Prophetic Musings

Thoughts from a small-town, old-fashioned guy living in the suburbs.

Why this shouldn't happen
Sorry Kim, but I don't agree with you on this. As despicable as Fred Phelps and his motley collection of morons are, we can't start interfering with their 1st Amendment right to say whatever they want. If we start passing legislation to stop these idiots from spouting their bigoted puke, that gives them the same rights to stop us from saying our more sensible puke.

I agree with the sentiment. Anybody that protests at a soldier's funeral deserves nothing less than an orchestra level seat to the lake of fire. However, we can't do something to stop them from saying what they are going to say. These soldiers are dying to protect the 1st Amendement. Let's not trample on their memories by diluting it.

Besides, I think that a group of bikers is going to intimidate these people far more than passing a law will.
