Fred Phelps Hates Our Troops

It takes all kinds to make up a society but some of the people in it are just plain hate-filled and evil. Fred Phelps is one of those evil people who should be locked up. In the name of Christianity he spouts hatred for all gay people and has taken it to new and disgusting levels. Now he protests at U.S. troop funerals.
Fred Phelps...homophobe filled with venom.
A young man named Matthew Shepherd was brutally murdered in 1998. Phelps and his "flock" protested at his funeral proclaiming their hatred for Matthew, whom they did not personally know. They carried signs that said, "God hates fags!" Matthew Shepherd was a lovely young man who never hurt anyone. His life was cut short at 22 and Fred Phelps virtually spat on his grave and sullied his memory. Phelps has decided that George Bush loves gay people. That fact itself makes Fred certifiable. Nobody in their right mind believes that Bush likes gay folks any more than he likes the black people he allowed to drown in New Orleans.

Rancid Fred:

"God hates fags and God hates America and God is blowing these soldiers to smithereens by Iraqi IEDs and sending them home in pieces in body bags"

When you fill the army with fags and dykes and spit in the face of God, you have sown the wind, and shall reap the whirlwind (Hos. 8:7).

This is the picture that America deserves (a picture of rows of coffins draped with flags). Get used to it! You worship at the fag altar, you get boxes draped in your fag flag coming home!

Hell has room for them ALL!!!
George W. Bush has been suckered into a bloody war that God is using to punish this filthy nation, and your children are being blown to smithereens as that punishment.
....
Bloody Butcher Bush thinks that he can distract from this fact with tall tales about freedom and horror stories of terrorism that could be. It has to happen in order for America to become Babylon and the Last Days to come. Deal with it, America!! You are doomed!

You might think you can pass laws that stop us from preaching at the funerals of your Godless brats, but it isn't going to happen. The Messengers of God do not stop preaching the truth just because you pass laws. Here's a little secret. Kansas has had a funeral picketing law for years, and we still picket funerals in Kansas!!! Dying time is truth time! DEAL WITH IT!!!

He has more to say, equally disturbing and vile. Fred, not having anything useful to do with his life but spew twisted hatred, has taken it upon himself to show up and protest at military funerals. He and his followers from the Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kansas (yes, the state of Intelligent Design) show up at military funerals and proclaim the troops' deaths as ordained by God. His daughter, Shirley Roper-Phelps is a chip of the old fetid demented block.
Luckily, there are decent human beings too. Such people are the Patriot Guard Riders who now show up at military funerals by invitation of family members. They protect the families of dead soldiers from nutjobs like Fred Phelps. Their behavior is far more Christian than the revolting actions of Phelps.

Bikers roll to military funerals to oppose anti-gay protests
FORT CAMPBELL, Kentucky (AP) -- Wearing vests covered in military patches, a band of motorcyclists rolls around the country from one soldier's funeral to another, cheering respectfully to overshadow jeers from church protesters.

They call themselves the Patriot Guard Riders, and they are more than 5,000 strong, forming to counter anti-gay protests held by the Rev. Fred Phelps at military funerals.

“This is just the right thing to do. This is something America didn’t do in the ’70s,” said Kurt Mayer, the group’s national spokesman. “Whether we agree with why we’re over there, these soldiers are dying to protect our freedoms.”
...
The project’s deputy director, Heidi Beirich, said other groups have tried to counter Phelps’ message, but none has been as organized as the Patriot Guard.

“I’m not sure anybody has gone to this length to stand in solidarity,” she said. “It’s nice that these veterans and their supporters are trying to do something. I can’t imagine anything worse, your loved one is killed in Iraq and you’ve got to deal with Fred Phelps.”
