They belong either to the local congregation or to the denomination. They open their doors and welcome the public but they are paid for and supported by their membership. Many churches have their own cemeteries and these are not public either. While I believe in the right to free speech I also believe strongly in private property rights.<br /><br />You better be careful here Ron. You are going to be having an ongoing forum.Bo Lumpkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03692102292136517945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100794551999406058.post-46669861964150775992010-10-18T19:54:44.613-04:002010-10-18T19:54:44.613-04:00I understand your concern about privacy, but, free...I understand your concern about privacy, but, free speech is guaranteed by the Constitution, privacy is not. That having been said, I believe the Supreme Court will allow for a barrier to prevent unnecessary interruption of private services and I would support that move completely. We must guard against feel good court decisions which may seem good at the time, but which fly in the face of the Constitution. I so agree with you last comment. There are indeed a lot of guns at a military funeral. My comment would be, morons, interrupt at you own risk. <br /><br />Love,<br />DaddyRon Scarbrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17361765637730764504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100794551999406058.post-72904534250863538532010-10-18T17:52:48.911-04:002010-10-18T17:52:48.911-04:00Ok Daddy, I have a question.

As you know, I completely agree with you (raised well) on the freedom isn't pretty bit. <br /><br />If someone were to to say marry someone of another ethnicity and their wedding were bombarded and interrupted by such morons as these mentioned in your piece, would these folks not be arrested for disturbing the peace? <br /><br />Even though the Church or Cemetery itself may be on public property or perhaps not, aren't the proceedings considered private? As when we stay in a hotel, we are permitted to protect ourselves and belongings as if we were at home... etc<br /><br />Why would a private service, probably held on private property, allow for such behavior amongst uninvited thugs?<br /><br />Love,<br />HeatherHeather Olsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07799211893656176858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100794551999406058.post-21199542006743667842010-10-18T17:44:48.207-04:002010-10-18T17:44:48.207-04:00Happy Birthday Daddy!Happy Birthday Daddy!Heather Olsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07799211893656176858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100794551999406058.post-8779746897642440302010-10-18T09:42:46.389-04:002010-10-18T09:42:46.389-04:00All I can say is AMEN, Brother.

I despise what they are doing. I also despise what a lot of other people are doing and am offended by about 75% of it. That being said if they can shut them up, they can shut us up. I for one don't want to shut up.Bo Lumpkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03692102292136517945noreply@blogger.com
