Ignorance is something that is hard for me to tolerate.......

I was watching the news tonight and one of the stories really shocked me and made my insides turn. It was a story about one of our fallen men. One of our beloved boys. Someone who gave there life fighting for you and me. He fought so that we could have the things that we cherish so much today. The security we have......what makes us American....reasons people from all over the world spend their entire lives just to get to our country so that they may have a better life.....this man was a part of it. He died in Iraq and was from Ascension Parish. There is a church called Westboro Baptist and members of the church travel around and protest at our fallen heroes funerals. Yes, that's what they do. And they think God wants them to do that. I have never in my life heard of something so disrespectful. It hurts my heart to think of these family members having to go through the pain of the death of a loved one to only have their funeral crashed by people who try to lessen the lives that these brave men and women lived. This church.....now, this is a church remember, they have a website. The name of their website is www.godhatesfags.com. I cringe when I look at this and think of the children's minds that are being molded by these ignorant fools. How can these people think that this is what God wants? How can these people walk up to these funerals...belittle the lives of these men and women....and then walk away and not feel any remorse for the hurt they have caused. Ugh! I don't think I'll ever understand the mentality of poor souls like these people. And better yet, they call these pickets....Love Crusades. It really makes me sick. On their website, they talk of this soldier and how he died in shame - not honor and how he will be going to hell with his soldier pals. Even typing that just now makes me want to vomit. So please, just know that we should be proud to be Americans. I don't care if you are for the war or against it. This is your country and people are dying for you every day so that you can have RIGHTS. Don't spit in their face when their time in this world is over. It's just not right. It's flat out disrespectful. God loves us and doesn't want us to hurt....this is not what He wants.
