Congress FINALLY passed a billing barring military funeral protestors...

[Edwina's Secretary]

I have mixed feelings about this. While I agree military (or other) funerals are not the place for protest, I don't think it should be handled through legislation. It's an unneccesary limit on the freedom of speech. The only reason it's a national issue is that there's one group of bozos who have no clue.

The bill isn't going to stop them, it's just going to give them a bigger national stage. Now they can take their fight to the supreme court and get more exposure. Personally, a better tactic would be for the press to unanimously ignore them. All they want is the attention, they don't care where it's coming from.

Oh dear, oh dear. Is it a full moon???? LH and I may be in agreement again...

I am a libertarian I guess. I find the behavior of these jerks reprehensible but I would prefer a law allowing them to be beaten with sticks than prohibit free speech. It is a slipperly slope....I don't think it is a good idea to start making "Being a Jerk" illegal. There are too many definitions of "Jerk".

I mean....how would some of you feel if I was the one appointed to determine what should be allowed to be said and what not???? Scary, isn't it???

It's church groups like that who give all us Christians a bad rap!!!

What in the world are they thinking?
If God were mad at the US for the things it allows, he wouldn't go after the innocent ones, he'd go after the ones allowing it. Washington D.C. would have been erased off the map years ago!!!

I just don't get the connection between the poor soldiers who died doing what their country asked and homosexuals, specially since the ones who died were not homosexual, as far as I know anyhow.

Don't look now, but I may be agreeing with LH and ES too!
Is that a sign of the Apocalypse?

"homo sexuals"? Vets? Bad Manners? Jerks? Lets pass yet another LAW, ratified by our Congress. And while we are at it ~ let us "erase" Washington DC off the map. That will teach "them" No "homo sexuals" in the military ~ oh please.

Maybe "straight" people should sue the government. After all, why should they be the only ones risking life and limb in the armed services?

[Edwina's Secretary]

Pssst...there are homosexuals in the Armed Forces...only they have double-duty....defending America and hiding who they are for fear of being kicked out of the job!!!!!
