These protesters are not CONSERVATIVES. They are bigoted, close minded, one issue scum. I consider myself a conservative and fully support our military. It is a sin to do what they are doing, in every religion that I can think of, and they will get their punishment when they go beyond mortal life. Of course if they get punished here on earth that is not a bad thing. I wonder how they would feel when one of them dies if people picketed their funeral. Probably be in court in a second to stop it. The court got it right, just too bad it wasn''t 3,000 miles instead of 300 feet.

They don''t just protest soldiers any more. The protested at the funrals of some teen girls in southwest Kansas. I hope they like it hot, because it''s going to be mighty warm where they are going.

This is what the right wing has become, is it any wonder that the political right has last all credibility in this nation? A bunch of nut jobs, crazies all listening to rush, ann colter and watching (and beliving) fox news!

A FUNERAL is No Place for a protest. The families deserve their time to say good-bye and grieve their loved one, in Peace. Good for the court....Baptists.... what do ya do with em?

Read this book called, Natural Right and History by Leo Strauss, it is very good and allows one to truly examine the differences in Athesim, religion, socital norms & mores, differentiating between groups down to the actual person. Great read and makes more sense in a historical socio-political multiculturalistic right and wrong environment.

the only reason they have the right to do that is our dead or wounded soldiers gave them that right to freedom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

These are the people most in need of actually opening up the Bible and really reading it from start to finish. Unless they change their ways they will never "enter the kindom of God" they profess to love so much. The hatred and mean spiritedness of their existance they spew forth onto grieving families only serves to blacken their own souls.

This is a common sense ruling supporting the right of family and friends to mourn their dead free of interference. Bravo!

It''s a loss for the Topeka, Kan.-based Westboro Baptist Church, whose members are often seen at military funerals claiming the deaths of U.S. troops overseas are part of God''s punishment for the nation''s tolerance of homosexuality.
----------------------

Is anyone else confused about the connection between these two issues? What the heck do dead soldiers have to do with "god" punishing us for tolerance of homosexuality??
