While this is to be expected from Mr. Phelp's organization, this has to be the most sickening thing they have done to date.

they're continually twisted in not only their beliefs, but actions.

Question: Where does this group get the $$$ to go around the country to do these things? You know, plane travel, bus travel, petrol, hotel rooms, meals, etc. etc. IMHO a little investigative research would turn up some very interesting information.

What they fail to realize is that demonstrations and picketing are "60's" things and people either ignore them or laugh at them in this day and age.

Most people who see them take them for the kooks they are. The only people who don't see them as being ridiculous are their fellow demonstrators.

This demonstrates once again why blind belief systems must be tempered by the intellect and God-given good old common sense.

I venture to say, mr phelps is going to have a rude awakening some day. In the scheme of things, homosexuality, is just one of a long list of things that might be soul damaging, and nation destroying. Why he feels the need to focus on the one and leave out the others remains a question in my mind that I don't spend a lot of time worrying about.

I've long wondered if he's really a closet queen in complete denial. Most straight people wouldn't spend so much time and energy worrying about gays, no matter how much they didn't like the lifestyle.

Phelps is a freak.

I dont think I would mess around with West Virginia coal miners. Coal Miners are not people to toy with and screwing around with people who are already angry and grief stricken isnt a really smart thing to do.

In fact kicking the crap out of people who would mock a funeral for coal miners killed trying to earn a hard living is something I wouldnt mind being a part of myself.
That is if I were prone to that type of violence.

The group has picketed at 80 funerals since June, as many as four to five a week, according to Phelps-Roper. Most of these funerals have been for soldiers.

In my mind, there is nothing more unsensitive, base and outright cruel than protesting a funeral.

Somebody on another thread about this headcase said that they have lawyers and video people that accompany them. The start an inflammatory ruckus, get beaten up, then sue the jurisdiction for failing to protect them in exercising their First Amendment rights. If true, they get a few mil a pop.

Did Albert Arnold Gore, Jr., ever disavow the support that the Reverend Phelps gave to him over the years?

I can never tell who is more stupid, Phelps or Pat Robertson. Well ok Phelps. He doesn't have a tv show that brings in bazillions. So maybe who is seen as more stupid in the eyes of the Lord.

Sooner or later, some group of locals is going to take an ax handle and lay these Phelps scum out colder'n a block of ice. I do not advocate violence. However, it seems almost inevitable that this will happen.

Then there will be criminal charges. A West Virginia jury in Sago, for instance, will acquit on the basis of the never-argued but sometimes-applicable defense, "He had it coming." And that sequence of events would amount to justice in a rough sense.

I wonder if on that day every WV policman, sheriff/sheriff's deputy, state trooper just mught have a sudden and incapacitating case of "Blue FLU" as the UMW members warmly greet the LOONS.

Powder..Patch..Ball FIRE!

They are travelling into an unknown. Virginia coal miners are not the most PC bunch of people. They may have bitten off more than they can chew if they think they will get away from that area unscathed....
