#1 Fred Phelps is an asshole.

#2 I wonder if they've started to figure out that the chain holding the dog is about to fail after repeated abuse?

#3 I had a lovely, long talk last week with the nurse at my doctor's office. It turns out she was in Somalia wearing a UN beret just before the Blackhawk Down incident... about which she had Views, much like many of you here. At any rate, she and several other members of her VFW post (mostly relatives) are members of Rolling Thunder, which she says is now 30,000 strong, nationwide. She also said thay have very specific rules of engagement: they interpose themselves between the shouters and the mourners, physically keeping the shouters a set distance away. And they never speak, no matter the provocation. Out of respect for the mourners, she said, they will not allow violence to occur.

#4 Hmm.. I can see the respect TW. But, if it was my funeral, the biggest respect the boys on bikes could do for me is to put those assholes in the ground too. But that is just me. ;)

#5 TW, thanks for that, I feel better about our country today. It's the little thing that do it; our people doing it all by themselves.

#6 Ever notice how it seems to always be the enlisted he picks on?

Well, I know one soldier who put it in his will that his estate will fund the defense of, and reward with $25,000, anyone who puts a beatdown on those assclowns if they show up at his funeral. Thankfully it hasnt been needed (He's back just fine),

But it would be rather funny to see Phelps there with a broken nose, no teech, battered senseless and a big old veteran biker in full leathers bends over and whispers to Fred Phelps:

"Sorry Phelpsy, just carrying out the wishes of the deceased, now which one of these morons is your son? He's next."

#7 I recall that BH6 has final instructions for his PallBearers and Honour guard.

#8 Issue live rounds to the guys who fire the 21-gun salute.

#9 sorry, I'd rather see the riflebutt/knucklehead concussion practice occur. Why doesn't anyone in KS take the fight to these asshole's homes and church. They need to cringe in fear inside their own houses
