Bikers to the Rescue

what great people..... though it seems a waste to only rev their engines at the fundie nuts....i'd suggest getting them sighted between the handlebars...and then letting rip.....:) :) :)
 
That's great!

Phelps and followers are a disgrace. I'm sure they feel they are Noble representatives of a loving God though.

Wonder what would happen if we got an ATF agent to deliver some Kool Aid to them?
 
We joined because of Fred Phelps, but now the whole focus is off Fred Phelps," says California state coordinator Cheryl Egan. "It's more about the troop who just gave his or her life."

Exactly as it ought to be.

My stepfather used to tell a joke that fits people like Phelps to a T:

"What's the height of conceit?"

"I don't know, what is the height of conceit?"

"The height of conceit is a flea floating on his back down the Mississippi River shouting 'Draw the bridge!'"
 
Hey, respect is respect, it doesn't have to be in the form of a suit and tie.
 
I joined this motorcycle group, not because I'm some conservative, militaristic type (quite the opposite -- I'm a flaming liberal atheist), but because I was appauled by what this Phelps group was doing at any funeral - military or otherwise. The Phelps group got their first national media attention by protesting at Mathew Shepherd's funeral. They apparently believe that God hates America because we "embrace" homosexuality.

We do not in anyway engage members of this wacko group because they make all their money off of lawsuits. Most of their members are lawyers and would love the chance to sue anyone who raises a hand towards them. Much as most of us would love to "reason" with them, we don't because it would just be playing into their hands. Laws have been passed in several states making it illegal to protest at funerals and now the ACLU has gotten into the act by declaring those laws unconstitutional and going to court to have them overturned.

No family member deserves to have some freak group screaming idiocies at them during the funeral of a loved one.

Dear Guy,

Actually, if you study their writings, it's fairly clear that they feel they are noble representatives of a quite hateful God. They are engaged in an existential response to the profound horror of such a belief - God as the ultimate monster in the sky who must be propitiated at all costs.

In light of that, protesting at funerals as they do is an act of love on their part.

I am glad to be the first, in this thread anyway, to welcome The Mutha to this forum.

I also express me extreme gratitude to The Mutha and others like him or her for the way in which they honor our fallen fighting men and women. :D
 
If someone were to find an internal communication for this group, that stated their intent to provoke people into violence suitable for lawsuits, would there be anything illegal about that?
