One of the great things I've seen in my encounters with these WBC idiots here is that whenever they slither into town, it brings together diverse groups of people from the community to stand in opposition to them.

The last time I encountered them at a soldier's funeral, it was in Plant City, Florida. They had around 10 of their members out to protest.

Literally hundreds of people turned out to support the family. The PGR and other riding groups (American Legion Riders, Combat Vets MC, Caretakers MC, Nam Knights, and a host of others) had over 100 people there as invited guests of the family, lining the walkways around the church. But there were also hundreds of people from the community out by the church and lining the procession route, holding up flags and signs offering their thanks and support. It's always amazing to see. For some reason, my allergies tend to act up and my eyes get a little watery. No idea why....

This is the "silver lining", if you will, of the vile actions of the WBC - it truly does bring the community together to oppose them.

It's because, even though here at USPOL it might seem that we're at each others' throats, in reality we're all still just Americans, and we know that we're all in the same boat together, and we know how to stand up for what's right.

Nothing wrong with "allergies," Matt.
