The whole nation has a filthy manner of life

Fred Phelps and the Westboro Baptist Church are heading to Ottawa to burn our flag in protest against gay marriages.

Exceprts from the Ottawa Citizen, Friday, 4 July 2003:

**“The whole nation has a filthy manner of life,” Shirley Phelps-Roper, the attorney and daughter of the pastor, Fred Phelps, told the Citizen yesterday from Kansas.

Ms. Phelps called Canada’s police corrupt, but said her group will abide by all laws.

“We don’t expect to reform the devil. We are the messengers of the Lord, your god,” Ms. Phelps said.

In 1999, the church gained national attention for burning a Canadian flag in front of the Supreme Court of Canada, to protest a Supreme Court ruling that the definition of common-law marriage must include same-sex couples.

However, protesters needed advice from police on how to set the flag ablaze and their leader, Fred Phelps, failed to show up.

That’s what you get for helping someone burn your flag. They come back to do it again.

Phelps and his family do more to help the gay cause than any amount of reasoned discourse.
