Phreedom of Speech even for the Phelps Phreaks

March 2nd. The United States Supreme Count ruled in favor of the Westboro Baptist Church cult from Kansas and their vile habit of protesting funerals as their way of spreading hate against the gay community.

This family of church cultists travels around the country desecrating the honor of our military personnel by using the funerals of our military deceased as their forum to protest any acceptance of Gays, Lesbians, bisexuals and transgendered people in the United States. They assemble across the street or near funerals of INNOCENT people insulting/disrespecting the mourning families all around the country.

One family in Maryland fought back and sued the Westboro Baptist cult and won. But the verdict was overturned on appeal. Today the Supreme Court upheld the appeal.

What this means is the Westboro Baptist cult remains protected by the first amendment. They have the freedom of speech and the right to continue protesting military funerals.

While the actions of the Westboro Baptist cult are reprehensible it would go against the so-called freedoms we have in the United States to speak our minds. Even if the minds of the Westboro Baptist Cult are in their asses, they should have the right to express themselves.

And it goes both ways. We should continue to speak out against these religious parasites and eventually the day will come that even Fred Phelps will have croaked and there will be no shortage of people damming him to hell with protest signs displayed near HIS funeral.

Freedom of speech goes both ways. If we want it, they should have it too. But the smarter side of the issue is in how you choose to express your opinion.

Westboro expresses themselves in a way that makes them look like idiots and they become more irrelevant every time they go out.

"Here Comes the Judge" Elena Kagan

August 5th 2010, Elena Kagan confirmed as a new Supreme Court Justice.

She is the 112th Supreme Court justice and the FOURTH female appointed to the bench and for the first time there will be THREE women serving on the Supreme Court.

Whether you agree with this newest appointee or not, at least the balance of gender serving on the Supreme Court is beginning to balance a little. One third is better than having just one.

Congratulations Justice Elena Kagan



As for the "soul" side of this, here is another MOTOWN classic. The Funk Brothers on the beat, Shortly Long on the vocals.
