How is protesting a soldier's funeral "political speech" exactly? How does such an act protect the public from government overeach?
Perhaps you are not familiar with these slimeballs....they are not a church, but a group of lawyers. The so called “Protests” they state are designed to do one thing, get people to assault them so they can sue, and they have been moderately successful at it. The signs and words they use are carefully crafted.
What I am trying to say is that their speech IS politically offensive ON PURPOSE, and they are well within their rights to say it. They are not permitted in the cemetary, nor are they permitted in the funeral homes. They draw permits, stay on the sidewalk, and are peaceable. Their material is offensive to most people, but the constitution gives us a right derived from god to peacable assemble and protest. ANY restrictions upon that right leads down a path nobody here wants to go down.
The government is always looking for a way to control the people ( John Dingle, democrat, michigan ) “It took a long time to find a way to control the people.”...He said this about obamacare..do you really want to give an asshole like this the power to regulate your speech?
