Are you as equally outraged as I am by protestors at funerals of US military personal with signs that say?

They should take a short break from the funeral , beat the living sh-It out of the protesters and continue...Whoever is in that casket will agree

These people who claim to be Christians and are using the funerals as a way to draw attention to their misguided cause,need to go home and read the right bible.No where does it say God punishes the warriors/defenders of the innocent in this way.\n As a nation ,we have the finest people in uniform.We need to all keep in mind they are people just like us...except they have the courage and gusts to go where they do.. to face the possibility of always being in harms way.\n They even have told me,they have decided to serve so this nation can be free to express their opinions,right or wrong.Amazing they are still able to hear nitwits like these cold hearted protesters,and still say "I do what I do so they can have that freedom">Not many would be willing to die for their "enemies".\n They used to call you a "Commie" or "Benedict Arnold" for speaking such trash & behaving in such a ludcrious way.\n Maybe these people should keep in mind,this is s jihad/holy war...and God never said a nation couldn't defend itself and honors a nation that stands for the weaker ones.It is NOT about oil...the musliums declared a "holy war" back in the late 70's.A bit of real history for those who flunked it in school.\nThanks to all our troops...you are all heros & many here are pulling for you.Come home safely & qucikly so we can show you how much REAL AMERICANS DO HONOR  YOU & are very grateful for what you give up!!!\n *** FREEDOM IS NOT FREE***... \n Any of you who would enjoy a letter or package can sign up for someone here to adopt you at <adoptaussoldier.org>.There are many here who would love to keep your spirits up...don't be shy..we've adopted 4 soldiers,and enjoy knowing we have a small part in making their day a bit brighter...for those who want to adopt a soldier,you can also go to this site...\nGod bless our noble troops,past & present !!!!

Whatever people feel about war, Bush, Iraq, no-one has the right to inflict additional pain and suffering on a family mourning the loss of a loved one.\n\nIf they did it at a funeral where I was grieveing I would not be responsible for my actions.\n\nI am always amazed at the insensitivy and lack of humanity shown by peace protesters to our own people, when they make such a big thing about human rights etc etc.

I am a military wife and proud of my soldier.  He is deployed now.  Yeah we have lost people but those soldiers we have families who wish they were still with us.   you may not care about those who have fallen but i sure as hell do.  you need to remember what country you are in  before you go bashing those who is fighting for your freedom.

As someone who fought, sweat, and bled for this country and that flag I personally take a large offense to that picture, these people want everything and want to pay nothing for it!  They should be shipped back to where they came from on principal alone!!!!

I support you 100%, It may be so hard because of how irresponsible journalism writes the news, or maybe because of a lack of pride for their country, either way brother, you and I both served so these people could have that right, whether we like it or not. I hate them (disrespectful hippies)with all of my American heart, but I would die for their freedom regardless of how I feel, because its Americans like us and them that keep our country going. Semper Fi. As far as MacMoma...what are you talking about "worthy of your respect?", who are you? really, who the hell are you? You wouldn't be allowed to have basic human rights without our "bumbling leaders", old "shotgun" dick and our Brothers and Sisters-in-arms, you would be considered sub-human in most other countries, you should be grateful men and women of the US Armed forces spilled their blood so you could vote, or drive, or even have the right to learn...it is you who should be worried if you are doing enough for OUR respect...

OH Dear. Here we go again, More Propaganda for the terrorist's i see.\nHOW MANY questions have you asked now,and all with the same Anti Military Rhetoric. \nOH sorry i fore got about you joining the Anti Vietnam War Protesters, Its no wonder nothing bad happened you when you came home From Vietnam. \nWhile you were in, Strategic Air Command. and doing all the top secret hush hush jobs you were doing. \nDID, they find out you were a War Protester And Fucked you out on your arse.\nCould this be the reason, why you are so angry with the Military of today.\nYou can always look forward to one day receiving a MEDAL for your services. \nBut not from the USA. \nThey will be awarded to YOU From all the Grateful Terrorist's That you have served so well. \nThis is my opinion.

Not only does every American have the right but an obligation to be outraged by the tortured & beheaded servicemen. They are not protecting anything torturing & beheading our soldiers - have you forgotten the treatment of soldiers have international laws & rules. We do not torture & behead their soldiers. Shame on you for having no patriotism. I am amazed than the same poooooor Katrina victims people say leave an entire country to the torture of Al Queda. Are you suppose to be caring compassionate people & we are the war lovers? I do not think writing off an entire country including woman & children is compassionate. At least, we are willing to stay until we can safely leave their country & their children & women are somewhat safe. Al Queda proved once again how vicious they are. We got blasted for a few renegades taking naked pictures & you will defend beheadings. Good question! No I am not President Bush, I am the mother of a United States  Army Ranger.

