This cartoon was published on March 8th, in The Washington Examiner. It portrays the illustrator's opinion of the protests carried out by the Westboro Baptist Church. The WBC is a radical religious organization that states that God hates and is punishing America because we allow homosexuality go without persecution and other extremely radical and bizarre views. The artist here is directly portraying the contradictions the WBC presents when they "Thank God for dead soldiers", since these soldiers died protecting the rights of all American citizens including the radical Westboro Baptist Church. The image in the cartoon shows the WBC at a fallen soldier's funeral, which they have been known to do on many occasions, holding signs that say God used the soldier's death as a punishment for America's moral corruption.
