Fred Phelps, Anti-American

He's been going to military funerals with hate messages against homosexuals and all Americans.

Finally a case against Phelps is making its way to the Supreme Court.


In my opinion, a funeral is not a valid forum for hate messages.  Especially a military funeral.

It's ridiculous that we have to legislate basic respect for each other.

We need to protect grieving families from his assault by restricting hate speech near funerals. 


But we need to make sure the protection is adequate. Don't just say "don't make noise at someone else's funeral" because he could still show up with his signs.  It has to be, your message must not be seen or heard within two miles of the funeral.  


Yes, that means if he happens to be "in the neighborhood" he needs to take his hate speech somewhere else.  Not sorry to inconvenience him at all.


And we need to take away non-profit status from his so-called church, which is clearly engaging in distasteful political activism and not religious activities.
