Judge not, Crazies, Lest Ye be Judged

.....The Supreme Court today ruled that Fred Phelps, the alien minister from outer space, has every right to carry signs, vilify gays, shout hate slogans, and burn American flags at the funerals of fallen soldiers under the protection of the First Amendment.  As much as I respect the Constitution and our Supreme Court,  I'm not quite certain that the Founding Fathers would go so far as to allow this to happen at the funerals of those soldiers who died in the Revolutionary War.  Of course the American flag back then had only thirteen stars, so perhaps that would have made a difference--and I suppose there were no gays.  This guy and his humongous family--the pastor has 13 children, at least 54 grandchildren and seven great grandchildren--spew hate around the country because America refuses to tar and feather all its homosexuals.  Considering the fact of his large family, it seems he ought to have been too busy to be standing with a sign or bullhorn in a protest line.  There are certainly enough individuals in his coterie to begin his very own country.  Isn't there an island somewhere in the world where we can dump this guy?  Antarctica could be a start.  We could supply them all with Bibles to comfort them should they happen upon a gay penguin.  


.....Perhaps I'm wrong again, but was it not God who said,  "Go forth and multiply"?   While Phelps remains here, he continues his multiplication as  well as his division.  And he has, no doubt, received text messages from God prodding him to hate Islam, Israel, India, and more Islam.  For him, anything with an "I" is hateworthy.  He probably believes Ishmael from Moby Dick was a fag.  Just examine the title.  Right now I believe that most people believe the First Amendment only guarantees free speech.  Not too many Americans can claim to know that it also guarantees several other rights.  The Bill of Rights part of our Constitution is a remarkable document, and the Supreme Court's function is to see that those rights are not infringed upon.  Lucky for Pastor Phelps who in a lawsuit against him required that he pay several million dollars to the family who were trying to bury their soldier son without the virulent protesters on the sidewalk.
