Maggots Return

The only problem with being civilized is that we’re not allowed to beat the living crap out of maggots like Phelps or pop a cap in their ass and be done with it. Back in the “good ol’ days” if Phelps and his crew showed up at a soldier’s funeral, a bunch of good ol’ boys would be waiting with tar and feathers. Isn’t it a shame we have to endure these pests in the name of Freedom Of Speech?

If our politicians are so smart, why can’t they draw up a law to make asshats like the Phelps family STFU and go away? Nowadays people get so righteous and offended over the slightest little thing. Why must we all be subjected to this insanity from Phelps & Co.? Accidents happen every day. Why can’t one happen to them? I’m just sayin’ ....

Westboro Church Protesters Show Up at Soldier’s Funeral in Maryland
_{(FOX NEWS) - Monday, February 19, 2007}

Four strangers from the Topeka, Kan., Westboro Baptist Church joined the family, friends and fellow Marines who flocked to Oak Grove Baptist Church Friday to mourn Marine Cpl. Jennifer Marie Parcell, 20, killed the week before by a suicide bomber while serving at a military checkpoint in Anbar province, Iraq.

The strangers were from a nationally known protest group that deplores homosexuality — Fred Phelps, Jr., his wife, Betty Phelps, his sister, Abigail Phelps, and fellow church member Lauren Drain — and they carried signs bearing mottoes like “Thank God for Dead Soldiers,” “You will eat your children,” and “Soldiers Die, God Laughs.”

The protesters gave ample notice that they were coming and were “very organized. We never had any problems with them at all,” said Lt. John Krass of the Harford County Sheriff’s Office. The group has disrupted soldiers’ funerals before, and notice of their possible attendance brought out the Patriot Guard Riders, a group of veterans, soldiers and civilians who often ride flag-bearing motorcycles accompanying funeral processions of soldiers killed in combat to shield the family from unwanted attention. The Guard Riders created a human shield at Oak Grove Baptist Church’s entrances so that the Parcell family could come and go.

Friday Fred Phelps Jr. carried signs saying “America is Doomed,” “Fags Doom-nation,” and his wife carried one that read, “God Hates Fag Enablers.” “The U.S. military is a fag-nation,” Abigail Phelps said by phone following the funeral service. “When you go and sign up to serve in a military for a nation that says it’s OK to be gay, you are serving, by the nature of it, you are in blatant defiance of God. You have declared War on God . . . I don’t see how that’s a hard connection to make. . . .All it would take is a few people to say ‘We refuse.’”

America’s soldiers and children are dying, Phelps said, because of a U.S. tolerance of homosexuality and other behaviors she sees as immoral. “They say God bless America. They acknowledge that God has the power to bless a nation. He also has the power to curse a nation.” Asked why she had flown from Kansas to Maryland to protest at Parcell’s funeral, Phelps said: “You know, there was a lot of media about that girl. And you know, the parents touted the fact that she was a gift, not a sacrifice . . . Those parents sent that child out to die. They sacrificed that child for a country that has turned its back on God, kicked God in the shin.”

Abigail Phelps said that the protesters plan another event at 10 a.m. Saturday in Cambridge outside the funeral of Jerome Robinson, 8, and Aaron Robinson, 12, who drowned in a pond Sunday after falling through ice.

The Guard Riders were indifferent to the protesters, they said. “They’re insignificant,” said Russell Burks, a Harford County Patriot Guard Ride Captain and chaplain, about the protesters. “We don’t pay any attention to them. It’s mind over matter. We don’t mind. So they don’t matter. We don’t argue with them. We don’t talk to them. This young lady perished to give them the right to do what they’re doing.”

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
