I'd like to think that I'm not a violent man.
But if I were ever so unfortunate that my path should cross that of Mr. Phelps, that belief in my pacifist nature would be sorely tested.

Just out of curiosity, what happens if he and his followers show up at some funeral attended by a large American Legion group?

Minor adjustment - they are all swedes or norwegians, that is members of old danish provinces,

Well they survived this...

After the September 11, 2001 attacks, Phelps' group went to New York City to protest the rescue efforts going on there, mocking victims as they were taken from the rubble, shouting obscenities at rescue workers, and demanding that those still alive be left to die. Phelps reasoned that God had caused the terrorist attacks as a punishment for tolerance of homosexuality, and that it was God's will that those who suffered in the attacks should die. Signs carried at the Ground Zero site included, "THANK GOD FOR SEPT. 11", "FDNY SIN (with a picture of stick-figures engaged in anal sex)", "NYPD FAGS (with a picture of stick-figures engaged in anal sex)", "YOUR PENTAGON IS SQUARE", and "TOWERS CRASH, GOD LAUGHS". |

Frredom of speech is one thing, but isn't there a law or something against agitating against a defined group of people?
Damn, this group is sowing the seeds of sympathy towards america in me, and I don't like it.

No reall immidiate connection with all this but I wonder if in any place of the world organized religion isn't a conservative force.

In 19th century England evangelism was a liberal force, advocating universal suffrage, abolition, women's rights and worker's rights. Even in the US evangelists were major proponents of abolition, women's rights, and child labor laws.
