The City of Contradictions, Las Cruces, continues to bombard the public with its governmental proselytizing. A look at this week's weekly The Bulletin v. the daily Sun-News reveals the favorite place to advertise large 'public' notices of the City. The private Greater Las Cruces Chamber of Commerce that is allowed to represent the City, actually has a faith-based strangle-hold grip on the cultural development of the City. The Chamber of Commerce has its own section regularly in The Bulletin, partly to tout its group of Conquistadors who attend ribbon-cuttings wearing blazers with a patch showing the Spanish standard bearer of Christianity, Onate, and the three Trinity crosses.
The City continues its seemingly innocuous mailing campaign to promote Christianity. One of the peculiarities is the mailings advertising the Branigan Culture Center museum displays. There are no Trinity crosses on the post cards, but just wait until you get to the museum. The gauntlet of Trinity crosses and the 1949 plaque that started it all greet the unwary visitor. The inside permanent display on the 'history' of Las Cruces reveals the lies of proselytizing.
