Thank you, Kristinn.

WAY TO GO KRISTINN and all of the rest of our wonderful FreePers in D.C. Chapter.

Miss all of you guys and gals and sorry to send the vermin of the great State of Kansas to dishonor America and more importantly living and dead veterans lying in peace after giving up their lives to preserve, protect and defend all of the rest of us.

GOD BLESS YOU AND MAY GOD CONTINUE TO BLESS AMERICA.

[AliVeritas]

From the article:

Margie Phelps, spokeswoman for the Westboro church group, said the group was protesting because "Congress doesn't have the power and can't pass enough laws to stop the wrath of God" against homosexuals.

"America is doomed because she has institutionalized sin and exalted homosexuality," she said.

Huh?

Many people in cars and on motorcycles honked and gave friendly waves to the FreeRepublic group as they drove by.

There ya go! J

This Memorial Day, thank a soldier for your freedom.

We will.

Thank you Kristinn and D.C. Chapter for getting this message out.

[afnamvet]

Thank you Kristinn and the others for countering these Westboro scum.

[PGalt]

The DC Chapter has a special place in the book of freedom.

Thanks to all of them and their families and friends.

Thanks to all the Freepers upholding the morals and values that our military fights to keep. Thanks for standing between my dad's resting place and these low-lifes. They have no shame.

[RobFromGa]

bump. although you are not serving as a soldier in our military, you are engaged with our internal enemies and for that I again salute you and the DC Chapter with the

George W. Bush Memorial Day 2006 "Citizen, Not Spectator" Award

God Bless Free Republic, and God Bless the DC Chapter.

Hope to see you again soon, Kristinn.

Kudos to Larry Margasak of the Associated Press for a well-written and balanced story, a rare nugget from the AP these days. And, of course, thank you to the patriots of the DC Chapter. We stand with you in spirit, as always.

[aculeus]

Good for our side!

[Fudd Fan]

Thank you Kristinn and God bless you and all the DC FReepers. You guys are warriors too!

[half-cajun]

I was in the car at the top of the hour when Fox News Radio had their news report. It mentioned Free Republic was there protesting against the loons.

Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka, Kan.

These church members are a disgrace to Christianity. I disagree with them completely and feel they are turning people away from Christianity instead of leading them to salvation. They are doing the devil's work, not the Lord's.

Thanks D.C. Freepers!

Bush signs law prohibiting protests at military funerals

[flushed with pride]

Normally, Larry Margasak is a left-wing toady for the DNC.
Given that he failed to mention (or investigate) the fact that Fred Phelps is a registered Democrat and friend of Al Gore is a glaring omission that reveals his true motives.

[mockingbyrd]

Do you really think they are Christians? I am not one for conspiracy theories, but I suspect that they are left-wing lunatics who figure they can slam our brave soliders while making Christians look bad. They're like a really bad caricature of Christians.

Thank you.
