Quote:No one's saying it was a good idea or in good taste, but the alternative is restricting free speech and association. That's a dark and dangerous road that should be avoided at all cost, even if that cost is agitating some violent radicals.

Totally agree. Our society worldwide has failed in its consideration of using better judgement.

Sadly, its also our enemies that use our freedoms and rights to benefit and them and against us. Somehow this double edged sword has reared its ugly head again, and Im sure it will continue.

These latest actions certainly doesnt tell me we can outsmart them, and sadly the idiots who inflame use their freedoms as their excuse. Again Westboro Baptist Church comes to mind.."pray for more dead soldiers", "planes crash, God laughs". Yep, Im sure when our forefathers drew up our Bill of Rights and put out certain ground rules, they had this crap in mind.

They're not "hurting" anyone with the protests, and have that right, but would you blame a father who just lost his son fighting to protect these "rights" to go over and clock one upside their head? Then the father goes to jail.

I guess I just dont get it. Sometimes, just because you can, doesnt mean you should.

Honey does this dress make me look fat? No honey, the fat makes you look fat. Sure , one has the right to say it. Think there would be consequences. Common sense has flown out the door.
