Can’t we all just get along?
Or at least, can’t people like this keep their mouths shut and stop giving the rest of us Christians a bad name? (though I’m loathe to call them that; Christians are supposed to love, they’re supposed to loooooove!)

Intellectually, I understand this. But really, though many among us were raised by people whose opinions we’ve outgrown, how many of us were raised in such a way that escaping those opinions was just this side of impossible?
I’m not saying that we need to make an exception to the abuse laws in this case. I’m just saying that it’s sickening and heartbreaking that those poor kids have so much stacked against them and will, in all likelihood, never be able to break free of it.

I agree; generally, in order to outgrow your parents’ beliefs, you have to leave the nest sometime. The Phelps Clan has these poor kids chained to the nest with their eyes pried open, Ludovico style.

Oh, I wouldn’t put any money on that.
This has to be the most thorough and complete self-parody I’ve ever seen in my life… I almost grudgingly respect it. There’s nothing left to satirize. Matt Stone and Trey Parker can only scratch their heads— these loons have immunized themselves against ridicule by being more ridiculous than anyone else can make them.

Pretty much what I was thinking as I watched it – that is the most completely unwitting totally serious self-parody I’ve ever seen.
And now for something completely different

I’ve always had my suspicions about that dodgy looking Kenny Loggins.
“Footloose” indeed.

If anybody is missing some exclamation points, click on that and you’ll find them.
God I hope Warner sues crap out of them. That’s exactly what they need- an expensive lawsuit from a media giant with enough lawyers already on the payroll to overrun Pottawatomie, and probably some already licensed in Kansas.
PS- It’s over 5 minutes along, but Sheriff Hits Shirley Phelps Roper is also a video worth watching.
And while I’m not a big fan of Michael Moore, his Sodomobile was an inspired moment. (I actually felt the singing chubby Phelps in that one could probably be redeemed if separated from the pack- she seems absolutely starved for attention and notice.)

Don’t worry, jjimm. You still have credibility with me.

That is overly generous of you in the circumstance. But thanks.

Hmmm. Well, my position is somewhat flexible. Gotta be open to persuasion.

Because they hate everyone. It’s not like there’s anywhere in the world that’s safe from God’s wrath. And like I said, they don’t hate America because of anything in particular America has done, they hate America to keep the cult isolated from other fag-hating but America-loving fundamentalist nutjobs.

Holy cow, Phelps is a star trek fan…who woulda guessed
Sounds like what Phelps expects when the end comes.
