The Westboro Baptists, the church famous for their anti-gay and anti-military protests, will be marching at the intersection of Bragg Blvd and Knox Street Wednesday at 11 a.m.

Westboro Baptists (website: godhatesfags.com and godhatesamerica.com) frequently picket the funerals of soldiers and homosexuals. This is what they say in their schedule about the upcoming Ft. Bragg protest:

Fort Bragg Bragg Blvd. & Knox St We are here to remind you all of the fact that you KILLED u.s. army dental specialist Megan Lynn Touma. The army and other military arms are full of filthy perverts – including Cpl. Cesar Laurean (think BBQ pit; Steven Green, who raped a 14-year-old girl in Iraq and then killed her and her family, and then burned their bodies to get rid of the evidence; and Johnathan Plaisance, who was arrested just recently, stationed from CAMP LEJEUNE, for kidnapping a 13-year-old girl. They don’t do things from which heroes are made of. They are sissified, perverted, brute beasts, who will beat you bloody. We have had numerous incidences with them; they are all foul-mouthed and violent, with very few exceptions, if any. They are a microcosm of Doomed America, and they are all irreversibly headed for Hell for fighting for a nation that has gone the way of Sodom and Gomorrah: Isaiaah 3:25 Thy men shall fall by the sword, and thy mighty in the war. Jeremiah 19:7 And I will make void the counsel of Judah and Jerusalem in this place; and I will cause them to fall by the sword before their enemies, and by the hands of them that seek their lives: and their carcases will I give to be meat for the fowls of the heaven, and for the beasts of the earth. 8 And I will make this city [AMERICA] desolate, and an hissing; every one that passeth thereby shall be astonished and hiss because of all the plagues thereof. 9 And I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters, and they shall eat every one the flesh of his friend in the siege and straitness [You're going to eat your babies!], wherewith their enemies, and they that seek their lives, shall straiten them. The siege is HERE! America is Doomed! Amen!

I don’t frequent church, but I consider myself a Christian and strive to be a kind, forgiving, and non-judgmental person, as I believe that’s what Jesus’ main idea was. These people have quite a different take on things… Eh. I can’t go there without getting too angry. As the daughter of an retired Army soldier, I’ve spent a lot of time around military folk — none of whom seemed any more likely to eat their children than, say, an optometrist or an Amish farmer.

Oh, wait, Westboro has some beef with the Amish, too.

For a group so set on hating America, they certainly take full advantage of our first-class first amendment rights. And that’s what I love most about this country and the ideals on which it was founded.
