American Hater and Troop Hater Fred Phelps and his demon inbred family will be protesting at Arlington Cemetery this Sunday.

The DC Chapter has amended its Saturday Permit to include Sunday. We will be there 30 minutes before they arrive till after they leave.

DATE: Sunday, March 21
TIME: 10:30AM till 12:15PM
LOCATION: Memorial Drive opposite the Arlington Cemetery metro station (Blue Line)

The DC Chapter will bring the MOAB, flags and signs supporting out military.

Hopefully those who are coming from out-of-town for Saturday's Support the Troops Rally can delay the ride home for a few hours.

Phelps will be protesting through out the DC area this weekend and into next week.

South Carolina will also be hit hard next week.

>"There are a lot of black veterans in DC. Maybe they can show Phelps the Projects."

I agree. Maybe they could all get together and go out for cocktails later.

Excuse me Phelps, Do you mind if we dance wif yo women?

And when are the media ever going to notice that Phelps not only isn' t Baptist, he doesn't even call himself Christian?

What does Fred Phelps actually believe? It is, somehow, even weirder than you expected:

...In fact, it appears that Westboro has created not just an incredibly vulgar and non-Christlike approach to homosexuality, but that it's working on a new religion altogether, complete with new scriptures.

Members of WBC generally avoid the name "Christian" when referring to themselves, preferring the mysterious term "Tachmonite." This apparently refers to a servant of King David's, but I'm not sure of the derivation or the intention.

The Tachmonites believe Phelps is "the last prophet," with the power to determine who will be damned and who will be saved. They themselves, as followers of Phelps, also have the power to condemn souls to hell. Most people are destined for hell, but "Good Samaritans" who help the Tachmonites (for example, police officers who prevent counter-protesters from assaulting them) may be offered an indeterminate "reward" for their good conduct. Apparently "sola fide" is not part of the Tachmonites' creed.

The new scriptures consist of the group's own writings, which are divided into two categories: "delectable epics" and "letters to heretics."

The "delectable epics" (the term is the group's) are based loosely on Acts in the New Testament. The epics detail the Tachmonites' various protests against gays, President Bush, Elton John concerts, and the military and portray the Tachmonites alternately as invincible "super heroes" and defenseless victims of brutal rage. Some of the epics are in prose, and some in poetry.

Thanks for the info. I’ll have to use it on my AAR. Things went well. A lot of FReepers were at the Tea Party trying to save the Country but we held now the fort. We were reinforced by a dozen or so Old Guard soldiers from Arlington.
