Today, the Supreme Court ruled unanimously in favor of the right of Fred Phelps and the Westboro Baptist Church to protest soldiers' funerals, because we have this principle in America called "free speech." Or rather it would have been unanimous, if the Court didn't have remarkable civil-liberties troll Samuel Alito sitting on it. In Alito's dissent, he said the protest amounted to "fighting words." We have no idea how that differs from "fightin' words" as in "them's fightin' words," which we always thought were legal, albeit not too bright for a fella like yous, but we assume it's a meaningless term Sam Alito just made up so he could give the government more power over speech. Anyway, the important takeaway is that it is now legal to say "God Hates Fags"

I don&#039;t know how anyone can go on about how mentioning God (Judeo-Christian, preferably evangelical Protestant) is somehow prohibited from the &#039;public square&#039;. Palin, Bachmann, Huckabee, and even Gingrich can&#039;t shut up about the deity and religion (their&#039;s) in general. The cause of all our ills is our supposed &#039;turning away&#039; from someone the great majority of Americans believe in (at least when asked in a poll) and the solution is to embrace Him according to our self-appointed political saviors. Your mileage may vary depending on creed, current level of anxiety, etc.

I guess Sarah Palin&trade; is having a little trouble understanding the &quot;plain language of the Constitution&quot; her TP&#039;ers love so much. <blockquote>Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.</blockquote> The <i>government</i> is restricted*, not the people. Why is that distinction so difficult for so many TP&#039;ers? ______________________ * does not apply to muslins in Tennessee
Sarah&rsquo;s speechifying is just like a million monkeys typing on a million typewriters. One of these days she&rsquo;ll say something intelligent.

Yes?
Hi...is your refrigerator running?
Um, yes.
That&#039;s great because we all know that global warming is a hoax so turn that sucker up!
It&#039;s not topiary -- as my ex pointed out often.
God hates Signs? Yeah, that movie was terrible.

Most of Alaska looks headed for brimstone.
I guess Duh Gov&#039;Nuh hasn&#039;t been listening. Of course the name of God can be mentioned in the public square.
I&#039;ll bet when she gives a speech members of the audience quite often can be heard to exclaim &quot;She said what? Good Lord!&quot;

Has <i>anyone</i> suffered the way poor, poor Sarah has suffered?
<i>wacko &quot;church&quot;</i>
I chuckle when members of one church call other churches wacko.

i&#039;m getting very mixed messages here.

&quot;Yosemite&quot; Sam Alito also voted to curtail varmint rights.

They make me want to fondle some sort of round melon-ish fruit.
