cuckoomonga with its overreaction to complaints about a billboard sponsored by an atheist outfit:

Gaylor said sign companies have declined business before, but no company has taken down a sign after it went up.

The group currently has signs in Atlanta, Phoenix and Seattle.

"My gosh, we have a billboard in Colorado Springs right now, about a mile from Focus on the Family," said Gaylor, referring to the evangelical organization headquartered in Colorado Springs. "If we can have it in Colorado Springs, why not in Rancho Cucamonga? It doesn't speak well for the state of tolerance if you have to stifle your critics."

Peter Scheer, executive director of the California First Amendment Coalition, said the city's actions are "dangerously close" to censorship and a violation of the First Amendment.

Because of stunts like this, I will never live long enough to see any atheist ever be elected president.
