The problem is that the Founding Fathers envisioned a society where people would know to act in a moral and responsible manner in sensitive situations."

Good point, however they never envisioned people would abuse their rights. How could they possible know that a country would turn so selfish individually and just throw the "standard" out with the garbage?

“We’re going to stand on a public right-of-way with signs,” she said. “It’s going to be peaceful on our side.”

Unfortunately it will probably be peaceful on the other side, too. Wish it wasn't.

Disagree. There are laws against disrupting a religious service. The 1st Amendment is not absolute; and applies to Congress anyway. "Congress shall make no law..."

...war and mine disasters are God’s way of punishing sinful Americans.

Just these two?

What about plane crashes, auto crashes, train derailments?

What are the implications of bugs hitting windshields, O Seer?

These people are as damn crazy as a bunch of moose limbs, and only further illustrate the total idiocy of the religious nitwitted radicals, no matter the religion.

Stupid.

Um...that's precisely what they want to happen.

They are provoking a confrontation, so they can sue both their attackers and the local authorities for failing to protect them.

Everything the inbred white trash Phelps clan does is a scam.

If they do protest Mrs. King's funeral, they will learn something about how the first amendment doesn't protect you from having your ass beat down by a mob of angry black folks.

Lighten up.

Cool your jets.

I was being ironic.

You know?

As in joking?

As to what who should call and/or judge whom?

Judgement is mine sayeth the Lord.

So judge not, lest ye also be judged.

And love one another.

For it is by your actions that I shall know you.

[And when Baptists by any other name have a thirteen-hundred years long track record of mass raping and mass sexual mutilation and mass looting and mass pillaging and mass murder then perhaps we might begin comparing them to muslimes]

They are so low.

I've seen them demonstrate against 'fags'.

I'm a member of a church that has been torn asunder by homosexuality. I'm no proponent of homosexuality, to be sure. Only a truly depraved mind would treat other human beings this way. The way they expose themselves is absolutely obscene and local law enforcement should be well within their bounds to stop their obscenities.

More so. I understand there is a maximum hat size for membership in Phelps' "church." Size 3.

Because you have the right to do it- doesn't mean it's the right thing to do

There was a time in society when a good beating went a long way towards correcting anti-social/deviant/unnacceptable behavior.

What on earth does their view on homosexuality have to do with the funeral of a dead hero or the widow of a civil rights leader? There are places for them to express their wacky views on these and other issues but this is not one of them; if they were religious folks or in any other way ethical, they would NOT be doing this.

At least they publicize their actions so good groups like the bikers can block them. "Idiots" is too mild a word for these protesters.

Gee, I wonder if 'peaceful protesters' assemble outside the Westboro Baptist Church during funeral services conducted there?
