How dare they...

This would be one time that if I were president or govenor I would order the National Guard to keep someone at bay:
"Those Amish people, everyone is sitting around talking about those poor little girls — blah, blah, blah — they brought the wrath upon themselves," Phelps-Roper said, adding that the Amish "don't serve God, they serve themselves."

I'm not generally a big fan of mandatory confinement combined with massive daily injections of Thorazine, but if these folks keep talking I might have to rethink that position.

lex,
be patient, their time will come and justice will be meted out by the only ONE who has the right to do so.

Wow, these church folks are really on the luny fringe. There are enough losse canons around without such ill-advised actions in a tragic circumstance. Leave the grieving parents and families alone. God isn't within a million mile radious of such nonsense!

But I guess this is just what the blog master ordered, always showcasing the very worst examples of ultra right wing religious groups, while never showing the tawdry left wing weirdos. But it is an election year for the N & R.

I can hardly wait to see Nikos' blog for a contant stream of such stories.

In the meantime, I learned this morning that Phelps and his gang of Old Testament thugs has magnanimously cancelled their protest -- in exchange for an hour of free radio time.

I'm reminded of the Germans cancelling the performance of "Idomineo" in anticipation of Muslim nastiness. No matter what you do, these jerks are able to keep their hatred front-and-center.

ALl one has to do is spend a little time on the "progressive" and lefty sites to observe the raw hatred there for anything traditional, conservative, patriotic or biblical. There is absolutely no shortage of hatred on the left-wing humanist fringe.

Everytime I spend a little time on these sites I am vividly reminded of my days as a part of some of such groups in the late 60s and early 70s. The Marxist, anti-American rhetoric is little changed.

There will always be a basket in which to place extreme elements on the bell curve of both religious and political thought. I cringe when church groups like this one do their nutcase thing in the public eye. There are much more reasoned and civil ways to debate differences in philosophy and faith. Their's is not one of them.

Phelps is pathetically religious and the power of God is an obvious void in his life as written of those in his state. He totally lacks BEING a Witness for God though he tries in vain TO witness. His "blah blah blah" reference to children dying as apart of wrath demonstrates his ignorance to the script of "children are a inheritance of the Lord" as well as a lack of the love and compassion of God flowing out of him --I know him not.
Truly sad these type of people get center stage as "God's people" when clearly (despite of fault that every creature has) he is not.
