Phelps and the Westboro Baptist “church’ are a bunch of lunatics.

God is not sending our boys home in body bags; it’s the terrorists. Terrorists themselves engage in gay behavior…the Taliban wears eyeliner and hold hands with guys.

So why aren’t Fred Phelps et al demonstrating against terrorism and claiming terrorists are dying because they wear makeup, hold hands, take pictures of themselves in flowers, have young boys as concubines, etc.?

The way I see it, Phelps is accomplishing three things with his message of hate: first, is the assault on the military, which is a socialist/leftist tradition now followed by some of the socialist radicals in the democratic party. Then there is the smearing of Christians with a broad brush carrying signs that say “God hates Fags”, which would accomplish the ‘hatespeech’ goal, and using the Word of God as a weapon to destroy Christianity in the public realm. He has even come out and admitted as such:

“We don’t picket to win people over, idiot. It’s to harden people’s hearts. Make them hate. Make them hate God even more than they already do.”

So…instead of a Christian message of love and forgiveness, he is preaching a message of hate. No surprise here.

Nobody’s going to hate God because of what the Phelps wacknuts are doing; at least sensible people, anyway.

What I fear most is their message of hatred toward Christianity is not that different from the ACLU; Phelps’ words about ‘privacy’ and ‘1st amendment rights’ are virtually identical to those used by the National Lawyers Guild, the ACLU, and all the George Soros organizations which protest against the war. The only thing is, they use the gay complaint as the reason; that our nation has fallen the way of Sodom and Gomorra. I can’t say I disagree totally with this viewpoint, but I disagree with their making a mockery of a funeral where lives were shattered and people are mourning. This just illustrates how sick these people are.

Does the marine’s family have anything to do with America supporting the gay agenda? That is doubtful. Maybe they should be instead demonstrating outside gay organizations’ offices and gatherings. A leftist goal they are working to achieve would be to strike preaching the Bible out of the public sphere categorizing it as ‘hatespeech’. The way they’re using it, and what they’re doing with it certainly qualifies as such.

Again, this is manipulation in order to spread the TNSDAAL virus.

Phelps is a liberal who won’t listen to reason, or give someone the courtesy of making his point. What a rude malicious nincompoop.

This is a matter of decency. Phelps has no ‘church’ his church is comprised of lunatic relatives who are lawyers. So he has strikes against him in both spheres; he is masquerading as a Christian to further the atheist agenda (and he’s doing a good job with that), but he’s also a miserable example of a leftist lawyer who can’t even win a case in court based on the law.

My husband reminded me that the Phelps compound had at one time, an Olympic-sized swimming pool that they were using as a write-off on their taxes. Maintenance and water used to maintain the pool were tax exempt because they were allegedly performing “baptisms” there and writing it off as a baptismal font.

The IRS was looking into it, so after 2000, the pool was filled in with concrete, ostensibly because one of Phelps’ grandchildren nearly drowned in it. But the real reason could be because of tax problems that Westboro was experiencing around the time; many Topeka residents believe that the pool was filled in because Phelps was about to lose tax exempt status on it.

These are not law abiding citizens; they are hucksters with a leftist agenda.

This is no ‘preacher’. This is not a family that lives by Christian principles; and this isn’t a ‘church’. These people are dishonest in their dealings. This is a group of liars and hatemongers who should not be practicing law, IMO..

But the same could be said of Rachel Meeropol.

**And I stand corrected; they have actually picketed gay pride events.**
