Reading about the lawsuit filed against Fred Phelps and the Westboro Baptist Church leaves me with mixed emotions.
On the one hand, it is nice to see that Phelps has to answer for his despicable actions in court. He and his batch of bigots (these thugs are NOT a church) have desecrated the funerals of America's fallen heroes and have brought untold pain to their families. Their misuse of the First Amendment is disgusting. There is no other word for it.
On the other hand, one has to be grateful that we do have that freedom. But some days, that gratitude is greatly tempered.

Freedom of speech doesn't give you the right to disrupt funerals any more than it gives you the right to shout "fire" in a crowded theater.
