I agree.
IMHO, they have the right. they make me want to puke, but its a free country and we have the right to assemble and to free speech.
As far as this country going down hill, this is a very, very, very small group that is getting media attention, just like the guy wanted to burn the korans or the code pink libs. It doesnt reflect on the state of this country or our values.

I agree, but go to planned parenthood, and see the lines drawn on the sidewalk and people always there. The 1st amendment allows all the freedom to speak, unlike many countries.

But the right to bear arms should allow you to SHOOT the bastards
