BALTIMORE -- The father of a Marine killed in Iraq took the stand in his invasion of privacy suit against a fundamentalist church that pickets soldiers' funerals, saying protesters carrying signs at his son's burial made him sick to his stomach.

"Church members said they are motivated by the fear of God and their need to warn America about its moral decay, rather than a desire to hurt anyone." Most of the "church goers" of Westboro are Phelps' own family and many of them are lawyers. That's Phelps' whole angle, money.
Phelps is a disbarred lawyer who angles for first amendment lawsuits by those who rob his flock of their freedom of speech or assault charges against those who take it a step beyond. They are far from fundamentalists, they are leftists to boot, Phelps is a former supporter of Algore. Their goal is to discredit Christians and to make a nice profit to boot.

In what way are these clown creeps “fundamentalists”? Is that assumption made because they refer to homosexuals as “fags”? Is the media that shallow?
Never mind. My question answers itself.

I had the “pleasure” of seeing his “church” while in Topeka 2 weeks ago. We drove past it on the way to my military retirement dinner. It is a plain building surrounded by a high fence. Prominent is the flagpole with the Canadian flag on top, and an upside-down US flag beneath it. A large banner on the building proudly advertises their website - godhatesamerica.com.
The very definition of whack jobs.
Hear that Fred??? I called you and your ilk whack jobs. Go ahead and come out here and protest me. I’ll personally kick your scrawny a$$ all the way back to Kansas...not that Kansas wants you back.

I would like to counter protest theses wack jobs with a sign that reads: God Loves You. But Everybody Else Thinks Youre an A$$ Hole!
Some people think that WBC is some sort of liberal anti-Christian group that doesnt really believe what they say but is just trying to make Christians look bad by parodying them in an extreme fashion to actually support homosexuals.
I disagree. That would be like saying the KKK and Skinheads actually love Black, Catholic and Jewish people because they make racists groups look bad.
I think these people really believe their own hate filled sputum. I think they are truly mentally deranged.
WBC also hates and has protested in general against or at the funerals of; Catholics, Jews, Princess Madeleine of Sweden, the Sago Mine disaster victims, Billy Graham, Senator John Kerry, Broadway musical productions, Fred Rogers, Coretta Scott King, the Virginia Tech. shooting victims, the Amish, Frank Sinatra, and just about everyone else in the world that they perceive doesnt believe the same as their own little semi-incestuous group of fellow psychopaths.
They may have given money to Algore in 88-89 but wouldnt read too much into that since theyve since had a falling out.

When invited to the 1997 inaugural, the Phelps clan came to Washington, but this time to demonstrate against the Clinton-Gore administration for betraying them. The Phelps family would also demonstrate at the funeral of Gores father in 1998.
At one time they thought that Gore was of the same mind and after all politics makes strange bedfellows they now are urging Fred Thompson to speak up for them believing he was once their friend.

The best way for Christians and true Conservatives to combat them and squash the left and the media from lumping WBC in with us, is to strongly and loudly speak out against them and call them for what they are; WBC is certainly not Christian, is not Liberal or Conservative; Left Wing or Right Wing, they are a dangerous and deranged cult of hate that subverts the Bible and Christianity and the First Amendment to promote their vile hatred for everyone!

I think this is a violation of federal law...
The USC is very specific about the public display of the colors... Sorry I don't a have the citation of Title...
Hmmmmm....
Wonder if a letter from the US Attorney might get their attention??
Naaaaa-aaah.... they wouldn't figure it out...
JMHO

I hear that if you engage in the Solitary Vice while looking at pictures of WBC women, you go blind.
