All FReepers and lurkers in good standing are urged to join the D.C. Chapter of Free Republic this Memorial Day at Arlington National Cemetery as we stand up against the Fred Phelps led Westboro Baptist Church.
Phelps and his cult will be doing their "God Hates Fags," "God Loves Dead Soldiers" schtick on Memorial Drive near the entrance to the cemetery.
We'll gather in opposition to send a positive, patriotic message of gratitude to the families of the Fallen who will be arriving at Arlington for the wreath laying and speech by President Bush that morning.
An excerpt from the press release by Westboro Baptist Church:
Thursday, May 25,2006 NEWS RELEASE Thank God for lEDs (Improvised Explosive Devices) God Himself Has Now Become America's Terrorist, Killing and Maiming American Troops in Strange Lands for Fag Sins. WBC to picket Arlington National Cemetery - at 10:15 a.m., Monday, May 29 - at Jefferson Davis Hwy. & Memorial Drive,Washington, D.C. (Virginia) - in religious protest warning: God is not mocked! Gal. 6:7. God Hates Fags! & Fag Enablers! Ergo, God hates the U.S.A. and Memorable Day idolatries.
The D.C. Chapter will arrive at 8 a.m. to get set up along Memorial Drive with the MOAB and our flags and signs. Parking at the cemetery is going to be tight, which is another reason to get there early. There is a Metro station at Arlington that is served by the Blue Line.
Please forward this announcement to those you know who would be interested in joining us Monday morning.
As always, the D.C. Chapters rules for demonstrating will be in effect. Briefly, they are: No violence, no profanity, no racism, no provocations, obey the law and treat all law enforcement officers with respect.
Note: If you are in an area of Maryland or Virginia that is far from DC, please let me know immediately and I'll remove you from this list.
This message brought to you by FREEPNORAD. If anyone wants on or off this ping list, say so here or by freepmail.
Disagree on that. As long as they are showing up at soldiers' funerals - they must be confronted. I have a local soldier who is to be buried on Tuesday. They have not yet been to my part of the country. But, I see they are close on Saturday.
Just tell the Dead Heads I saw 2-3 attorneys from the Phelps group at Walter Reed just hanging around with cameras and recorders looking for someone to sue. That is their stick.
Let me get this straight: it's okay to say "napalm these apes" obviously not being serious, but I can't joke about sniping them? Is there a code for what kind of destruction I'm allowed to wish upon these people? Give me a break.
Have these cretins managed to do anything other than be a nuisance? Has any government policy about 'fags' changed due to their protests? (I don't think so)
Pssst. You have Freepmail.
Psst. So do you. hehe
Pssst...
Thanks for the ping.
Beautiful. Thank you for all you do.

Thanks for representing the rest of us to counter these evil horribly misguided people, especially on the most important holiday of them all as far as our freedoms are concerned!
AGP have you been bitten by something? I can't believe you posted that comment. A couple of shots of bourbon will probably clear your head.
Stay well FRiend - JV's b
Phelps is acting the AZZHAT on Monday. Rolling Thunder Fires up and Rolls out on Sunday. The Rolling Thunder chapters will be headed home on Monday.
Well if you'll step back, one method is more easily implemented/acted upon than another. Your suggestion makes people very nervous as materials are readily available. Napalm and its delivery system are a little harder to come by.
Addressed does not mean do anything. WAKE UP!!!! Congress is worthless. Our government is a failure.
