Even for a group of people who specialize in being sick, this is pretty sick:
Westboro Baptist Church, the fringe-of-the-fringe anti-gay group famous for protesting at military funerals and claiming that God is punishing the country for its tolerance of homosexuality, was spotted this morning protesting outside Sidwell Friends, the school attended by Sasha and Malia Obama.
Protesters were carrying signs with anti-gay, anti-abortion and anti-Obama slogans, slowing down traffic all along Wisconsin Avenue this morning.
(…)
The group, which is not affiliated with the Baptist church, protests nearly every day in Washington, D.C., rotating around the city. According to their web site, today they plan to hit a few more local schools and the White House, and will be at the Sidwell Friends Lower School tomorrow afternoon.
“Quakers?! Are you frigging kidding me? You pretend to be all non-violent, and you allow the most bloody, deceitful, evil, murderous bastard and his shemale sidekick to place their satanic spawn within your four walls?” reads the posting for today’s protest at Sidwell Friends, which is a Quaker school.
This is the kind of crap that greeted students yesterday:
The students, though, had their own message:
Ellis Turner, the associate head of Sidwell, told ThinkProgress that students and faculty members wearing rainbow colors staged a counter-protest. They held a banner with the Quaker phrase, “There is that of God in everyone”
Good for them.

Proverbs says “Raise a child up in the way he should go and when he grows up he will not depart from it.”
Obviously this verse is right on the money.

If there is a just God, these people will eventually meet up with Him and find out what happens to bigots like them. Can’t you just see their faces when St. Peter tells them,”Hmmm, can’t seem to find your reservation…….Perhaps you dropped it at one of those protests….”

If God is my enemy, why should I ever bother with him at all, other than to fight against him?
Why a bunch of morons.
