I'm greatly encouraged by the formation of the Patriot Guard Riders... a group of folks deciding to ensure that the dead are honored properly. By my math, the group that showed up for Sgt Jessie Davila's funeral would outnumber the entire Phelps church better than four to one. Good on 'em.

It's not that I'm against the free speech right to protest... but to do so at someone's funeral is just a wee bit too extreme for me to support. Perhaps returning the favor at their Sunday services would be appropriate... but I say no more, lest I bump up against that moratorium.
