Westboro Baptist Church to Blue Jays: "God hates Canada"
Toronto Sun ^ | October 23, 2015 | Postmedia Network

Posted on 10/23/2015 1:39:58 PM PDT by rickmichaels

Apparently "God hates Canada," and that's something members of the infamous Westboro Baptist Church believe the Blue Jays might want to know.

The gay-bashing church group, infamous for its vile protests of soldier funerals, plans to protest the Blue Jays game in Kansas City.

Members want to let us "depraved Canadians" know we're doomed for giving our country over to "sodomite filth," and so on and so forth, according to a statement.

It's a rare opportunity for the merry band of raging haters.

The church is based not far away, in Topeka, Kan. And since Canada has denied Westboro members the opportunity to protest north of the border, screaming at our baseball players is as close as they can get.

"How in God's name can you 'he men' baseball players -- known for your physical prowess -- stand by like a bunch of sissies in the face of what God calls an 'abomination,'" the group posted online, referring to our same-sex marriage laws.

Ironically, the son of the now-deceased founder of the church, Fred Phelps, lives in Calgary. He fled his father's group of bigots when he was 18 years old.

> Their mode of operation is to say provocative things in the hope that someone will over-react. Then Westboro sues, claiming their civil rights have been violated.

maybe they are an experiment run by the Freedom From Religion Foundation. They certainly have similar m.o's

And forget Cub Scouts. You’ll get Beavers!
Other things to look forward to ...

Professional football petering out before February.
No more catsup on your fries. Malt vinegar only.
Temperature readings that don’t tell you how cold to feel.
Snow that stays around so long it wears away before it melts.
... and another load of potatoes.

That’s the general consensus. The primary family’s a bunch of personal injury attorneys.

I would have no idea about all the people God hates if it wasn’t for the Westboro Baptist Church.

Westboro's MO is to publicize their intent to picket funerals and such in order to get face time in the MSM.......the reality is that based on the distance they have to travel, they very seldom actually show up.

Since Kansas is in their backyard, they might be there..........

With that being said, the MSM is more than willing to give these crazy kooks the face time they thrive on in order to portray these inbreds as representatives of Christians..........

I figured that cult would have folded up after Phelps died.

Same here.

I did see something funny, though, after Phelps died. A really trashy topless bar on the freeway in my city had a marquise sign posted, saying, "burn in hell, Phelps." That was the pot calling the kettle black!!

The Sun is a conservative tabloid. They serve up tabloid news.

I think it was Florence King who said, “It’s a clear sign you’ve created God in your own image, when He hates the same people you hate.”

In Florida, there is the ‘Baker Act’ which allows a person to be detained for psychiatric evaluation. I propose to have each and every one of these kooks Baker Act(ed)!

I’m highly suspicious that the “Westboro Baptist Church” is actually a leftist-run Psy-Op program.

That may well be and since several of their "family" are lawyers they are looking for any opportunity to sue.

Listen to the haunting call of the loons, it's inspiring.

Oh wait a minute, that's just one of those fake Baptists who hate everybody and contribute to Al Gore....
