Let me start off by saying I think the WBC are a bunch of non-christian, hate-mongering, small-minded, in-bred bigots. I do not like their message, I don't like their methods, I don't like them.
Is there any doubt where I stand on the issue of their malicious, hurtful, inhumane, non-christian protests?
Yes, because....
All of the above adjectives about their protests may, just may really be how they perceive gays, the US military activities, or anything else they protest. In that case, they are protesting something they see as exactly how we see them. I don't know, because I refuse to dig into the sewage of their reasoning for their protests.
But everyone who takes the moral high ground against these cretins seems to assume that they (the ones against the WBC) are right, and the WBC morons have no right to a contrary opinion. Yea for them (those against the WBC)... real good logic there (that includes me, btw).
Let's face it... while there's nothing inherently nice about democracy, the openness of western society demands that we allow people to be idiots, and to express idiotic opinions and viewpoints, even cruel and hurtful ones.
If we don't, then maybe we're shutting ourselves up, eventually.
