I have recently been obsessed with the issue concerning a father who lost his son fighting in Iraq, burying him...mourning his loss while having the disgusting WBC picketing about homosexuals and the fact that "GOD loves dead soldiers" Not only did his father have to endure this horrible picketing, but now he is ordered to pay the WBC's legal fees that were incurred during a civil suit where the father of the soldier sued WBC for 5 million dollars AND won, only to be overturned by the Fourth Court of Appeals.
Bill O'Reilly has offered to pay the legal cost..which is a very nice gesture, my only problem??? THIS IS A SOLDIER WHO DIED FOR OUR COUNTRY!!!! The country whom is now turning their (the courts) backs on his family! This shouldn't even be an issue! He shouldn't have to pay these horrible PEOPLE!
Yes we live in America, Yes we have a right to freedom of speech...but at a funeral?? come on! The law tells me to wear my seat belt, tells me that i have to have health insurance, tells me that i have to pay taxes but they can't tell these people that they can't picket a funeral??? Especially the funeral of the very people who are protecting these Idiots rights??

We buried my cousin last June (almost a year now). While he didn't die in Iraq, he did serve 2 tours there. We were fortunate to only have very positive support, making what was one of the most horrible days of my life, one of the most beautiful days of my life. There is a group "The Patriot Guard" who met us at the airport when they brought Matt home, and were there when we buried him. Men on "iron horses" letting the American Flag flow behind them showing their pride. They stood tall outside the church were the services were held and the burial ground. They hugged my Aunt as she mourned and went down the line to thank each and everyone of them, in disbelief that they were there to protect her. I only wish that the father of this fallen soldier would have had the same experience.
While I may not agree with all of the decisions that our Government makes, I love America, and I love the Men and Women AND their family that fight everyday to protect me and my family.
John 15:13 (New International Version)
13Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.
