Patriot Guard Riders

Something I still have on my personal AIM profile: I find it so disrespecting and so dishonorable for a group of so-called Christians to protest a miliatary solider's funeral with chants of hate that God hates America because we embrace homosexuals. Shame on this minister and his entire congregation for preaching hate. They say that God hates us so much for embracing homosexuality that a solider's death in Iraq is his own fault. What is this world coming to? I can't wait for that minister to meet his maker only to be sent to Hell for preaching the opposite of the Bible.

The Patriot Guard Riders are a group of people on motorcycles that carry US flags and attend military funerals to muzzle the sound of the protestors. Thank God for them. No family should ever have to go through that kind of garbage at the loss of a loved one fighting for our country.

Regardless of what anyone thinks of this war, pulling out before we are finished puts many lives in danger. Al Quieda is waiting for us to leave before they strike the new Iraqi government and the country falls back into terrorism. The US people can't have it both ways. Those that protest the war and the fighting are the same people who will say, at the immient death of the Iraqi people, that we didn't do enough to help the people. Like throwing money at them is going to solve the problem.

Thankfully, Congress passed a law - in almost record time I bet - to stop protesting at funerals within 500 feet if I remember rigtht. There is no need for people to actively preach hate. If you don't like this country so much, you know how to LEAVE. No one is stopping you; that's the beauty of the United States. You are free. Try taking your biased, hate crazed messages to any other country in the world. You wouldn't make it a full day.
