North Carolina has joined 48 other states and the District of Columbia in a lawsuit against a Topeka, Kan., church whose members protest at military funerals. Westlake Baptist Church teaches that U.S. troop deaths, AIDS, 9/11, Hurricane Katrina and other disasters are God's punishment for allowing homosexuality, divorce, abortion and other practices it considers sins.

That would be Westboro Baptist Church not Westlake Baptist.

Those people are going to have to answer to GOD one day.
That will be worse than any lawsuit.

These people are pure twisted evil.

I'm all for free speech, but these sicko's torment people at their most vulnerable and pained - they should not be allowed to continue to do these protests PERIOD.

This is one of the topics that rubs me the wrong way. How could anyone, especially people connect with a CHURCH even consider picket a funeral, military or not!?

Their irrational behavior is the reason the Patriot Guard Riders was founded.

I am proud to be a new member of the Patriot Guard Riders and was privileged to stand on the flagline and ride in honor of Spc. Christopher Barton last weekend. Here's some video I saw online:

Every time i hear these loons talking about their ideas and rationalities on the reasons behind tragic events and what they think should be done to "appease" God; I shudder to think what their idea of what America and the world should be like. i think it would make Nazi Germany look like Disney World. They quite literally hate EVERYONE! It's very sad especially when you see them raising their children to believe the way they do. You have to wonder what has driven them to be so intensely vile and hateful in every aspect of their life towards anyone.
