I just caught a story on WFAA-TV News about the Westboro loons coming to Dallas on Sunday June 5, 2011 from 6:15 PM to 7:00 PM. The site of their event is the American Airlines Center, timed to occur just prior to Game 3 of the NBA Finals between the Miami Heat and the Dallas Mavericks.
Their claim is:
WBC will picket the NBA game between the Dallas Mavericks and the Miami Heat to warn this nation that they need to tear down their idols and worship only the true God, Jesus Christ. The people of Doomed america [sic] set up these spoiled, rebellious basketball players and other celebrities as little gods that they emulate then curse the real God, Jesus Christ because He does not supprt [sic] their vile sins.
Like the ancient Israelites, this nation has turned their collective back on the the Lord their God and refused to obey. The prefer to worship their powerless idols and pay false prophets to lie to them. They would rather live like these filthy celebrities by fornicating, divorcing & remarrying, and supporting fag-filth than to hear about God's standards - to the peril of their never-dying souls. Nevertheless, WBC will kindly warn them to flee the wrath to come by repenting and obeying. Doomed americans [sic] cannot continue to live for the devil then expect to get to heaven. Hell and damnation awaits these idolatrous fools.
LOL! Now I can’t get that parody out of my head...thx.
The Westboro church is comprised of a family of democrat/liberal lawyers who make money suing those who object to their protestations. Only democrats could get away with what they do.
Korah, Dathan, Abiram, WBC. May they one day all have the same thing in common.
Well stated, SB, and exactly right. That stupid dance in front of the Mavs was like giving the finger. In post game interviews of Mavs they downplayed it, but having played competitive sports myself I know that it riled them up.
Like you, if I see the Cowboys lose early in the playoffs then I want to see the team that beat them go on to win it all. .......Just wasn’t your year for the Lakers.
Citizens usually VOTE to approve bonds to help finance large sports facilities in their communities. The benefits of such operations do not only enrich the team owners.
The AA Center in Dallas, where the Mavericks and Stars play, has brought in millions of dollars to the city. Rangers Stadium in Arlington and Lone Star Park (horse racing) in Grand Prairie have also brought in millions. I believe the taxpayer approved bonds have probably been repaid from the revenues.
Cowboys Stadium was funded by Jerry Jones and Arlington only funded road improvements, etc. The facility is the site of numerous events other than Cowboy games and a large number of restaurants, hotels, etc., have built in the area. Arlington taxpayers have benefited from all of the additional tax revenue.
woo hoo. Two great moments indeed. !!!
I don't care at this point, dry heat, humid heat. Both suck! I need to move to the Arctic Circle :)
