I'm sure most everyone here already knows about this site, but just wanted to post a link here if you don't.. This organization provides escorts at military funerals to honor and show respect for our troops, and to shield the families from protesters and protest groups that are taunting the families at these funerals. :bowdown:

I've seen these guys in action, incredible to say the least!! :bowdown::bowdown: I can't say enough about how they handle themselves against the nutjobs that create problems at military funerals.
 
Man, I watched some of those videos with them Westboro Baptist church nuts. I don't think I would be able to contain myself if I was somewhere that they were protesting. Just makes my blood boil. Go Patriot Guard Riders.

how come we can not just pack people up like that and drop them off in the Middle East somewhere?

It's sad that a church would promote something like that let alone attend or organize it. My Church would NEVER do anything but support and be there to comfort families even if they didnt agree with the situation. That is NOT the time or the place for a political point.
 
you meen that picture is real, i don't believe it.

That picture is very real, believe it. I have seen that "group" (I refuse to call them a church) in action. Do a google search for them, they are easy to find, I just refuse to type the website and give them free recognition.
 
I am copying this from a previous post, but i feel it necessary to repost it, having had an almost run in with these whack-jobs. The morning of my friends funeral I was told by his widow that those people were planning a protest... for what ever reasons they didn't show, but the neighboring construction site heard about the planned protest and decided to show their own support. Godbless anyone who in the shadow of stupidity, decides to act decently ---original post----You know this might sandbag my chance at becoming the most popular person on the interweb, but I support the freedom that our service men and women, through out the history of this great nation) have provided us. With their sacrifice, loss of life, and dedication to an idea that freedom is a right guaranteed to everyone. I support those people who speak out again and again when the popular opinion says shut up. I support those people who feel so motivated that they feel compelled to speak their opinion. I shure as hell Suffer those people who think that what they have to say needs to be said. I suffer people like Natalie Maines who make an off hand comment that sparked a rash of outrage. I suffer those people like Fred Phelps jr.and the rest of his Westboro cult, who feel compelled to misrepresent the love of God. I suffer those people because things like "free speech zones" negate everything everyone of those people in the armed services died for. Knowing that once any freedom is taken or given away, it is almost impossible to get back, it is our duty as citizens of this country to SUFFER those fools that have not the dignity nor the education to know where it is appropriate to make their opinions heard. Not to hijack this thread, but my point is, that once we start our "witch hunts" to stamp out those offensive comments ( i.e. the mass anti-dixie chicks demonstrations, where you can clearly see children destroying cd's) what is to stop us from burning those "offensive" books. Legislating protesters away from funerals may seem like a decent thing to do, but if you do that, then you miss out on those random acts of American spirit, like what happened at the funeral of Pfc. Eric Woods.
When the neighboring construction site learned that there was to be a protest by the Westboro squad, They decided to show their contempt for people like that, and their support for the fallen, buy lining the street where they worked at, holding flags, hands across their hearts. Actions of true american citizens brought out because of the threat of idiocy. Without the freedom granted to idiots like Fred Phelps or the dixie chicks, we would have no Patriot Guard Rider. There I have said my piece, and that freedom was given to me by God, and protected by the lives of all who have and do serve in our nations armed forces.

Regardless of one's view of the war in Iraq, funerals of soldiers killed in action is NOT the place to protest. Suppose I hated cars, would it be right for me to protest against cars at the funeral of someone killed in a car wreck?

But, everyone is granted freedom of speech in the US. And unless these people are tresspassing or being violent, they have the right to say whatever they want. Regardless of how unrational and unreasonable it is.

I'm not terribly surprised that it's a church. I know lots of churches that preach hate, however veiled it is...it's still hate. I don't mean all churches, nor do I mean a majority of churches. I mean those who's pastors begin to use the pulpit to forward their personal agendas and beliefs, not those strickly outlined in church doctrine or the Bible.

As far as I'm concerned, they don't have any rights to do shiet. If I was at my sons funeral and saw that going on, I think I would be very willing to go to jail just to tear into those people, I am very surprised that they receive so much protection from the police. Just like that POS that microwaved her little baby, why should she have any rights at all, there are boundaries. Dammit, now I need to go jogging to settle down.:banghead:
