I was researching the ACLU website today and ran across an article on a 2006 Kentucky law that was passed to limit speech at funerals. The ACLU took the case and won citing the 2nd amendment for Freedom of Speech. The part that struck me was that the law was written so broadly that, according to the ACLU article, it could have prevented the Patriot Guard Riders from "being close enough to support the families of soldiers who have died in Iraq during military funeral protests."
While I do not always support the fights which the ACLU enters, I will always defend the rights of Americans to Freedom of Speech - even if I do not agree with the method they choose to exercise that freedom. What makes America great is the Rights and Protections we have under our Constitution. No other country has these rights.
In my humble opinion, anyone who would protest a military funeral is an idiot. The rights that protester is exercising was fought for and defended by soldiers - many of whom gave the ultimate sacrifice to protect that right.
I am a member of the Patriot Guard Riders and recommend to all bikers that they look into supporting this organization. You can find them at Patriotguard.org
God Bless America!
