Time For a Good Ass Kicking
February 06, 2008 · Filed under: Thoughts.
The Westboro Baptist Church is a hate group masquerading as a Christian church. Led by the Rev. Fred Phelps, the misguided members of this church target homosexuals and a range of others with messages of hate. [...] The time has come to turn the tables. Let us all gather in one place, at one time to (peacefully) show Phelps and his church that freedom of speech works both ways.—Million Fag March
This isn’t a “gay event” for all the gays to congregate and picket—this is for everyone. You bet your sweet ass if I had the money I’d fly over to Kansas and join these brave people.
This isn’t the first time I’ve heard about the WBC. I found their hate site (one of many, actually) about two years ago and I was so shocked. And then shock turned into anger. And then anger turned into hate. I can honestly say, without a doubt in my mind, that I hate these people.
I can’t stand the way they manipulate the law to fulfill their goals. I can’t stand the way they get interviewed on the news and attempt to defend their hate and make others understand. I understand alright. I understand very well that this church is a church of hate, a church that picks out bible verses to stand behind, but ignores all of the others. I understand they don’t practice any core christian beliefs. They’re too busy hating and bashing.
It’s obvious these people are brainwashed, and I wouldn’t care as much if it wasn’t for the fact they go out of their way to preach their beliefs in the worst places. Abortion clinics and funerals for our fallen soldiers, funerals in general, gay parades, the Amish… I could go on. These places are not places to picket your “beliefs”. But there is good news. A distraught father of a soldier stood up to these bastards, took them to court using the very law they stand behind, and won. The WBC had to finally pay up.
It’s not over, however. I hope to see lots of people at this rally, fighting against the WBC and all that they stand for. I hope we get as much, if not more, press coverage than the WBC does so that more people pay attention. Even though I can’t physically make it to the rally, I’ll be there in spirit, fighting alongside for what’s right. And we should all do the same.
