EVANSVILLE—The professional protesters from a so-called church in Kansas that held signs and shouted remarks in Bedford at several local churches back on November 6th, those people will appear at the funeral and burial of Pvt. Jonathan R. Pfender in Evansville today.

Wisely, the people of Bedford simply ignored the radicals and thus deprived them of the publicity they crave for their anti-gay agenda. They came to Bedford to protest State Senator Brent Steele's support of legislation that would prohibit them or anyone else from protesting at funerals.

Evansville officials are hoping everyone down there adopts a similar approach. Pvt. Pfender 22, of Evansville was killed on December 30th in Iraq by an improvised explosive device during a patrol.
