Re: [atheists-614] Supreme Court rules to anti-gay protestors at military funerals

I'll bet anything Westboro gets money like Paris Hilton, by being famous for being famous.  

It must be "fund raisin' time in Dixie" whenever they make the national news.

 

I was thinkin'...in order to achieve any chance at a retirement, I ought to fling atheist slurs at funerals so fellow atheists would be motivated to fling money at me!

(I wrote a generally appalling scenario, and realized upon reflection I am too PC to include same in an open forum!)...

1. Unlike Westboro, let's just see how long I'll stay out of jail.

2. Of course, it might be an "early retirement" since I'd be dead as soon as the pall bearers get back to the guns in their cars.

3. But, I'm all about making a point. 

(I'm looking for a job at the Onion, anyone know anyone who knows anyone?)

Okay, what's really disturbing is the length our judicial system will go to defend their non-profit status.

"It's their belief.  Send in money, cure grammy's cancer.".  whoa. 

Doesn't pass the sniff test.

Over 20,000 separate sects of Christianity, always fascinating what gets their rocks off.

(That's weird, I suppose the TRUTH isn't as easy to determine as some might wish.)

Wow that's really messed up. A similar story about Christian parents wanting to adopt in England had the opposite result due to their homophobic ideals.

Breaking News Alert: Supreme Court rules for military funeral protesters
March 2, 2011 10:23:17 AM
----------------------------------------

The Supreme Court has ruled that the First Amendment protects fundamentalist church members who mount attention-getting, anti-gay protests outside military funerals.

The court voted 8-1 Wednesday in favor of the Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka, Kan. The decision upheld an appeals court ruling that threw out a $5 million judgment to the father of a dead Marine who sued church members after they picketed his son's funeral.
