I've said before that while I proclaim myself to be a Christian, I, in no way, support Christian Fundamentalism. For most of America--even those who see themselves as Christians--just flat out don't know that there is a difference. Let's name a few. Fundamentalist believe the planet Earth is only 6000 years old and that God put dinosaur bones here, underground, just to confuse us and keep us guessing. Basically, they take the Bible--a book that has been written by man, translated and re-translated over and over again--to its literal meaning.
"So what does this have to do with 'Using God to Spread Hate'?" Nothing really, I just wanted to clear that up before I started with my main point.
Many people have heard of a man named Fred Phelps. Mr. Phelps is a preacher at Westboro Baptist Church (I think it's in Kansas). Instead of using his pulpit as a soapbox to preach the love and generosity of God, he using it to preach his message of hate.
Mr. Phelps was one of the first preachers to go public with his message that "God hates Fags." And the fact that he preaches it in his church isn't what bothers me. What bothers me is that instead of just teaching those that want to listen, he and his followers take the hateful spit to picket not just occasions like the Gay Pride parade. He and his followers take their message of hate to the funerals of AIDS victims. So while the family of the deceased is morning and watching their loved one be buried due to his life choices, this hateful, self named preacher and his disciples of filth are chanting and screaming from a distance slogans like "Burn in Hell, Fag" and "Is it hot enough for you?"
If that isn't bad enough, they show the same spectacle at the funerals of our fallen from the Iraq War. "What?" You better believe it. Mr. Phelps and his followers believe that this war is God's way of punishing this country for its shameful acts of allowing homosexuals to live and operate in our borders. So every soldier's death is a sign from God saying "Stop being gay." Can you find a more selfish, agenda driven man this Mr. Phelps?
For anyone that has read the bible, you know that the only thing Jesus ever taught while he was here on Earth was love. He never showed an ounce of hate towards anyone, even while he was being hung on the cross. How this man can justify God's hate for fags is beyond me, but I do know one thing, this man is a snake. It's people like this trash spewing, Godless preacher that give all good, loving Christians a bad name. To be associated with someone like him makes me want to drop religion all together. It is just plain sick.
Here is a video of Mr. Phelps himself on youtube. I have decided not to post the video because once is enough for me. But here is the link -- Here! Caution, it might make you angry, I know it did for me.

Hillary Clinton has got to be the biggest hypocrite and opportunist to ever come about in Washington DC--and that's saying something. Need proof? Happy to help.
Original audio from TMZ.com
If you haven't heard it yet, Alec Baldwin--one of the biggest anti-Bush and environmental supporters in Hollywood--left a 2 minute, threatening voice mail on his daughters sell phone. Supposedly, everyday around 11:00, Alec's daughter is supposed to be sitting by her phone waiting for her daddies phone call, so they can talk about whatever celebrities talk about. Apparently, Alec's daughter missed a couple of phone calls, and Mr. Alec Baldwin just won't stand for that. How dare she stand up Alec Baldwin? Pathetic!
Our culture is celebrity driven. There are thousands of magazines, websites, and TV stations dedicated to the spreading of their filth. Journalists like Diane Sawyer and Barbra Walters have made their careers off interviewing celebrities--which include quires about their views on masturbation. Seventy percent of America gets their news from Entertainment Tonight. America is more worried about who's Anne Nicole's baby's daddy, than what is actually happened with the war in Iraq--which it might surprise you to know, the only way most people find out what is happening there is from a celebrity's mouth.
Is it any wonder that other countries find our culture to be stupid? You don't even have to look at our kids standardized tests scores--which are among the lowest in the world--to figure that one out.
According to the Democratic parties agenda:
"The Democratic Party believes that it is our responsibility to protect America's extraordinary natural resources. The health of our families and the strength of our economy depend on our stewardship of the environment.We reject the false choice between a healthy economy and a healthy environment. Farming, fishing, tourism, and other industries require a healthy environment. New technologies that protect the environment will create new high-paying jobs. A cleaner environment means a stronger economy."
On the surface this sounds like an incredibly noble statement, if your an uneducated boob that knows nothing about the economy or the environment. The two of those principles, economic concern and environmental concern, do not go hand in hand in the eyes of any hardcore environmentalist.
Environmentalism is one movement that, if you were to track it from the day it started to now, has shifted it's views from the actual certain for the environment to an all out assault on the economy. No matter what the economy does, its never good enough for the environmental movement.
Take the current banning of using plastic bags in grocery stores in the grand ole city of San Fransisco. Plastic bags were put into use in order to save the trees. Now, San Fransisco has banned the use of plastic bags because plastic bags are made from petroleum, and burning petroleum hurts the environment.
