I think it is absurd that ...Mary, you are so right. I think it is absurd that they call themselves a church. No God would condone what they are doing.<br /><br />Helen, I will keep that suggestion in mind if they ever so up at a funeral near me. And I hope other people will consider doing the same.<br /><br />Carol, while you are right about our right to free speech and assembly, when should our rights trample over the rights and dignity of other people. As Justice Alito wrote in the one dissenting vote on the issue, "Our profound national commitment to free and open debate is not a license for the vicious verbal assault that occurred in this case."<br /><br />This group is free to assemble and shout out their hateful messages in any public place, and nobody wants to deny them that right. I just think most folks would rather they do that at the town square than at the funeral of a soldier.Maryannwriteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09479027709233807149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28674373.post-82614644718517568092011-03-09T11:07:38.931-08:002011-03-09T11:07:38.931-08:00Well, I disagree in one respect.

So according to our Constitution, they have the right to do what they're doing.<br /><br />However, they are breaking laws much higher than our laws. And they will need to answer for that at a later time.<br /><br />My view.Carol Kilgorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15168273312704732896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28674373.post-68554454425207843362011-03-09T10:00:23.330-08:002011-03-09T10:00:23.330-08:00I was really surprised by that ruling, too.

Don't wait for the motorcycle vets to show up. Join them or stand as a town and back them away from the funeral and cemetery.Helen Gingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09794759602654727110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28674373.post-87824303351444926652011-03-09T08:28:39.850-08:002011-03-09T08:28:39.850-08:00Amen!
