That's a sad shame. I don't know if I'll ever get used to seeing the faces of young American girls killed in war. It just doesn't seem right.
He is a lunatic! He sounds like a good companion to Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and Barry Lynn who also call themselves "pastors".

Fred Phelps (born November 13, 1929) is the controversial leader of the Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kansas, United States, which is notorious for its web sites godhatesfags.com and godhatesamerica.com. Gay rights activists, as well both mainstream and fundamentalist Christians, have denounced him as a producer of anti-gay propaganda and violence-inspiring hate speech. The church is located in the basement of his home, which is the center of a block-wide fenced compound, the other houses in which are occupied by nine of his thirteen children.
Ya think? Here's another warning from Fred.
When WBC [Westboro Baptist Church] members did in fact actually burn the Canadian flag in religious protest to Canada's approval of same-sex marriage, the so-called Christians of Canada were the loudest in denouncing WBC and "widely reviling" her Gospel message.
There is no hope for Canada. God hates Canada!
It would be my great pleasure to give him some attention.
Kansas Preacher Announces Plans To Protest Idaho Soldier's Funeral

(BOISE - AP) -
The Kansas preacher who tried to erect an anti-gay monument in a Boise city park says he's coming to Idaho this week to picket the funeral of a fallen soldier.
Fred Phelps of the Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kansas, says God killed Idaho National Guard Corporal Carrie French with an improvised explosive device. Phelps says God is retaliating against America for a bombing of his church six years ago.
French was a 19-year-old Caldwell High School graduate and varsity cheerleader. She was killed June 5 in Iraq's northern city of Kirkuk by an improvised explosive device.
French served as an ammunition specialist with the 116th Brigade Combat Team's 145th Support Battalion.
Phelps says there is no reason he is targeting French specifically. He says his church will protest any public funeral of soldiers killed in Iraq.
Caldwell Police Chief Bob Sobba said he can't bar Phelps from going to the public funeral. It's scheduled for Wednesday afternoon at the Albertson College of Idaho.
Here's another one in Anna, Illinois

I just wonder how long it will be before he accidentally finds an explosive device??
The only reason he is still alive today is because most folks subscribe to the theory that "most folks that need killin ain't worth the time you would have to do for killin 'em".
I'd be in line to throw in for their bail and defense.

Although i agree with Phelps premise, that a nation in moral decline will be punished by the creator. I in no way support picketing a funeral of a fallen soldier. Way over the line Fred. There are better ways to get your message across.