Environmentalism hurts the economy. Period.
Now don't look at me and think I just don't care about the future of our planet. I care, but there is nothing wrong with our environment. Our water and food are cleaner and healthier than in was in the past thanks to plants and factories. We have more forestation in the USA than it had when Columbus first came here, because we have 300+ million people to house here. Loggers plant 2 trees for every one they cut down.
Global warming IS NOT HAPPENING! It's based on faulty science. You'd be hard pressed to find an climatologist or scientist (who is not on the democratic payroll) who agrees with this theory.
So not only are the Democrats and Liberals aiding our enemies by refusing to fund our troops and giving them a date when we will be gone, they support an environmental agenda that has no science to back it up and will bring down our economy in the process. Gee, what a bunch of great Americans!
I believe myself that the secretary of state, secretary of defense and — you have to make your own decisions as to what the president knows — (know) this war is lost and the surge is not accomplishing anything as indicated by the extreme violence in Iraq yesterday
Senator Harry Reid
There you go straight from the horse's mouth. The Democrats in congress believe the war is a lost cause.
Now in any war, there are always two forces. Since this is the War on Terror, sparked from the events of Sept. 11, 2001 in case you forgot, liberals sure as hell have, the enemy is the terrorists organizations of Islamic Fascism. The Democrats have admitted that they want the terrorists to win.
"Oh come on! They don't want terrorists to win!" Oh really?
Democrats have been in office since January '07. Name for me how many bills they have pushed through to the president. One! One bill that not only gave the money the troops needed for their continued fight, but also a pull out date and the biggest tax increase in American history to cover the expenses of the pork barrel spending they needed to buy the votes just to get it to the presidents desk. After a warning from the president that he would never sign a bill that would specify a pull out date, they pushed it anyway, and the president stayed true to his word. He vetoed it.
In the midst of all this political struggle, our troops are in a foreign country starving for the funds they need to fight this war. It's the Democrat's play. The president is waiting on a bill that will give the money to our troops, and they have yet to sit down and come up with one. The Democrats are, through a slide of hand, defunding our troops. They are leaving them in Iraq without the funds they need. Why?
trai·tor![]()
(trā'tər) Pronunciation Key
n. One who betrays one's country, a cause, or a trust, especially one who commits treason.
Democrats are Traitors. They are embolding our enemy by saying we have lost and by trying to give them a date of when we will leave Iraq and Israel defenseless, and holding our troops back by defunding them. THEY ARE TRAITORS!
Current events have to start somewhere. So I guess I'll just start it here.
In the recent days a tragedy has befallen the Virginia Tech campus, and unless you have been living under a rock, I'm sure you know about it. A deeply disturbed student masterminded and killed 32 students on 4/16/07.
The act itself has many stories in of itself, but the one part I want to talk about right now is NBC's recent reception of a package from the killer. Inside this package were photos, video and audio tapes from the disturbed student telling his story and giving a confession/suicide note for why he did what he did.
Upon receiving this package (which had the killer's name as the return address on the envelope), did NBC decide to call the police and turn the evidence over to them? Of course they did, but not before opening the package and making copies of all the material. To make matters worse, they didn't see an opportunity to help out the police in the investigation of these murders, they saw an opportunity for themselves.
Probably within minutes of receiving the information, this stuff was all over the air. Video was this mad man spitting his unjustified hatred for the rich and their debauchery. NBC has helped this sick, sick individual seal his fame.
I find this very cynical for several reasons. Let's start with the fact that NBC (a liberal media outlet) has used this tragedy to promote their gun-control agenda, stating, of course, that if guns were illegal, none of this would have happened. Stepping away from the current issue, at the end of most mass murders, there are usually those to try to mock the murderer by reenacting his murders. These are known as copy-cat killers. NBC has just set the ground for any copy cat killers that might come about. If any decides to copy this killer, they only need to turn on the news (its being played everywhere), and when that happens, those murders can not be blamed on the guns that committed the crime (blaming the weapon? Ridiculous isn't it?). NBC will be the culprit.
Let's not forget the fact if Foxs News (a conservative news network) would have been the lucky (or unlucky, depends on how you look at it) news station to get their hands on the package, NBC and MSNBC would have been at the front to condemn them for showing and distributing this trash. Hypocritical maybe? You'll find that a lot with liberals.
The best thing about all this is the victims are not taking this lightly. They have canceled interviews with NBC for the showing of this sick bastards tapes on the air. NBC has apologized atrocity, but don't be taken about. They did it to cover themselves, not because they care.
