Well folks get ready.........The WBC using their freedom of speech that our soldiers have fought and died for them to have, will be protesting on Memorial Day. The site of this protest is of all places Arlington National Cemetary! The laying of the wreath at the tomb of the unknown soldier has gotten their feathers all ruffled I guess. I really hope many a people are there to counter this protest (I know I would be if I could). I say they picket Starbucks (afterall they have those on may military intallations) but leave ANC ALONE!
My question is, do you think is is more of a ploy to get attention than protesting based on their beliefs?

They're crazy. They should be sued and locked up for good. I don't think I have ever wished any ill will on any person except on them. They're demoralizing America and the whole world.
There has to be a movement that counters them. Something bigger and probably more visually profound. They have to be swamped by an event that's obviously aimed at them but should also be for the benefit of the rest of the nation. Just thinking.
On the wild side of things, I wonder what would happen if they were kidnapped and dropped off at Afghanistan.

I don't hate many people, especially not other people who share the same basis for my religious beliefs...but these people disgust me.
I don't understand their motivation with this. Why must they ruin the memorial service of people who have nothing to do with their bigoted agenda? My best guess is attention. I have to go brush my teeth, these people leave a bad taste in my mouth.
