“Nothing that dramatic.”
Aw shucks.
I think it would be great fun to watch someone go medevil on the WBC inbreds :D
Our troops, the Patriot Guards and Freepers...we are blessed.
I think I’d win.
If you were a sheriff I would tell you to check with your municipality's insurance carrier. I suspect the first thing said insurance company would say to you is: “NNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!”
You'd be setting up a big payday for the Phelps’ with a flagrant violation of their civil rights. How do you think they get the money to make these trips?
If you doubt me, ask yourself the question, "Why hasn't some sheriff done this to them already/"
Yeah, well, David Koresh called himself Jesus Christ too, doesn’t mean that is the proper label for him.
A true fundamentalist Christian follows the fundamentals taught by Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ went to a funeral, and cried, because he hurt for his friends, who thought their brother was dead. Even though Jesus knew that Lazarus was going to get up out of that grave, he still cried, when he saw his friend’s heartache. He grieved with them. That is a fundamental principal of our faith. Also, God was angry with the friends of Job, who came and sat with him, and taunted him and mocked him for being a sinner.
Jesus also told us clearly that many would come in His name, and call him “Lord”, but that he didn’t know them. By their “fruits” you shall know if they belong to Christ.
Phelps and his followers, produce rotten fruit. Stir up controversies, and feed hate. None of which are the fundamentals of the Christian faith.
Well, I guess we need to protect the family from the vile press as well. And the Democrats. It is disgusting the horrible things they are saying about Tony. How do we shield the family from that?

“Funeral Services for Tony Snow”
SNIPPET: “The funeral for Tony Snow will be held at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception on the campus of Catholic University on Thursday, July 17, 2008 at 10:00 a.m. At the request of the family, the service will be open to the public, and there will be no formal invitations or tickets issued. Gates will open at 8:30 a.m. and close at 9:30 a.m. Due to security, those attending the service are asked to give ample time in arriving.”
“How do we shield the family from that?”
OPINION:
You don’t. You show them how evil they are.
You let them know evil is global.
You tell them how much you love your family
and that God loves them, too.
You tell them you will always try to protect them
and will teach them to protect themselves, too.

CLARIFICATION for lurkers
“...how evil they are...” refers to the Westboro “church” protesters.
Dear Lord, please preserve the dignity of this service for the sake of Tony's family, and work mightily in the Phelps family to bring them to their knees in full submission to You. In the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Fred himself suffers from dementia, and anyone who has seen that documentary Fall from Grace, that has aired on Showtime and The Movie Channel, would see that Fred and his bunch are all mentally unstable. Two of his kids left the church and offered interviews on that documentary, and one of them said that the only people who attend Westboro are Fred and his immediate family.
Tony, I look forward to seeing you up there. Fred, I doubt if I will (nor do I want to).

These people are “EVIL”. They are the opposite side of the Wright bunch. There are always extremes on both sides.
And to picket Tony’s Funeral, they are SICK!
Tony was a wonderful man who LOVED GOD, FAMILY and COUNTRY!
This link is to the most extensive information I’ve seen on the Phelps family. Quite long, but well worth the read. There is simply no excuse for our “justice” system not having locked this guy away decades ago.

Thanks very much for this link...apparently there are other Phelps children who have left the family church and home, other than the two that were interviewed in that documentary I saw....this article will be quite interesting...again...thanks..
I missed this one, enough has been said, my love for Tony and hate for this evil bunch of dung is overwhelming.
Fear like that is why the ACLU manages to intimidate school systems that are way, way on the right side of the law.
It’s time for somebody to make a stand.
Our First Amendment rights are not governed by and abridged at some sheriff’s whim. There are consequences, bad ones, to those who overstep the bounds of their authority. The Phelps family are unutterably vile people, but they understand the rules, unlike you. To them an LEO who does what you suggest is a big payday, just like a pigeon is a Happy Meal on wings to a hawk.
You don’t kill the monsters by feeding them.
The Topeka Capital-Journal and WIBW could report a fake obituary about some soldier whose last wish was to be buried in the impact zone at Fort Riley. When the tards show up to protest the "funeral," the 1-161 FA could do a battalion time-on-target fire mission. With white phosphorus. Wouldn't that be fun?
I agree.
Our First Amendment rights are not governed by and abridged at some sheriff’s whim.
The first amendment guarantees the gov't may not abridge his right to express but does not guarantee a particular venue. Mr Phelps can plaster his hate all over the internet and on the front page of any paper who will publish his ad. There is no indication of a right to disrupt a funeral. Rev Phelps will get his punishment directly from Jesus Christ, who's gospel Phelps distorts.
