They say that the USA is a wicked country for, among other things, allowing ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖs in the military and fighting unjust wars..


actually, we are, but that said, they are manifest heretics and the worst kind of all, so, none to sympathetic with them.....one can be right, but also, wrong, if you know what I mean.....

As for respectful behavior at a funeral, I think it's more a matter of common
decency not to protest or make it into some kind of political opportunity, more
than a strictly moral issue. There might be the moral issue of giving scandal,
however.

I received an e-mail  recently about a story I thought might illustrate this most
dramatically, but I can't find the e-mail. However, I have a vague memory of
how it goes, so let's give it a shot, okay?

     It's a short story about an airline flight where a military escort is on
board to accompany the casket containing the remains of his friend,
another soldier. The pilot gives this escort special priority, and then it
turns out the family of the deceased is also on the plane. When the plane
lands, the pilot has somehow arranged for a special procedure for the
family to observe the unloading of the casket from the cargo area and
transfer to the next plane, on a connecting flight. When the plane lands,
because the pilot has explained that a fallen soldier is on board, to whom
he refers by name as if he were still alive (a military tradition) and he
has asked the other passengers to please remain seated while the escort
and family get off the plane first and so forth. The stewardesses are
amazed when everyone sits quietly in their seats and the parade of
family and friends walks down the center aisle. And then someone
started to clap. The entire passenger area erupted with applause for the
family of the departed soldier, and respectful comments of well-wishing
surrounded them on their way out of the plane.


Now, I would like to ask you to imagine what may have happened if
several of the Most Hating Family in America had been on
this flight, and had stood up to ridicule the family as they walked by?

They probably would have been throw out of the plane, or worse!

The Westboro folks object to what they call "worshipping the dead," which is what they call these funerals. This video explains their position on that: https://archive.org/details/WestboroBaptistChurchDon_tWorshiptheDead

If they want to really make some waves, go after the Politicians and liberals at their funerals who enact and pass all this legislation enabling the queers and their agenda. Go after the liberal, culture-destroying Judaics who are the champions of "gαy-rights" at their funerals.

Somehow, I don't think either they would or the powers that be would let them.


Well they picketed Steve Jobs' funeral, so they don't just picket soldiers. I should get a list of all the funerals they've picketed to see what percentage are soldier's funerals.
