First, don’t settle too hard on the notion that Fart Guard can’t be sued. They keep laying hands on people and slandering people, both of which violate tort law. So if they keep it up, they will be sued! They’re a bunch of thugs. Thugs ultimately end up in court, even in a system where justice has fallen in the streets.

Second, for a group of people who claim to be loving tolerant and Christian, you are some ugly-mean critters.

Third, has it dawned on your Tricycle Tyrants, and your groupies, that you’re a bunch of hypocrites? You claim to be such lovers of freedom, but are moving heaven and earth to outlaw and block WORDS. You’re perfectly fine with the violence of marines, who rape, kill and attack people. But say some WORDS you sissies don’t like, and you start crying like girls, and turn into tinhorn tyrants. Amazing stuff to watch. And some of the most powerful evidence — of which there is a substantial body — that America is cursed by God and doomed!

Fourth, quit pretending you don’t connect the dots. You do, and it enrages you. You know those soldiers are coming home in bits and pieces, in body bags or maimed for life, because of the sins of this nation. And you know the #1 sin is embracing sodomy. You raised a generation on “it’s OK to be gay.” Then you sent that generation over onto the battle field, with a broken moral compass. So quit acting surprised that they’re getting blown to bits and pieces. Shame on your for enabling and causing it!

You girly-men keep tossing your mean-mouth boquets back and forth, and pretending by puffing your chests, gunning your tricycle engines, and being vulgar mean bullies, you can a) shut us up or b) stop the wrath of God. You know better. That’s why you cry all the time.

Shut your mouths; read the plain words of the Bible; and OBEY. Nothing else will suffice.

Magormissabib and see you at the next political patriotic pep rally (quit pretending you’re there for the funeral; you’re there for the glory you didn’t get in the past, big babies!)

Wow Ms. Phelps is an absolute nut case. Typical response of those who are prone to preach tolerance for their own special interest group, while at the same time condeming the support of the majority popular decision. The only “thugs” I’d like to see in court are those who disrupt funerals with their vile vitriol. Welcome to America Ms. Phelps, freedom of religion and speech, don’t like it? Don’t really care.

I am rather curious as Ms. Phelps seems to have a bit of an vanity complex. Seems she’s gone to some great lengths to search out any and all mention of her nutbag group of followers. Ms. Phelps I think you’ve missed your opportunity to ride the mother ship home the last time Hale Bob comet came around.

ANY funeral has the right to reverent and peaceful services. What the WBC does is beyond human. To feel you can protest a funeral for your freedom of speech is selfish to a grieving family. WBC, think about it, do you want your funerals disrupted by others. It’s just plain rude and unthoughful!!! Grow up and leave people who never did anything to you alone. Grow up and quit calling people names, too.

Free speech is a beautiful thing and I heartily support it. However, there are limits on speech. The simplest example is that of yelling “Fire” in a crowded theater. Others include instances of slander. So while we are free to say whatever we wish, we are not really free to say it _wherever_ we wish without consequence.

It’s not that I don’t support Phelps and his cult’s right to say what they want, however repulsive I may find their views. It’s the venue that I object to. I see no infringement of their right to free speech by not allowing them to disrupt a private ceremony. They are free to have their protest at many other locations.

One of the better articulations of this view can be found here.

Like the auther of the link, I too find delicious irony in the fact that Phelps is allowing the ACLU, one of the great defenders of gay rights, to defend his organization.

Just a word about the PGR - to quote directly from the website: “Our main mission is to attend the funeral services of fallen American heroes as invited guests of the family. Each mission we undertake has two basic objectives.

1. Show our sincere respect for our fallen heroes, their families, and their communities.

2. Shield the mourning family and friends from interruptions created by any protestor or group of protestors. We accomplish the latter through strictly legal and non-violent means.”

That’s it. We’re not a protest group. We don’t care who else shows up. What the PGR is about is Respect for the fallen soldier and his or her family.

God forbid any more are needed, but if you haven’t been on a PGR mission, I urge you to go, at least one time. It’s one of the most worthwhile things I’ve ever done. Whether you agree with the administration on being there or not, those that are serving are there in defense of our country, and they deserve our utmost gratitude and respect.

Donna - Ms. Phelps is a certified kook. There is neither help for her nor bonus IQ points for quoting her.

That said, I have been with the PGR for over a year now, and my experience has been nothing but ‘Riding With Respect’. I had a pre-disposition with “bikers” before I joined the PGR. This group has single-handedly changed my view of them…in other words, not all bikers are the same.
