Saturday night we saw a TV ad about the Westboro Bpatist Church.

Their free speech is akin to yelling fire in a theater when at a military funeral. I predict that sooner or later they will be trampled.

The thing that I wonder about is that these people from northeastern Kansa have stopped playing their games in Kansas because they know the Patriot Guard will be there, purportedly to escort the bodies to the cemeteries but actually to let the Phelps group know that some of them may lose their temper and who knows what a bunch of motor cycle rowdies will do.

The Patriot Guard are men and women who believe in supporting the flag and what it stands for and they do such good work of threatening without actually doing anything illegal.

The premeditated interruption of private funeral services and not allowing the family to bury their loved one in peace is not exercising free speech; in my opinion it is stalking and harrassment. I'd like to see stalking laws applied to this group when it comes to the interruption of funeral and burial services. It just might work. They are in fact serial stalkers of military families burying their dead.

Hmmmm....I might be on to something.

I think The Phelps family says a lot about what most people cover up with PC lip service. Really sad though.
