The passage you offer actually supports the idea that God uses disasters (regardless of who the victims might be) as a sign to induce repentance when people (in general) aren't taking him seriously. I can't speak for anyone else, but that's all I'm saying. (And God does deal with nations.)

All of us in Joplin have plenty on our plates at the moment the last thing we will be concerned with is a few westboro folks. We already have a counter protest in the works “which will be peaceful to the most extent possible” most everyone in this area has lost family members and everything no telling what will happen if people show up spitting our faces. So far four thousand locals will be along the memorial route to show support for Joplin and the president.
