This came out a few weeks ago, but it is well worth pointing out again.

This woman is evil.

Having women raped, then recruiting them as suicide bombers so as to redeem their honour.

Humanity’s capacity for evil can really bring one down.

What is it with conservatives?  Are they so desperate to maintain the illusion they are relevent that they will break the 9th commandment willy-nilly?

In my opinion normal people are flexible, especially when raising kids.

Especially when they are young and still learning the ways of the world.  If a child doesn’t act the way the parents expect, they are shown or told what is wrong.

Then there are the cultists who denied a 1 year old child water and food because he didn’t say “Amen” after a meal.

The child died after two days.  Then these people kept the body in a back room for over a week waiting for the child to be resurected.  When this didn’t happen the body was stuffed into a suitcase.  When the group relocated to New York City the suitcase was left behind in Philadelphia.

When things like this happen I wonder just what is going through these people’s brains?  These people believe that placating their idea of a sky ghost to be more important than a childs life. 

How many groups like these are there out there?

The Westboro Baptist Church cultists showed their true colours and their true faces today.

Yellow Cowards.

These oh so brave cultists threatened to picket Tim McLean’s funeral on Saturday. This young man was the victim of a brual and senseless murder last week. These cultists

wanted to let the world know their believe their petty deity let this happens because it is mad at Canada because of our “filthy ways”.

One contingent was stopped at the border. Another got through.

But when a counter protest was planned, these “brave” people never showed up. Ms. Phelps-Roper claimed that (From Winnipeg Freee press http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/breakingnews/story/4210468p-4802837c.html)

“A couple hundred people, are you kidding me? That’s child play, usually we see 1,000 people out there,” she said. “God can do things that you wouldn’t imagine, the last thing I am worried about are some brutes Canada. We will know what to do when the hour comes.”

250 people turned up outside the funeral to counter-protest these cultists. Apparently their deity had better things to do on Saturday.

Also, her claim that “it appears there is no religious freedom in Canada.” is BS. We have plenty Freedom of religion here. But the citizens of Winnipeg decided that a families’ right to mourn their son was more important that a cult’s self-rightousness. The WBC’s right to picket does not mean they can picket unopposed, as seems to be Ms. Phelps-Ropers mis-apprehension.

Westboro Church, famous for proclaiming “God hates fags” at funerals is coming to Winnipeg on Saturday to repeat their schtick at the funaeral of Tim McLean.

Said a spokesperson of these “people”:

“God hates you, and it’s because of your rebellion against his word that this child is dead.”

7 membes of this Church will be in Winnipeg on Saturday.

Today’s events on a Eastbound Greyhound here in Manitoba are horrific.  I really don’t need to say much more that that about them.

What I do find interesting are the reactions.  While reading the Cnn web site I clicked on the link blogs mentioning the story and came across on labelled “Barking moonbat early warning system”. 

This blog was mostly cuts-and-pastes from the wires describing the attack.  Not much there.  But then, at the end, he has a short paragraph ending with “you know what my question is, and you have already reached the same conclusion I have.  Let’s see if we’re wrong for once. “

Well, what’s his question?  From what I see, I’ll make a few inferences.  Just the name of the blog tells me this is a wingnut…one of those who bray loudly about how Liberals are ruining Western Civilization, but are strangly quiet when a Conservative shoots up a church.

As well, On of his commenter states “It would really surprise me if the suspect were not a Muslim. “  It seems to me that this happened before…In Oklahoma city.  When the Murrah Building was destroyed the presumed suspect was supposedly middle eastern.  It seems Wingnuts are happy to heap blame on whoever they are afraid of.

So, I imagine the question this nutter asked was “is this was a mooslim performing a jihadi attack on some innocent westerner?” 

More rational people people will mourn the loss of an innocent life and wonder how we can avoid it in the future..without resorting to wingnutter paranoia.

Ed Brayton of the Dispatches from the Culture Wars blog picked up an interesting happening from the American Family Association web site.  Apparently the AFA has a macro that looks for the word “gay” in news articles and replaces it with the word “homosexual”.  However, in this case it was a sports report about a sprinter named Tyson Gay.

One can imagine what the report looked like after the macro was done.

Actually, one will have to imagine, as the AFA has fixed up said article, removing their “enhancements“.  To have a sense of what it was, go here.  Or just click here.
