I just love Westboro Church. Got an idea.....
Posted: Mar 12, 2011
Since it's freedom of speech for them to protest, let's take the union protestors, since they like to protest so much, and send them to WBC and let them protest for as many days and weeks they did in WI. (I"m kidding, of course). Do you think if a group protested outside their church, standing 1000 feet away from them, that it would be considered freedom of speech?
This makes my blood boil. Read with disgust:

[ In Reply To ..]Now, I don't know if this tactic has been done near the side show performances they put on at the military funerals (I don't even know if it would be appropriate), but at other demonstrations at colleges, etc., instead of traditional sign-waving and screaming counter-demonstrations, people have been putting up a fund raising booth where they collect donations and send them to a group that WBC spews their hate toward... in WBC's name! I love it!
As far as the military funerals go, I really wish the media would stop covering WBC's protests. That's the attention they're looking for. If no media or counter-protests showed up, hence no one to "spread the message to," I think they would slowly stop. They LOVE the media coverage. People should refuse to even drive down the street when they're protesting... just ignore them.
Perhaps if people DID start - protesting
[ In Reply To ..]every Sunday while they are in church and annoy the crap out of them, they might (though I doubt it) realize how rude they are.

Westboro Church WinsMar 02, 2011
It was an 8-1 vote - I think Justice Scali was the lone dissenter, but I'm not 100% sure. I salute groups like The Patriot Guard Riders who protect the families of these fallen heros. From CNN: A Kansas church that attracted nationwide attention for its angry, anti-gay protests at the funerals of U.S. military members has won its appeal at the Supreme Court, an issue testing the competing constitutional limits of free speech and privacy.

Thank heavens most of the media did not cover this. They are vile, ignorant people. It's bad enough they protest soldiers funerals, but now they were protesting Elizabeth Edwards death!

Tea Party Republicans Love Love Love Ted CruzOct 18, 2013
even among Republicans, according to a survey from Pew Research. But the group is still potent within the Republican Party — which means that Sen. Ted Cruz gets a bit of good news on an otherwise bleak day. "Tea Party" is a necessarily vague affiliation. There are members of Tea Party groups, of course, but Pew largely had to allow poll respondents to self identify. And a lot of Republicans did so. About four-in-ten (41%) Republicans and Republican leaners agree with the Tea Pa ...

I Gave Up Going To ChurchMay 31, 2013
I used to be an avid church-goer. Catholic, back when you went into a confessional to confess what you felt was a sin. Then one day, the priest (in all his glory) during a mass said, "I forgive you all for whatever you have done." That really got my goat. You didn't even have to feel bad about whatever it was you did, you were just now automatically forgiven, in one big swoop. I knew people in that church that were horrible to their children and spouses. So, I just knew that they went to c ...
Separation Of Church And State....Apr 27, 2015
I agree that the government should stay away from religion - therefore, it follows that the government should not be able to tell me how to practice my religion - if my faith follows the teachings of the Bible, then I should not have to pay for abortions since I believe that to be murder. It should allow me to refuse to photograph a gay couple - since that goes against my beliefs. The government has no problem with me giving money to the poor, helping out with relief in Haiti, ...

HHS Bankrolled Catholic And Baptist ChurchJul 13, 2014
A month or two ago news broke that Obama’s HHS was calling for private contractors to help transport illegal aliens throughout the interior United States. What made this already big news even bigger is the fact that the original call for proposals came out in January, long before the bulk of the illegal alien surge began. The breaking news you’re about to read is ten times bigger, because the following proves the Obama administration was bankrolling America’s churches back in 2010. And ...

I've Been Missing My Sunday Morning Service At Church Because IMay 31, 2011
