Maybe if he settled down with the right guy and got laid, he'd calm down.

He married some God-awful harridan years ago and cranked out about a dozen or so kids. Most make up his 'church' congregation but some have split from his cult. I think they make up the most disfunctional family west of the Missouri.

I know -- but I think my theory (self-loathing repression case) is the most plausible explanation for this nutjob.

I'm almost certain that Phelps et al are leftists that put on an act to portray the 'Religious Right' as hateful nuts.

I believe Phelps' two eldest sons left the cult and rightly spilled the beans on their old man's insanity and abuse of the remaining, obviously brain-washed family members who make up what the MSM likes to refer to as a "church."

Fred Phelps is an evil, abusive, hate-filled creep who loves the limelight and knows the MSM will cover his antics to make decent Christians look bad.

BOISE, Idaho -- A Kansas preacher and gay rights foe whose congregation is protesting military funerals around the country said he's coming to Idaho tomorrow to picket the memorial for an Idaho National Guard soldier killed in Iraq.

A flier on the Web site of Pastor Fred Phelps' Westboro Baptist Church claims God killed Cpl. Carrie French with an improvised explosive device in retaliation against the United States for a bombing at Phelps' church six years ago.

"We're coming," Phelps said yesterday.

Phelps is a nutjob and makes the rest of us who oppose the homosexual agenda look bad. I sometimes wonder if he is a plant, not the real deal. Plus he does miss the point of where God loves the sinner and hates the sin.

Phelps is not a patriot. He leaches off the blood of soldiers far better than him and his group of the infamously misguided.

I regret that he carries the name of Christian and of baptist.

While I have no problem with his right to believe what he wants about America, God, and the rightness of this or any other war, he doesn't have the right to desecrate the funeral and/or memorial service of someone else's family member.

I truly would arrest this man for shouting fire in a crowded theater if he carries out his plan to violate this (or any) family's ceremony.

I want this guys contact info to send him a short note.

His website is here .

Read it at your own risk.

To protest anyone's memorial service is beyond sick.

Fred Phelps is way past being sick.

Um....okay. I think.

I guess you are correct, you have to be deranged or know how they think in order to follow this line of reasoning.
