True I have posted within the last 5 hours but something that was relatively disturbing has been brought to my attention and thought I would make an award show out of it.
Welcome Ladies and Gentlemen to part one of the Terrible People Awards. Today we are honoring the Westboro Baptist Church! Now, for an atheist as myself to actually be offended by something a religious group does, it has to be high on the scale. Before I get into it, I would like to make it clear that thought I have no faith in religion, I do respect and honor those who do chose to follow and worship, no matter what or who that may be.
With a beautifully titled web page, www.godhatesfags.com, the Westboro Baptist Church, to be here on referred to as WBC, tops their URL with a header ingeniously stating "Welcome, depraved sons and daughters of Adam" above a picture of someone standing on an American flag.
Commentary: I was not born in this country. However I have spent over 95% of my life here and love and cherish my nation and all that it has given me to this point. No one has any right to disrespect a nation that gives you the freedom to have the URL godhatesfag.com, and still be allowed to remain a church.
Moving on.
Adorning the page are pictures of people holding signs with such catch phrases as "God Hates Fags", "God is America's Terror", "You're going to hell" and a child holding a sign stating "God hates the U.S.A".
Commentary: Being a Jackass is genetic isn't it?
Caring on my wayward son.
Their latest blog is entitled "Bitch Burgers + Obama Fries + Slut Shakes = Stem Cell Supper For Doomed america". And at the very top of the blog in question is a link to www.priestsrapeboys.com. Besides blogs, you can view the WBC's picketing schedule. Notably, a Britney Spears concert is right on the top and it follows through picketing high schools and pretty much anywhere where there are people to throw rocks at them. Accompanying the schedule are other time passers such as press releases, audio clips, pictures and much much more.
Commentary: What is a bitch burger? Is it what getting shot at for annoying the wrong person tastes like? But yes being a jackass is indeed genetic...and hopefully in the case of WBC, sterility.
So, what can be done about America's third most entertaining group? (The first two are Scientologists and Republicans)Unfortunately due to that binding rule in the Constitution, we can only hope that this group of ignorant, and once again hopefully sterile group of hate mongers either realizes the error of their ways, dies out, or is involved in an unfortunate tractor trailer accident on the way to their annual god hates fall foliage getaway to Maine.
I do encourage anyone who reads this, which is most likely no one since I have a lurking feeling I'm doing this blog more to entertain myself than for the entertainment of others, to find a way to fight a potentially disastrous occurrence in the near future because the sad truth about this world is that when civilians disagree, they tend to kill each other.
Below are some pictures gifted to me from a contact, known today as Oprah, up at George Mason University up in Fairfax, Virginia where WBC happened to have a protest and all the rest of the pictures are from WBC's website.
I applaud George Mason's protesting of the protesters and encourage people everywhere else to follow suite in an equally peaceful way as demonstrated by the Patriots of GMU. Find their plans here at http://pride.gmu.edu/phelps.php as well as more information about yesterdays protest on facebook at http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/event.php?eid=56936904561&ref=mf
If you can't be kind at least be civil.
Cheers
Way to go Patriots
And.....yeah these guys
