This webpage is not about the Radical-Left;  but the Radical-Right.  It is not about politics, the story is about disgracing all of America.

 

When are State and Federal Politicians and Officials going to stop this disgrace from continuing.  If a family member or friend died while he or she was serving the United States Military and this group did the same, how would it make you feel?

Please write and call your politicians and government officials and have them pass the necessary laws to prevent these disgraces to all America from continuing.  Allowing this crap to continue is just as bad as the crime itself! 

America has civilians guarding our southern border now.  Does America need civilians guarding our cemeteries too?  I hope not.  A military funeral should be a place of honor and respect;  it should not be a place of continued war...

Home Of Soldier Who Died In Iraq Egged; Relatives Get Calls

http://www.wave3.com/global/story.asp?S=4570464&nav+or2f

(KOKOMO, Ind.) -- Police posted an around-the-clock security watch at the home of an Indiana soldier killed last week in Iraq after it was vandalized and his family received disturbing phone calls.

The home of Sgt. Rickey Jones was egged Saturday, three days after Jones' family learned the 21-year-old and three other soldiers had been killed by a roadside bomb north of Baghdad. His family also received phone calls in which the caller said: "I'm glad your son is dead."

Now, Jones' relatives and police are bracing for the possibility that a Topeka, Kan.-based group will protest at his funeral Monday.

Members of the Westboro Baptist Church have protested at military funerals across the nation, including shouting insults at soldiers' surviving relatives and holding signs that read "God Made IEDs" -- a reference to roadside bombs.

The group claims American soldiers are dying in Iraq due to divine intervention because the United States harbors homosexuals.

The Westboro protesters, however, could face new restrictions at Jones' funeral if Gov. Mitch Daniels signs a bill this week that would make disorderly conduct at a funeral a felony and keep protesters at least 500 feet from a gravesite.

That bill, which won final approval Tuesday from the Indiana House, would take effect immediately after being signed by Daniels. The governor's press secretary, Jane Jankowski, said Daniels would sign the bill as soon as it arrives on his desk.

"We're trying to get this family some closure, and not have to deal with these stupid signs," state Rep. John Smith, R-Kokomo, said Tuesday.

State Sen. Brent Steele, who authored the legislation, said the bill doesn't go as far as some states' attempts to hold back protests by the Westboro group.

"I went as far as I thought I could and still have a constitutional bill," said Steele, R-Bedford.

Mark Potok, a spokesman for the Southern Poverty Law Center, said it's still an open question whether some of the new laws restricting picketing are entirely constitutional.

He said his civil rights organization has listed the Westboro Baptist Church as a hate group for years. The minister who leads the group advocates making homosexuality a capital offense.