It is a religious thing which makes this even more of an outrage.  It has something to do with being gay, can you believe that one?  They are actually protesting being GAY and NOTHING to do with the military.  \n\nFreedom to protest/march/assemble is not a freedom that we should abolish because we don't agree with what is being said HOWEVER these protesters should remember one thing:\nIF IS WASN'T FOR OUR MEN AND WOMEN IN UNIFORM FIGHTING FOR OUR FREEDOM AND OUR RIGHTS, THEY WOULD NOT HAVE THEY FREEDOM NOR THE RIGHT TO PROTEST.  They are all morons!

just wanted to let you know i am in the same boat as you are, except this is my first year of marriage. i am a very proud army wife who was completely disgusted by the lack of support from some morons on here. but, for every one negative comment, there were ten good ones. plenty of people support our troops so try not to focus on the negative feedback, those come from people who dont have a clue as to what it is to be American. It's so easy for them to jump on the "military bashing bandwagon" because they have to blame someone, and unfortunately it is always our military that gets the short end of the stick. I support ALL our soldiers, not just my husband, and i will continue to support them until they ALL come home. God bless you and your family, keep your head up!

something made up to outrage you? sounds like propaganda to me

It never was a war, it is an invasion and an occupation. Like so many other places that have been marched into and the people's lives destroyed. Does no one care? Thinking of the ordinary people, adults and children. The old, the sick, like you and I makes me either want to weep or cry out in rage! Please, oh please never again.

Absolutely not. Men and women fought, died and were horrifically wounded in 2 world wars to ensure freedoms that included a range of civil liberties that we now take so much for granted that we seem to care less as they are being progressively eroded by those in positions of power in this country. We are the most spied on citizens in the "free" world, and our freedoms are being taken away by the day. Those vociferous people who constantly repeat the politician's and police mantra that "if you have done no wrong, you have nothing to fear" will be the first to complain when we are subjugated, monitored and controlled to such a degree, in the not too distant future, that they are no longer allowed to even voice their protest.  We are calmly sleep-walking into a totalitarian police state, and most of the responders in this forum appear to think that's fine. I despair for our future, and our liberty, when you have so blithely let it go.

as you can see by the answer of the poster wishing for your death for protesting, our country is in serious decline and the intelligence level has declined when people don't realize the words of founder father, Ben Franklin that they that give up essential rights for a little safety deserve neither."..when they don't realize if one american's rights are violated, all my soon follow.\nObviously people do not take the time to read and really reflect upon what is happening when a 50 year old cancer patient is given 3 months in jail for posting a sign... Americans have always criticized presidents but now it is a crime deserving being beaten and jailed and now according to the previous poster a crime worthy of death and torture. When one sees the basic decency of our values decline to the point where people not only fail to do not do unto others but actively hate and seek their demise, it is a sad reflection of a society got down the wrong road. I applaud you, your friend and the cancer patient's courage in speaking out against madness and corruption. I do not feel people should give up this right until it becomes  actively dangerous to protest which likely will come in my lifetime. I think all who challenge the coming world order will go to these camps. If people have to witness other Americans blood being shed for exercising their civil rights, they will regret wishing it even upon them even if they are reps and those being oppressed and harmed are democrats..at least I hope they will care if they are the Christians they clam they are.

We are indeed all people.\nIt's just that when thousands of organized protesters wave foreign flags while shouting anti-American slogans swarm the streets of our country.......well,  we tend to take that somewhat offensively

I think you're exaggerating - the only people who feel that way about the servicemen are those wackjobs from the Westboro Baptist Church - nobody else is picketing funerals, etc.\n\nI believe, even though many of us are against the war in Iraq, we all respect and are thankful for the sacrifices that are made by the armed services personnel who are there.\n\nWe made a mistake in this country treating the vets of the Viet Nam war without respect - we have learned from that shameful attitude which is a low moment in our country's history. I don't believe we will ever again confuse the conflict with the warriors,the westboro baptist church, notwithstanding.\n\nedited to add: LOL does the poster above truly think that LIBERALS are the people who don't know how to do an honest day's work???? LOL LOL LOL I guess he hasn't seen the lifestyles of the conservative and greedy LOL

Yes. Every since the attack people are buying more flags, shirts, bumper stickers, name it and it's got a flag and God bless America on it. I can't stand it. I've always loved my country and supported our troops not just after we went to war or were attacked. They remind me of fair weather fans in sports. Only really being a fan when a teams winning or a teams popularity rises.
