OK, Bayb. I can only argue with facts; not with your belief system.
However, it would be just wonderful if you wouldn’t accuse others of all sorts of nefarious motives just because they don’t completely agree with you.
And that is exactly the situation we find ourselves in today because of people who have misused and abused the Constitution. People like the phelps group who know how to manipulate people and laws to force everyone else to have to put up with their crap.
They know that by invoking the First Amendment, people will roll over and expose their jugular because they're going to be afraid to be perceived as being against freedom of speech.
phelps et al be able to get those who see what WBC is about and want to stop it, look like the bad guys by misrepresenting them as wanting to restrict freedom of speech, in their SOP of lying.
