The thing that pisses me off here is: where were these lawmakers when WBC was picketing Matthew Sheperd's funeral? They will protect families who lost loved ones for the Great Cause but not families who lost loved ones because of hatred. How sad for our country. Fred Phelps may be scary but his homophobia is much easier to take than say, Rep. Musgrave's. I would much rather have people who hate me be screaming on the street corners like idiots than quietly walking the halls of Congress.

Also please check out Fred Phelps' website it is an absolute hoot! I love people who take an absolute completely literal interpretation of the bible. Except for the polygamy part. And the slavery part. And the part about Jesus' generation being the last. And the part about women being the property of their husbands. And the part about eating pork condemns you to hell. I bet there is more than one pork chop in Freddy's past. They love all the parts of the bible except those that don't seem to suit their needs. Seems a bit opportunistic don't you think?
