[QUOTE="witzend, post: 566046, member: 99"] I'd like to correct this idea. The 40 (forty) members of this "church" are all one family. They don't take new members. They live off of the money they earn by perverting our right to free speech and suing jurisdictions who try to stop their perversions in violation of their 1st Amendment right to free speech, or by suing citizens who react to their provocations. Many jurisdictions have written laws specifically to allow them to be arrested, but the best defense we have against them is the "Angels" who stand as walls between the Westboro (I'm not even going to say "Baptist") Church and whoever they're protesting so that family and friends don't have to see that garbage. The best defense against offensive "free speech" is standing tall with dignity together against it.

Somehow I don't think that any of the 40 WBC members post here, and I doubt they'd be welcomed if they tried. [/QUOTE]
