I'm angered...

Have you heard about this group called the "Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka, KS"? They are the farthest thing from a church I can think of right now. They are scheduled to come here to protest our monthly memorial service for fallen soldiers. (Their permit is in the process of being revoked and the state Legislature is passing a law that you can't protest at funerals or memorial services.) They are not protesting the war they are gay bashers and are saying that God is killing our soldiers because the US government does not condemn gay marriage. It's terrible. You should check out their website. It really makes you angry! It makes me angry! They go to funerals and protest, not just of fallen soldiers but others as well. Can you imagine, you spouse dying, you and your children are going to their funeral and you see signs that say things like ... Well I can't post it because it's so awful but go check out their site. Children of the fallen would see this!! It's just terrible. I'm not really violent but I have to say that even I would love beat the ---- out of them!

Okay, nuff said on that. Oh, I won't post a link to their site because it is so hateful but just do a Google search and they come up first. NOW, nuff said...

I'm fine other than being angry about that. I've had a cold and I sound like a frog has crawled down my throat and died but... Homeschooling is going pretty good too. I'll post more about it later. DH is doing well too. He's ready come home of course but his moral is up some for a change and I'm glad. Well, cyber friends, I have much to do and I'm sure it won't get done but it will have a better chance if I get off here so until next time...

  5. I'm from Topeka, KS and just happened to come across this..I have no idea where you are from. These people are a terrible group, more of a cult, and I hate it that they are picketing funerals all over. You can find them everyday in Topeka picketing all sorts of things with TERRIBLE signs. It's absolutely unreal and I have no idea how they get away with it!!

  6. I'm near a military installation. They were at a funeral near here last summer. It's truly terrible. They are a horrible group.
