I would like to believe the hype and think of them as founders who actually hoped to avoid some history from repeating itself.<br /><br />Randal - Well, the whackos surely keep us entertained.<br /><br />robin andrea - My father, an enlightened career military man told me once during the upheval fo the Nam days, that he hope that his efforts would ensure that the protests were never quashed.<br /><br />BBC - natural gays? Hmm, like organic ones or something?<br /><br />El Cerdo Ignatius - Yeah, I too have been following the good reverend for many years now. I will give him credit for not swaying from his opinion in all these years.<br /><br />Of course I know the fringe Christian sects can be an embarrassment to the rest of the organized Christians. But why do they seem to stay mute?MRMacrumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01414173517957120477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9728880.post-54690214232562577772010-09-07T08:06:04.989-04:002010-09-07T08:06:04.989-04:00I first heard of Rev.

I could not believe my ears when I heard him announce his plans for a funeral protest on the radio (he was being quoted as part of a news story).<br /><br />The guy is exactly as you describe, Mike. I assure you that that the vast majority of adherents to organized religion find him extremely distasteful.<br /><br />I wonder if there are annoying and tasteless protesters outside his church? What's good for the goose is good for the gander - although perhaps for the sake of the Reverend Phelps, I ought to say what's good for the gander is good for the gander, since lots of male geese live in same-sex relationships, and I'll just bet things like that make Phelps' head spin round like that chick in <i>The Exorcist</i>.El Cerdo Ignatiushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00646154540141962389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9728880.post-84572658367950975182010-09-04T15:37:27.639-04:002010-09-04T15:37:27.639-04:00In my former life as an adviser to students who pu...In my former life as an adviser to students who published the campus newspapers, I arranged for a First Amendment seminar every quarter. An attorney from San Francisco came to campus to advise students on how to stay within in the legal limits of the First Amendment. He often said we all hear and read things that offend us and drive us crazy, but the answer to free speech is more free speech. <br /><br />We can shout them down, but not take away their rights to speak.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9728880.post-6514682188166666662010-09-04T11:33:56.398-04:002010-09-04T11:33:56.398-04:00I remember once I ran out of jelly for my PB&J...I remember once I ran out of jelly for my PB&J sandwiches, and then I found out the gays have a crack black ops nighttime ninja outfit that steals into suburban homes and pilfers those things most precious to the heterosexual.<br /><br />Hell, if any of us were to draft a list of people and/or organizations that should, forever more, shut the hell up, the lists would be long indeed.Randal Graveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08728992897551848531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9728880.post-14784632580334211752010-09-04T09:00:04.609-04:002010-09-04T09:00:04.609-04:00Amen to the balloons.

Its is people like Snyder that really challenge one's devotion to the 1st amendment. <br /><br />Sometimes I wonder if the drafters of the constitution could have spent a week in the 21st century before they drafted the document, if they would have made a different document.Another Suburban Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16120153702254735445noreply@blogger.com
