Live from Topeka


I just e mailed the wife of one of our fallen protectors who is promoting putting as severe a set of constraints on the Westboro Caliphate of Hate as possible. She was on the local news tonight and it was good to see her fighting the good fight, that is, keeping the drooling, knuckle dragging homophobic pustules of ignorance as far away from the funerals of our soldiers as possible.
I attended Sgt. Dominic Sacco’s funeral and witnessed the despicable protest the trolls put on. Thankfully, between the Patriot Guard and the throng of veterans and respectful folks from the immediate community, the unexplainably deranged actually looked a bit fearful. Good. Reaping what they HOPE to sow.
The next time you see a soldier in uniform or see that white sidewall haircut, give ‘em a hug and a word of thanks. The lady warriors…be careful with them, but of course respectful. They might really hurt you!

They're failing when no one has any idea what message they're trying to send. Good to hear that people showing up to pay respect and honor the fallen made a clear, cogent statement.

It would be nice if could pass laws that didn't have to pass the "Westboro Baptist Test of Constitutionality"...or better yet, that we wouldn't even have to pass laws that pertain to decency and respect. WB certainly wants THEIR rights protected. The only solace I feel is that they will meet their maker one day and my, will they be disappointed when they show up waving their picket signs. I hope that they are shown each innocent face that saw their signs and asked what they said, and the tears of every person who was attacked with their hatred in the midst of their grief.
