A Disgusting, Awful Display of Idiocy

Breitbart.com is reporting a news story today about a group of hecklers who harassed the families of US soldiers killed in Iraq. I clicked on it expecting to find some liberal group calling them "baby-killers" and the usual that one comes to hear about when they read such a title as Hecklers harass families of US soldiers killed in Iraq.

Was I wrong! Apparently the group doing the heckling is a bunch of Baptists from Kansas, enough said! Their justification is even more lunacy than their act.

For them, it was the perfect way to spread God's word: America was being punished for tolerating homosexuality.

Wow, okay let's digress and read further. Apparently this group is a very famous group for acts like this.

The Westboro Baptist Church first gained national notoriety when they picked the funeral of Matthew Shepard, a Wyoming student who was murdered in 1998 for being gay.

They have since picketed the funerals of Frank Sinatra and Bill Clinton's mother, celebrated the terrorist attacks of September 11 as an act of God's wrath, and have even targeted Santa Claus and the Ku Klux Klan.

Now we have it all.

The display by these Baptists loon-bags is nothing more than a pure example of pure idiocy. I have always held myself as an agnostic and I have no problem with people believing in God or not believing in God, that is their own perogative. I do have problems when people try to push that belief upon others in ways that are completely inappropriate. This is definitely one of them.

These Baptists, who probably think the rising of the sun in the east is God's will and not the way the Earth rotates along its axis, are going to a point far excessive and far inappropriate. This funeral, for a slain soldier should not be met with such disgusting events as it has. To make such an assumption as his death is the wrath of God for America's tolerance of homosexuality is completely absurd. I am not fan of homosexuality but come on, think a little. To digress to the theist side of the argument of God/no-God, God gave people a brain making humans the intelligent species of the planet. USE IT!

Soldiers are what has given this country the freedoms its people so blatantly take for granted. Soldiers have made it so that people in other countries can be free. Soldiers have sacrificed themselves in lands 1,000s of miles away from home, only to come back and be spat on and treated horribly. This is disgusting.

To go further, on a personal note and level, apparently, according to them, 9/11 was God's wrath too. People like this, who call themselves Americans, are the reason why I call myself a New Yorker. God, if you are out there, save this country by smitting the idiot loons like this. It is tough to continue writing and keeping calm, as personally, I would love to see all of these people repeatedly run over by a Mack truck but, I will, for now, keep emotions down and publish as such...
