God Hates Tinker?

Lance just texted me to tell me that Fred Phelps and his evil minions are picketing outside Tinker AFB today.

So...if you're in that area...be warned.

Their "cause" is so bizzare.

It's not only bizarre, it's evil, disgusting, and hurtful to society.

Not sure why they are targeting Tinker specifically, but who knows why they do anything that they do? How can people have so much hatred?

Crap, I had this feeling I spelled Bizarre wrong - LOL, but you beat me to the edit.

Usually, they go to soldiers funerals don't they?

Yes, they do. Not sure if there are any going on in that area right now, but several units at Tinker are deployed at the moment, so it's possible that's why they're there.

If you've got the stomach for it, google for "Addicted to Hate," the story of Phelps's life, and the life he gave his children.

He's dangerously mentally ill, my unprofessional diagnoses based on that story, which is based on what people who have seen within the family (including a couple of children who got away) have said.

I don't even have the stomach to see his website. It makes me nauseous. I think Lance and I looked at it once and I had to turn away from it. Everything about these people makes me ill.

Or go march around with God Hates Shrimp signs.

No way! That's incredible! LOL

Not that you don't know this already, but Joe is love. This website, and the entire movement, is pure genius.

Thanks. I'll pass on the compliment. :D

That is a hate group mascarading as a church. I hate they even carry the "Baptist" name on their church. They are not Baptists. They are con men.

Phelps and company do the most hateful protest they can with the hopes that you will do something stupid and violate their rights. Then they rightfully sue you in court. Is it any wonder so many of them are lawyers?

The church building they took over -- where Fred was originally a Baptist pastor, then the church left, and he got to keep the building, and the name -- was a Baptist church. No actual Baptist church wants anything to do to them, as much as lots of Baptists (not all) are bigots in their own right.

I'm ashamed that they are even part of the human race, let alone that they call themselves Baptists. I want nothing in common with them whatsoever.

Can Lance try to land an airplane on them??? Idiots! They probably came out of their hole again because of all the recent deaths in Iraq.

What an apt icon for this post.

I can think of only a few better ways to test our weapons of mass destruction. ;)

P.S. And no doubt Phelps thinks that "Tinker" is some code name for something homo. You know, like "Tinkerwinker", the way you would pronounce Tinkywinky in some accents.
