FIRST OF ALL: Whoever doesn’t know about the WBC, please take a few minutes to YouTube them and see the kind of crap they try to pull off.
They showed up to little Winchester, KY this past week, to attend the funeral of a fallen hero who was being reurned to his hometown.
As many of you may know, my father Mike Sexton rides faithfully with the Patriot Guard Riders, to missions across the country. This one was the closest to home for my experience. Luckily enough, the turnout of people protecting this funeral site was enough to make them leave withut demonstrating. Apparently they were followed for a while the night before by several vehicles, including police patrols, and had some very “useful” conversation in the local Wal-Mart with some former military members that ensured their presence at the following day’s ceremonies. That, and the fact that they would have been completely blocked from view and their idiotic chanting muddled completely by the motorcycles’ exhaust notes… it would’ve been useless for them to try.
Here’s a copy of the flyer they spread trying to organize this protest. And to think this young man died protecting the RIGHT they have to do these terrilbe things.
For those who don’t know, WBC is a “church” organization that preaches God’sHATRED of the USA, saying that ALL soldiers die because God is against everything USA stands for, such as accepting Gays, Jews, and Muslims as citizens of our country. They show up to funerals chanting and singing very crude and offensive tunes directed at the families of fallen troops. They say things such as “your son died and is going to hell ecause God hates you” and “he deserved to die because you condone what your country is doing”… These people are real whack-jobs! Thank God for the PGR and similar groups ta protect families of our fallen heroes, that they don’t have to go through that type of thing at a FUNERAL, of all places!
Spread the word, and keep WBC away from our fallen soldiers.
I’m a pretty damned tolerant person…but I’d like to find out if there’s a jury in the country that would convict me for assaulting one particular family…for that matter is there a prosecutor in the country that would try?
These people are straight up shitbags. Read the wikipedia page on the WBC or 'ole Fred to get a real taste of who these people are, truly disgusting human beings.
That flyer is straight BS as well. They hide behind the man saying that denying them their 1st amendment rights would mean he died in vain, but then basically call him a sodomite and thank God for IED’s. WTF!?
I agree with you SeriousStudent, these people are one of the very few things that make me go far beyond angry.
Will do. But they don’t do it for the “thanks”, it’s about “Standing for those who stood for Us”. I’m sure they appreciate the support, but it’s not for glory at all, simply respecting the fallen heroes.
It completely blows my mind how stupid some “people” get about anti-war stuff… this is another example of an extreme group looking for publicity mostly.
I checked out their site http://www.godhatesfags.com and was disgusted at what I found. They have anti-military and anti USA songs on there for download! It’s ridiculous!
my blood is boiling and my hands are shaking after reading this
Why do you picket soldiers’ funerals?
First of all, read this transcript from Scarborough Country and this transcript from Hannity And Colmes that explain why.
Secondly, here are some axiomatic matters of fact:
These turkeys are not heroes. They are lazy, incompetent idiots looking for jobs because they’re not qualified for honest work.
They were raised on a steady diet of fag propaganda in the home, on TV, in church, in school, in mass media - everywhere - the two-pronged lie: 1) It’s OK to be gay; and, 2) Anyone saying otherwise, like WBC, is a hatemonger who must be vilified, demonized, marginalized into silence.
Therefore, with full knowledge of what they were doing, they voluntarily joined a fag-infested army to fight for a fag-run country now utterly and finally forsaken by God who Himself is fighting against that country.
They turned America
Over to fags;
They’re coming home
In body bags.
America used an IED to bomb Westboro Baptist Church on August 20,1995 - an act of terror aimed at terrorizing us into discontinuing our nationwide Gospel preaching against the homosexual menace.
When America thus became WBC’s terrorist, God became America’s Terrorist.
Therefore the IED is God’s weapon of choice in avenging Westboro Baptist Church by blowing America’s kids to smithereens in Iraq. And the carnage has barely begun.
Thus, their funerals are the forum of choice for delivering WBC’s message of choice.
these people are satan’s servants. his aim is for you to dirty your soul with hatred and rage toward them.
best thing you can do is send a one-time silent prayer that somebody will IED their church on sunday morning, and then just ignore them like any other rotting corpses you pass by on life’s road.
I only listened to some of heir “Patriotic Songs” and after the military parodies, became so mad I couldn’t even talk straight trying to explain it to my wife.
It honestly hurts my heart to think that soldiers’ families have to go through crap like this after their son/daughter has DIED fighting for this stupid group’s freedoms!
I’m planning on getting a petition together to at least get the National Baptist Church Assoc. to force them to remove “Baptist Church” from their groups name. It looks terrible on ALL christians nationwide, as they see this as a church group teaching nothing but hatred and threats of Hell with no salvation available to Americans.
I only wish I could become more involved in trying to rid the world of their stupid ideas and threatening sermons.
These people are as bad as it gets. My dad has always talked about the Patriot Guard rides he goes on near Philly and didnt realize (read never looked up) what they were until a year or two ago. It is great to see tons of people showing up in support of the fallen soldiers.
Dad recently went on a ride involving several HUNDRED bikes, spanning several states, to move the recovered remains of a soldier home after many many years of being held “unidentified”, basically in wait for someone to discover his identity. I think it’s awesome what the Patriot Guard stands for and what they represent. He also mentions a “Task Force Omega” group that participate quite a bit in their ceremonies.
Dad (a Ride Captain) and many members of our local PGR have been working with the US Army on a local project, and it is finally drawing near complete. Wll, complete is a difficult term, but it’s being finalized, I guess. It’s a “Memoial Garden” in place on the Bluegrass Army Depot, (in Richmond, KY) where the PGR has teamed up with Lowe’s to plant a tree with a stone memorial plaque at the base of it for EACH and EVERY fallen KY soldier who has given their life in the line of duty in the War on Terror. It is meant to serve as a “Living reminder” to everyone just how much this war has really impacted our hometown, and a living memorial that can be visited to pay homage and respects for our fallen heroes.
I wish every state had a similar program that showed their respects for their local military heroes. It’s really an awesome thing to drive through there and see all of that land, perfectly manicured grass, with trees placed perfectly uniform across the field in rows. It really made me appreciate what these people have done for me and my family, to know that my son can sleep at night and wake up free in the morning.
Thank you to all Vets, current serving, and anyone affiliated with our Armed Forces. I know that my freedom isn’t free, and wish that more people understood that. A lot of people seem to take that for granted thesedays, assuming they just “deserve” it.
So, thanks guys and gals, for your faithful service. It does not go unappreciated in my home.
What these people are doing isn’t religion…it’s a scam. They do the most inflammatory things imaginable in the hopes that someone will violate their “rights”, so then they can file a lawsuit and get money.
If they were really the “christian version of the Taliban” they’d be killing people, and then we’d have plenty of just cause to wipe their existence off the planet. However, since they are not planting explosives in schools for girls, showing up in small towns and killing anyone who opposes them, or using violence to undermine the governments of sovereign nations it seems a bit silly to compare what is at best a mild annoyance to the taliban.
Those devils are the false prophets mentioned in the book of Matthew 7:15–23 from the Sermon on the Mount:
"Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thorn bushes, or figs from thistles? Likewise every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.
They will reap what they sow. It kills me when I hear Baptist in their name. I was raised Baptist, and no Baptist that I know preaches such despicable things. Just when we need: “And shepherds we shall be, for thee my Lord for thee…”
