For nearly all of her twenty-seven years, Meganbelieved it:believed what her grandfather Fred Phelps preached from the pulpit; believed what her dad Brent and her mom Shirley taught duringthe familys daily Biblestudies; believed (mostly) what it said on those signs that have made Westboro disproportionately influential in American lifeGod hates fags; God hates your idols; God hates America.
Megan was the one who pioneered the use of social media at Westboro, becoming the first in her family togo onTwitter.

this "unscaling" of the eyes always amazes me when it happens...

Just saying.
But the best thing anyone can do is ignore the Phelps clan. They only want attention and for someone to trample their rights to be a$$hats so they can file a lawsuit.
She is still nuts, she moved to Brooklyn!
She’ll continue to vote Democrat (note the feminist spin in the article). Thanks ExxonPatrolUs.
