Two crazy guys!

So, it's 2AM and I must be lonely...wait, I'm an hour early. So, I should be writing a paper for class, but I decided to take a break.

So there are these two guys, the first is Fred Phelps. Some of you may know of Phelps as the proprieter of the website www.godhatesfags.com. Well, he's at it again. This time, he and his fellow rabble rousers are picketing the funerals of Katrina victims and the victims of the mine accidents in West Virginia proclaiming that god has caused these tragedies because of our godless ways (AKA homosexuality and the condoning homsexuality). He's really sick in the head. The worst thing is that his entire family, which also happens to be his parrish, is made up of lawyers. They all know their first amendment rights, and will do anything they can to evade the legislatures and courts that will try to prevent them from picketing funerals. It sickens me. Oh yeah, and he's picketing the funeral of Corretta Scott King. Your guess is as good as mine why he picked that one!

So the second crazy guy I wanted to write about is the Attorney General of Kansas. He's way out in right field too. Apparently he's tried to pass several laws in Kansas in order to gain access to abortion records, and has failed each time. If you have any time at all, read this article. The author does more justice in telling the story than I could. The gist of it is basically that this guy's latest scheme is a law that requires any health/socialwork/psychology professional to report if a minor has engaged in "sexual activity." Apparently this law is so vague that it has been construed as requiring a nurse to report to authorities if a 15 year-old has been making out with her 16-year-old boyfriend. Apparently both could be guilty of a crime if this happens. Read the article.

This guy reminds me of the math teacher in seventh grade who railed on me and my boyfriend at the time for me giving him a peck on the lips before going off to class. I mean it was a peck, no tongue, no open mouth, very brief. And she screamed at us for ten minutes in the hallway in front of everyone.

And if the Phelps' think they are any sort of righteous, and if anyone else thinks they are, think of this: they do this for money. They don't do this for morality or to save the world, or even out of hatred (although there's plenty of that in there). They are the lawyer that gets up on the barstool and tells the guys in the bar that their town sucks, and then gets beaten up, then sues them all for assault and says that they were trying to interfere with his first amendment rights to boot.

If God (assuming He exists) should be smiting anyone, it's these fucks. Because not only do they do evil but they accuse Him of doing evil and they do their evil in His name, and for a profit. Jesus would vomit in disgust.
