If you protest at a soldier's funeral, your mama should get smacked.

Oh, and you should receive the 21 gun salute to your face!

I detailed a few funerals (5).  Never had a protester.  Don't think I could keep my cool.  Of course, I don't think my CO would've hesitated to take his Rangers off their leashes in such a situation.

INcase you were wondering, no good will come of this thread.  Next time, pause and consider the topic prior to the start of typing.

I've seen a documentary about this group you're speaking of.
They are a disgusting bunch of zealots who are raising their children in the same tradition.
However they have their rights, as shocking and unsettling as their behavior is. The sad truth is...
It's far easier to be an a**hole than it is to honorably serve your country.

The group that hails from the Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka is headed by the notorious Pastor Fred Phelps. He claims that American soldiers are dying in Iraq because homosexuality is condoned in American homes. According to the rumor mill, very little proof of that theory exists in Topeka, Kansas. The group has been traveling to the funerals of soldiers to stage protests in recent months, using each tragedy to bring attention to themselves, and drawing the ire of citizens nearly everywhere they go.

Beware:  Their web sight


Blatant self-promotion at the expense of America's Heroes.  Otherwise it would just be another hate group no one ever heard of.

Now, question to the OP:  Would you have posted this if you hadn't thought it was "the gays" rights being upheld to protesting the funerals?

The Supreme court did not uphold a ruling. They in fact did not rule at all, which for now allows this group to picket and protest funerals. This stems from a missouri law saying this group can not protest within a certain radius of the cemetery. Because the Missouri law did not specify what the radius is, the supreme court did not rule on it. Missouri is in the process now of fine tuning the law and the ACLU is sueing the state of Missouri because of it.
40 other states including Iowa have similar laws on the books. Iowas' law is that these clowns can not protest or picket 1 hour before and 1 hour after the funeral starts. Making that constitutional in the eyes of the courts. Once Missouri restates their law these folks will disappear like the did here.  :salute

Dont you love how she can smile throughout the whole thing?
Whats funny is that there is a group on facebook against this "church" in which someone listed the phone numbers of all their leaders....to be used for who knows. 


People actually fighting back against them lol....

And for enlightenment...the biker organization (Patriot Guard) that goes where these protesters at funerals are and battle back.

They think that the United States promotes a homosexual agenda and that that's what the soldiers are dying for or something retarded like that. Standard 'Class A' nut jobs.
