Conservative Christians Support Our Troops
I simply have no words, except to wonder how the freeps reconcile this in their tiny little minds. (Sorry if it's a dupe.)


Phelps' Group Protests At Soldier's Funeral

(snip)
"The first sin was being a part of this military. If this young man had a clue and any fear of God, he would have run, and not walked, from this military," said protester Shirley Phelps-Roper. "Who would serve a nation that is godless and has flipped off, defiantly defied, defiantly flipped off, the Lord their God?"

One protester had an American flag tied to his belt that draped to the ground. He was holding a sign that read, "Thank God For IEDs," which are explosive devices used by insurgents to blow up military convoys.

Protesters said America has ignored the word of God, and those who defend the nation must pay a price.

2. the effects of long-term brain-washing are most obvious
in the family Phelps. I wonder if that constitutes child abuse?

3. The Phelpsters are not the Freeps that we know and love: The
Westboro Baptist Church is in a league unto itself; they genuinely hate America (and say so), and have plenty of wacked-out reasons why.

4. Too fucking repulsive for words...

5. Do I have this straight?
Edited on Thu Aug-11-05 12:02 PM by JHB
They think that because abortion is legal (on edit: or because we tolerate "fags" (thanks ET Awful)), the country has defied God, so defending the country is a sin and any servicemen who die in the line of duty are getting what they desrve? Is that their line of (and I use the term wet-noodle-grade loosely) "reasoning"?

7. Actually I've never heard them say anything about abortion, they hate
America because, in their words, we're all "fag enablers".

They have a major hate on for anyone who doesn't do it in the missionary position with a member of the opposite sex.

6. Let's all note for the record...
...that its these RW protesters who are anti-troops, vile of manner, and cheering on those who attack our troops.

Everything we get accused of, but don't actually do. Just another illustration of how the RW projects on us.

10. Who says Phelps is RW?
Fundy, yes, but I understand he is registered Democrat, and that gives the RW fundies an out.

8. The Phelps family are terminally twisted
So far around the bend, they can see the backs of their own heads, so twisted they could swallow knitting needles and cough up corkscrews...so nasty no dog will roll in them and skunks leave their presence gagging.

11. I tell you one of these mourners
are going to kick this guy's ass one day. You should not mess with people going through grief, they can rip your head off. I would not convict someone for putting Phelps down like the dog he is...

12. That is exactly what he wants....
Not only is he a whacko fundy, but his clan has a lot of sue-happy lawyers. I understand that is a major sourse of their income.
