On A Roll

Forgive me, I can not remember the name of that soldier who was killed in this current war, and was shipped home to be laid to rest. And those bunch of religious nit-wits showed up with their signs saying, " This Is God's Punishment On America For Allowing Gay Rights". Plus other signs that spelled out some putrid statements.
I can not fathom the feelings of that father and family having to deal with not only the untimely death of their loved one, but the onslaught of whacked out religious crazies showing up at their dear son's funeral.
Then the father tries to sue these people with what is an essential assault to their privacy in what should have been and deserved to be ,a very sacred and private ceremony.
But the courts wanted to uphold the First Amendment of the right of free speech. Then I heard this was going to the Supreme Court.

Now, I have something for you to think about: Why is our government allowed to select and rope off,with guards, a certain distance from where the President speaks. Free speech or not, you are not allowed within a mile and a half when the big man come to your town. So how come no one runs to court to sue the President for not allowing them to yell out, verbally assault,him?
It would simply be unthinkable to have the crowds so unruly and disrespectful!

So, why can't we give that same sacred space for those who have fought and died for our country? That would make some good common sense.

I think I'll send this to Glen Beck.

Our Government says, No Social Security Increase This Year or Next Year!

Any senior citizen who has not contacted their state representative and raised issue with the fact that we get no increase because the inflation rate has not increased in two years, should have their false teeth removed and not returned till they do.
If congress can elect to give themselves raises( and big ones to boot)every damn year, then I am confused. Doesn't the rate of inflation affect them , too?
Why do they continue to get raises? And they make so much more then the average senior citizen to begin with.
Last time I looked, my electric bill went up; the cost of gasoline went up,food is affected by what the gas rates are( costs more to ship);sewer rates went up.
Why are our elected officials treated like they are royalty, and on our tax monies? They get it all, and we get ziltch!!
