Westboro Baptist Church

I know. This isn’t a DD topic. Many of my posts aren’t. They are about my life and things that are important to me. I am sure, if you read my blog, that you know how important the military and veterans are to me. They are very close to my heart. I have a family full of vets who have served the United states with honor and integrity. The men and women in uniform protect our freedoms that we take for granted ever day.

What the Westboro church does, disgusts me. The very people they protest, are the ones who protect the constitution of our great country. The US military protects their right to protest a fallen soldiers funeral! The young Marine who gave his life, died to protect the people standing on the street corner. His young wife and children are hurt by the actions of these horrible people.

AND WE ALLOW IT TO HAPPEN!

Three bikers took the battle to the Topeka, Kansas. They rode 600 miles from Colorodo to the door step of this misguided church. I applaud their courage. More people need to stand up and DO SOMETHING! Yes, more people would be me. I need to stand up and show my support for those who have given all. I need to show that young widow that I care. I need to show Westboro that what they are doing IS NOT OK!

Share this article. Add it to your own blog. Tweet it, FB it, Email it. AND DO SOMETHING! I am going to get a PGR flag and figure out how to mount it on my bike. They have some ideas on their web page.
Todays bible study will be on the Zealots and misguided faith.

  1. Have the flags. Now I just need a flag pole and a way to attach it to the bike.

  2. Missie, I agree with all my heart. I do not know how our governing officials can stand by and let these so called Christians hurt the family and friends of our fallen heros. I have not seen this in action but I have seen onTV the individuals that line the streets to protect the privacy of the families. My God stand with these people and encourage others to join them. Thank you for your stance!

  3. Not sure who you are but thank you for stopping by. The PGR does so much more than just funeral escort duty. The more I read about them, the more I want to be a part of what they do!
