So should we "keep an eye on" any US soldiers who are religious? Several posters here fit that description, and have been described by other posters in such derogatory terms. What are you saying?... That Timothy McVeigh thought he was doing God's will? No...the most prominent man who thinks he's doing God's will these days hasn't ever had anything remotely resembling the mettle necessary to get near a combat zone. Blues, Dave My, my, my... aren't we on a "let's bash Bush, even though the thread has nothing to do with him" kick. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jlmiracle 7 #53 April 20, 2007 Quote -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In Reply To -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Their actions are wrong and they need to be stopped. If I have up my right constitutional right to protest at funerals to stop these people, I gladly will. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- so many Americans have died defending rights like the first Amendment, and you're willing to give it up just to avoid some christian assholes?!? Or was the statement a bit of an exaggeration? No it wasn't an exaggeration. To stop the Phelps from doing this, I am willing to give up my right to protest funerals. I don't protest funeral and think anyone that does and anyone that thinks it okay to do so are very bad people that need to go away. QuoteWar protestors should be able to demonstrate at funerals. These are not war protesters they are fag haters, cult members- it has nothing to do with the war. These students are not soldiers. Phelps are bad people. Bad people need to go away. jBe kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Free speech isn't free. We have to put up with the KKK and the Nazis and the new age wackos. Or the Commies and the peaceniks out here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkyDekker 1,465 #58 April 20, 2007 Quote -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Quote -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We saw the price society has to pay for the right to bear arms a couple of days ago. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- No, not really! VT was a gun free campus if I remember correctly. Boy, all those "Gun Control" laws sure did there job. Never mind the laws about murder. Lets put another 3,000 laws in the books against firearms and murder. I'm sure they will get the point sometime in the future. I was looking at things on a bit wider scale than just the VT campus. Fact is: guns are much more available in the US than any other Western country. Those guns have done a lot of good, but they can do a lot of bad as well. The shooting at VT is the flip side of the coin. As I said in another post, this doesn't mean that banning guns is the answer. It doesn't mean that adding more gun restriction or gun laws is the answer. The US decided a long time ago that guns were important to them as a society. There is a price to pay for that freedom. The shooting at VT is part of that price. The OP of this thread indicates the price society pays for the right to free speech. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pbwing 0 #59 April 21, 2007 Actually they are not interested in publicity, but they will sure take it where they can get it. Their shtick is pretty simple. Plan a protest that will offend everyone - try and get the local authorities to ban or break up their protest then they sue. That is how they are funded. That is their sole reason for existence. They piss people off, the people react and the Phelps family sues them. He's been doing this game for decades now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
