When I heard the start of this story, I have to admit my hackles went up big time. The story starts when a "church" in Topeka, Kansas decides to picket the funeral of a soldier. They were thanking God for his death claiming that was God's way of punishing homosexuals. Albert Snyder, the father of a dead soldier who's funeral was picketed took offense to that...*sigh* I can't imagine why (yes that is intended to be sarcastic)...so as Paul Harvey says, here's the rest of the story. Unfortunately, I doubt if those people will have learned their lesson. I personally think some hard jail time and the revocation of their 501c3 would be a place to start. (any politicians with some guts out there?) Then just for giggles, since they believe God hates, the US, Canada and (do you believe it) Sweden, may I suggest deportation. Perhaps to Iraq. We wouldn't want you to live in a land that the Lord hates!

I can't think of another story I have found so entirely distasteful in a long time. To think that my family and so many others has fought for these people's right to have freedom of speech. Shame on them. To Matthew Snyder's father I say, more power to you. God bless your son. God bless all our military.
