2. Not real sure how to answer your question
But I will say that I have not met one single person of faith who supports what the westboro people are doing because they are not really a religion, but more of an inbred cult.

I don't care if it's Christian, Muslim, atheist, Hindu, Buddhist, Judaism or any other religion.
Everyone has a right to speak for or advocate their religion to whomever they wish as long as they're not breaking any laws or acting in any capacity related to local, state or federal government.

9. Very slippery slope, that.
I would strongly advise not going down this road.

10. Why just religion? Why not any speech that I don't care for?

11. "limit proselytizing to places that are..." "limited to what the audience is agreeing to listen to"
those phrases put your argument to bed immediately.
That's not a hatchet job on the First Amendment; that's taking a Howitzer to it.
CC lurkers, perhaps.

John Adams warned in a letter, “Remember democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet, that did not commit suicide.”
