Does freedom of speech only apply to those with whom we agree?

This is probably one of the first times on SoWal where I have seen everyone in agreement that what they are doing is despicable. I understand 1st A rights and I also understand one's right to privacy and right to grieve in their own way without interruption from ANY outside source. As a veteran who has lost numerous buddies, I am appalled.

I am actually amazed that these people have not been injured yet - emotions are already running high at funerals and then they come along and are so insanely rude.

If they were protesting at one of my loved one's funerals, I don't know that I would have that much restraint.

Their church doesn't have windows.

They have to come out sometimes. Bet their houses have windows.

Sounds like these people need a good 'ole fashion spanking. I'm all for the freedom of speech, but there is another thing for which I'm a fan, decency. These people may be acting in a legal manner, but not a decent manner. Society usually has a way of taking care of people who act out of order, often much faster and much better than the Courts.

It reminds me of the song You give love a bad name
There is a time and a place for everything
This is not the time or the place for their agenda
Just because one has rights doesn't mean that it's right
Unscrupulous and uncaring is not a christian characteristic
I'm trying to figure out which fruit of the holy spirit they think they are operating in
Does anyone out there see love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, or self-control?
There is a time to speak
God says if you ask He will give you wisdom
That is a lifetime journey if you truly want to love and there has only been one master- Jesus
If you believe otherwise that is your choice
This is my choice
I respect what you have to believe and expect the same respect
Douglas the Intrepid would call the last three sentences "a preemptive defense", but I try to communicate in such a way that you know where I'm coming from
I am not interested in arguing is why I add these so-called pd statements
Some things I am open to and some things I am not
If I am not open to your statements of say, " Buddha was wise." , then I try to let you know ahead of time cause I think arguing is ridiculous.
If I said to you in response to your statement that buddha is a fat-bellied statue with no power to change and ugly to boot and you loved buddha, it would be on.
If I think someone else has a better truth than what I see, I will adopt that
If someone says something I don't agree with I may say something or I may not
To go on and on round and round about a point is a waste of energy unless the hamster wheel mentality is an attraction to you.
I believe spiritual warfare is a misunderstood term
Anything that is bothering you should be brought before God and passionately discussed in private
Since God created you no matter what you say it won't be a surprise
Ask for wisdom
Solomon was the richest man on the face of the earth just because God liked the fact that he asked for wisdom and not riches so God gave him wisdom and riches
Doctrine is not a gun with which to shoot your fellow man
If all of us walked in love we wouldn't need laws
God the creator is the master of Love
