One of the stranger types of whack job Americans are those that protest service peoples funerals w/ their "God hates fags" posters and shouts etc. Well, we got six of them today protesting outside of school. Not sure why we were picked - maybe it was just coincidence - but it was rather pathetic.
However - they should be allowed to say what they want. I'm sure that I have written before about my cousin in Belcoo in the northern section of Ireland (England controls this part). we were discussing the Troubles and the marching season the general consensus amongst Catholics @ that point was "Why let them march through our neighbourhood spouting off all of their hate towards us? We don't want them marching through causing trouble". It seemed to me - being the American - that well, they should be allowed to march wherever they want-I mean, didn't the Nazi's have the rite to march through Skokie ?
However, context is everything - and immed. accepted that if my cousins think that the marching of the Protestants, then that's whats rite in Ireland.
And so, if protesters outside of my school think that "America is doomed" and "God hates Obama" (despite a wonderful press campaign that suggests actually that God LOVES Obama), well, let'm blather on. The worry now shifts to make sure our kids don't target these six poeple for snowballs - there is so much ammo!
