JUSTICE!!!
MWAHAHAHA! Those funeral protestors just ATE IT! Check out the full story at: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,307058,00.htmlOkay, so the people who protested the funeral of the Marine killed in combat while serving his country in Iraq were being sued by the young man’s father. The jury reached the verdict today that the church owed the man’s family 11 MILLION dollars in damages.
Foxnews.com said: In his closing arguments during the punitive
damages phase, plaintiff attorney Craig Trebilcock described church
members as bullies who “seek out those among us who are at the weakest
point in our lives. That’s why they’ve gotten
away with it until this point,” the attorney said, adding that grieving
families were too weak to fight back “until this man.”
That got me really excited. All too often in this country, justice is not only blind, she’s also deaf and dumb. It kills me to think that these people are so convinced they’re doing the Lord’s work. Why in the world can’t they put all that good energy to helping the poor or clothing the naked? Why can’t they do the works of the Bible? I don’t remember any verses about defiling the dead. In fact, I *do* recall a verse in Old Testament that says to pray for the dead. I *don’t* recall ANY verses saying “God hates fags”. I *do* recall Jesus dining with sinners and telling them how much He loved them and wanted them to repent and come to Him of their own free will.Here’s the craziest part:
The defense said it planned to appeal and one of
the church’s leaders, Shirley Phelps-Roper, said the members would
continue their pickets of military funerals. Church founder Fred Phelps held a sign reading
“God is your enemy,” while his daughter Shirley Phelps-Roper stood on
an American flag while carrying a sign that read “God hates fag
enablers.” Members of the group sang “God Hates America,”‘ to the tune
of “God Bless America.”
Oh dear Lord. If anyone is headed up to Maryland anytime soon, I’ll head up there with you. Somebody needs to protect the military families at their children’s funerals.
Still no baby and all that jazz. Nine days till the actual due date. Update on Friday of the Baby Dr. appointment.

yeah, i had heard that this morning. those nut jobs were ranting that the government, all the gays, and other evils were against them. then they saw the court officers walking around and took off. i guess they didn’t want to have to pay another fine for loitering (wow i spelled tht right all on my own!!). anyaways, i figured that would cheer you up. not many “churches” can pay that much everytime they protest something. since it was an orginzation with members, they’ll have to get the money together themselves.
