What are your thoughts on the Westboro Baptist Church showing up at our fallen soldiers' funerals to protest the war in Iraq and that they believe the military is run by homosexuals?
I for one think that money and energy expended should go to what God would want them to do...........assist the needy instead of making a horrible day for families worse.
I think in this instance the constitutional right of gathering, protesting, freedom of speech, et cetera, has been taken WAY out of context and grossly abused. What they are doing should be illegal and punishable by very stiff fines. Our past, present and future military fought and still are fighting for them to maintain their legal right to harrass the ones that die doing it? C'mon!

Congress just passed a law last week making what they do illegal.

Personally I think that they are not christians.
If they have beef with the military or the establishment then take it to DC. People that are grieving dont need that ****.
As for the penalty for doing this, I say beat the **** out of em. There is a time and place for protests. NOT AT SOMEONES KIDS FUNERAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is really sad for the families,unpatriotic,immoral and unethical.You may as well spit in our soldiers faces.They are there to do a mission,not their choice,but they go anyway and we should not make negative comments about the war and disrespect them,keep negative comments to ourselves

They have way too much free time, desparately need psychiatric care and should be one of the first in line, when we bring back public flogging. Hey, I can hope!

I think its despicable, what those who claim they are Christians do. Problem is, there are far too many of them today. But there are good Christians who listen to, and follow what Jesus taught. They are the minority and its a shame.
