The Amish and the WBC Nuts!
The nation was stunned and shocked this week by the brutal slaying of a group of young girls in a small Amish community in Pennsylvania. There is no doubt in my mind that their murderer was a nutcase, and the news reports back this up with revelations from the notes that Charles Carl Roberts IV left behind.
Now, from a FoxNews article, a sickening twist:
The Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka, Kan., planned to boycott funerals for the victims Thursday and Friday. The church claims on its Web site that the shooting spree was carried out by a "mad man" in retribution for Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell's "blasphemous sins against WBC." The site says Rendell "slandered and mocked and ridiculed and condemned Westboro Baptist Church on national Fox TV" and that he "revealed a conspiracy to employ the State's police powers to destroy WBC in order to silence WBC's Gospel message."That's right, the same nutcases that have been protesting at the funerals of fallen American heroes in the War on Terror, have found a new forum for spreading their venom.
Fortunately, the local community has stated that they will take a stand to block any protests at the funerals of these young Amish girls.
It is regrettable that we live in an age where zealots such as the members of the Westboro Baptist Church will use any tragedy that receives national attention as a forum for spreading their poisonous message and promote their agenda of hate and intolerance.
Fortunately, in a follow-up piece, the WBC nut jobs have announced a decision NOT to carry out the planned protests. Regardless of their motivations, they are still a bunch of nuts:
"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."
As you can see, these people are real Nutcases!
