The US Supreme Court has ruled that 'you' have the right to protest military funerals. I invite 'you' to start your protest in my front yard, and we can see if your first Amendment right (Freedom of Speech) is better than my Second Amendment right (The Right to Keep and Bear Arms).
lol love it
LoL yes it good ;)
dont understand
what dont you understand ???? Bill Of right's USA
I think thats sick and about as unpatriotic as you can get.. its sad there are rights for these kind of people and im surprised there hasnt been any beatings or killings at one of them protest. I may not agree with some of the wars we fight but i sure as hell aint gonna take it out on a service man or woman.. I salute any and all service men and woman past present and future.

i would be happy to join you in this ... that could be the worst thing our government has done in hmmm about an hour ....lol
there was protesters from westboro church at my nephew's funeral and i about lost it but the police ran them off before i could go off check this out it was amazing Honoring Sgt Andrew Tobin - YouTube
YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.
Its a shame our corrupt politicians follow the leads of these big lobbyist in order to get personal gain :)
I'm pretty sure Walter isn't a fan of this guy ... Fred Phelps - old crazy douche
i knew a group of religious nutjobs doing this in charlotte, nc.. when i seen it on the news, i wanted to go shoot these people myself
nope not at all and if someone you know died protecting your freedom and that asshole Fred Phelps - old crazy douche was there disrupting the funeral you would feel the same way i do
this is one of the sickest things I've heard of,,,like someone said, kick the shit out of them,,,, I'm an old vet,,,I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to hold it together....saw this on TV awhile back...
I second this also wagon, pretty sick stuff, I don't think we are the country everyone wanted to live in anymore. The whole world is seeing just how messed up our society is and now people are questioning whether the U.S is really the home of the free.Quote:

Haha I am not American so what is this supposted to mean?
Hold up a second. I think that even demonstrating at anyones funeral is too far. If someone dies let them go in peace. Partially because i dont think its right to demonstrate at someones funeral who doesnt have to ability to stand up for themselves, And mostly because lets face it if people are demonstrating at a funeral, they must have an agenda against the deceased but the only people they are going to affect are the mourners at the funeral, and i really dont think it is right to rub salt into the wounds of people who are burying a loved one.
That being said america proclaims itself to be the land of the free. And as a non american looking in i hear preaching of these amendments on numerous occasions. The fact of the matter is for these amendments to work you cant say have the right to free speech except when some people dont want it. The whole concept of this right to free speech is that they got the right to say what they want no matter if others would not like them to say it. Its the whole essence of the amendment.
Like i said this protesting at funerals whether it be service people or not is wrong on every level. But you cannont support an amendment only in the cases where you like it.
Hey I am all for free speech no matter what i practice it all the time BUT RIP ( REST IN PEACE ) Means REST IN PEACE YA KNOW!!! You Do Not Dis. The Dead
I understand this and i said how what they are doing i strongly feel is wrong. But the fact remains that if the courts ruled that in this case the right to free speech does not apply then it simply opens up a can of worms.
The whole essence of the right to free speech from my point of view is that it doesnt matter if people disagree with your beliefs you have a "right to free speech"
And i really think if cases like this are going to be brought to court and people will lose their right to free speech in circumstances like this, then it will turn out alot worse for america then people protesting at funerals.
Again i realise people on here can be really sensitive about things so i stress that i personally disagree with these people's actions in that firstly they are so unbelievably misguided in their protests that its crazy and secondly the saying rest in peace is popular for a reason.
And on this day I will bow my head to those who passed on 9/11
Well I do believe we all have the right to protect areselfs
yes i salute those who died on this day 10 years ago, and those who have died defending our freedom.
Amen !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LoL ... what this ?
People don't have a right to do it in your front yard, that would be trespassing. But they do have a right to do it in authorized public places.
here in america we dont really have the right to do shit. bu we are told that we do and when we do it we get into trouble.
