During our trip to DC last weekend, we went to Arlington National Cemetery with E's cousin (D) and her girlfriend (D). This is an amazing place. But that is not what this post is about.
As we were leaving, heading back to the METRO, we passed to people holding up signs and "protesting". From a distance, we couldn't tell what the signs said, and I got a little excited. The whole time we were there I was hoping to see some protesters. As we got closer I could make out what the sign said. It said "Thank God For Dead Soldiers".
Now I must tell you that I have struggled with myself about making this post. I am not sure that I feel comfortable even putting those words on my blog.
Anyway, it was all I could do not to punch them in the face. BTW this was two teenage girls holding these signs. There were several police officers around, and I am sure they are the only thing keeping these people from getting killed.
I had seen these people on the news before, but seeing them in person brought out a rage in me that I did not know I had. After we passed them, I was telling E, D, and D that they were from that church in Kansas who protested Sego and Heath Ledgers Funeral and all these other places. They were all confused on why they would say somthing about the soldiers. I told them I did not know for sure, but it all was based on a hatred of homosexuality (remember that we are with E's Cousin and HER GIRLFRIEND). At the time I could not remember the name of the church or its founder, but I have since remembered it is the Westboro Baptist Church and the leader is Fred Phelps.
Well tonight I decided to try and find out their logic that relates dead soldiers to gays. I came across this website. There is a page where they have made video's relating to all there signs including one that says "GOD SENT THE SHOOTER" referring to the VA Tech shooting among other things.
At this point, I puked in my mouth.

I am only sharing these links so you can see for yourself how freaking warped these people are.
In my search, I also found a video of one of these Wacko's on Hannity and Colmes where she (the wacko) says there are less than 100 members of their church and about 80% of them are family members of Fred Phelps. I feel so bad for the poor kids of this family that are being brainwashed in to this shit. That has to be a form of Child Abuse.

The only redeeming factor about these idiots is that they are so effing STUPID and outrageous that nobody takes them seriously. The only people who join them in their hateapalooza are people born into it and the occasional windowlicker who decides to pick up a sign. All they do is show up and look stupid, but they're mostly harmless -- aside from just pissing us all off, they really don't have any effect. Nobody follows them. Their hatred isn't contagious. They don't dishonor the dead, because nobody takes them seriously and buys the crap they're pushing.
I am thankful that they are stupid enough that they can't even spread their homebrewed hate to the rest of the world. There are plenty who are clever enough to be more successful.
(Oddly enough, my word verification for this comment looks a lot like "suxeggz." )
Sickening. I've heard of them before and still just have to shake my head in disbelief. And I always considered myself one who doesn't shock easily. Buttholes!
I'd give a month of the Evil Twin's pay to let him alone in a closet with a few of them for a few minutes. (he's a Boone County redneck who doesn't take any shit).
Yeah, eff those peeps. They suck.
