Washington
– President Barack Obama signed a new veterans bill that prohibits
the Westboro Baptist Church from making hateful demonstrations at the
funerals of fallen servicemen.
The
Kansas church, which is by and large made up of one family, travels
hundreds of miles on any given day to make loud graveside protests at
the funerals of veterans they don't even know.
Their
issue: homesexuality in the military, when the veterans they so
dishonor have no such issues. The Anti-Defamation League and the
Southern Poverty Law Center have both labeled the church a hate
group.
Said
President Obama in signing the bill, "We
have a moral sacred duty to our men and women in uniform. The graves
of our veterans are hallowed grounds."
