The Manhattan Declaration: Hypocrites United
The Manhattan Declaration is all about hypocrisy - on a vain and boastful scale. It purports to be a manifesto of what ALL true Christians should be doing: beating the crap out of liberals, hating their guts and opposing any idea they ever come up with (bad or good!), but doing this out of - love!

The Manhattan Declaration: The Christian Right Declares Global Warfare, Giving Africa The Gift Of ...Fear
(2 comments) Warren is still nowhere to be seen in regards to criminalizing homosexuality in Africa. However, his imprint is on the Manhattan Declaration - the signed document that purports to speak for all of Christianity with all of its mind-numbing messages of hypocrisy.

Will James David Manning Be Tried As A Martyr ... Or As An Idiot?
(3 comments) Are fraudulent ministers just plain stupid? Maybe so. James David Manning, "Ph.D" has been operating ATLAH Ministries Worldwide and calling for the death of the President. His last video was so threatening that Homeland Security paid him a visit on November 16th. He fully expects to be carted away any day now for his reasonless rantings. We hope he is. Pray for the members of his congregation.

The Bestseller That Isn't: Going Rogue Hits Bestsellerdom With A Wimper!
(2 comments) What constitutes a bestseller these days? The number of copies sold is still the criteria, but there is something else, or rather, there are things which don't "pal around with" good writing. Notoriety of the author or subject sells. Even negative publicity sells. In the case of Sarah Palin's Going Rogue, however, booksellers' intuition might go into play: Amazon has discounted this $28.99 book to...$9.00!

Islamophobia: An Irrational Rage Among People Who Can Barely Spell Islamophobia
(3 comments) Is Islamophobia in the air? Hell, no, it's in the streets! From preachers using their pulpits to denigrate anyone who is a Muslim, to their results (violence), being Muslim has become the "sinner du jour." We will continue to be bombarded with ranting, irrational sermons and illiterate picket signs. But when will it stop? After a large amount of people are killed.

When Violent People Come Out Of The Woodwork
(1 comments) This year has been one big series of hatefest after hatefest, with one of the biggest and most unruly of all coming up: Rally For Religious Freedom, proving that absolutely no one can top the Christian Right when it comes to hate.

Pastor Gary Cass: Let's Get Together For A Good Ole Christian Hatefest!
(1 comments) Pastor Gary Cass loves putting together hatefests. And his most ambitious event yet is having ministers gather in front of the Department of Justice to scream out verses freom the Bible to see if they will be arrested for ahte crimes

Pray For Carrie Prejean!
The darling of the Christofascist set, Miss Carrie Prejean has fallen from grace again and may not be "Still Standing" after tomorrow. The real villain of this saga, however, is the Christian Right who trained her, coddled her, lionized her and made her fame dependent on their own terms.

Challenge To Birther, Obama Hater And Alleged "Reverend" James David Manning: Show Us YOUR Documents!
(2 comments) "Rev." James David Manning may be today's best example of the accuser becoming the accused. Manning is a darling of the "birther movement" and has trashed President Obama and his family with epithets so heinous that even Sean Hannity decried them as "not acceptable." Investigating Manning and his ATLAH Ministries International, however, could result in more fraud and larceny than anything he could hurl at Obama.

Heal Hitler!
(1 comments) So will your right wingnut church start sending bills to Medicare on your behalf for all that "healing" its prayers did? Doubtful, but nonetheless possible. A tiny phrase in the the healthcare reform bill prohibiting discrimination against "religious and spiritual healthcare" puts Christian Science "prayer treatments" on par with other medical expenses. What will Benny Hinn charge?

That Was The Week That Was: A Warren Uganda Guam Palin Bennny Kind Of Week
WOW! What a week for executing gays, for putting money into the Vatican's coffers, for...chewing Guam! Who ever thought we'd see a week encompass: Rick Warren's tacit response to intentional gay genocide in Uganda, the pope's money grab from lost Anglicans, Guam's archbishop agreeing with the annihilation of gays in Islamic countries and Sarah Palin's formation of a new PAC and her polar-bear-phobia. What a week

Kimberly Daniels: The Ghost Behind Robertson's Rant About Demonic Halloween Candy!
(3 comments) Pat Robertson is now contracting out his stupidity: he has "guest" writers declare all the things he believes, but knows that the public won't stand for more idiocies from him. His newest clone is Kimberly Daniels. She was responsible for stating that Halloween candy was cursed by witches and demons. Scary, yes, but not as scary as Kimberly Daniels. Not by a long shot.

Genocide Looming In Uganda! Whither Warren?
The time to uncover Rick Warren is NOW! If he truly "loves" gay people ("I have many gay friends" "I know gay leaders") he will use his influence to stop genocide of gays in Uganda. But you KNOW he won't. He's throwing money and medical supplies at Uganda while they're throwing "saved souls" and the bodies of gays and lesbians at him. And he has only two words for everyone: "abstinence only."

Truly Scary, Part I: Halloween Hell House
- Via Child Abuse, Sarah Palin, ObamaCare And Religious Intolerance. Hell Houses. Halloween. Morality. Hellfire and Brimstone. The Devil. Evil, evil SEX. Abortions. Homosexuality. Fear. Hell Houses across the nation now consider themselves an art form. But no art form would ever try to damage kids' brains. Some people consider them a form of child abuse. They may be right.

Truly Scary, Part IV: When Christofascists Turn On Themselves
(11 comments) When Christofascists start to claw at each other, the results are hysterical! A Book Burning? Such an awful thing is changed into a farce by one pastor in bib overhalls right out of Snuffy Smith.

Out With The Old...In With The Absurd
(5 comments) Conservapedia, that lame answer to "Godless" wikipedia has launched one of the most ludicrous attempts at promoting today's conservative ideologies: it is RE-WRITING THE BIBLE! Under the auspices of Scott Schlafly (son of Phyllis... made, not begotten), The Conservative Bible Project will go down in history as the nail in the coffin of conservative intelligence.

Townhall.com and the Militia Movement: The Guns Are Free, But Are The Bullets?
(1 comments) The "Millionaire Patriot" has struck publicity gold again! His complaint that Premiere Radio Network won't run his ad because it gives away guns has been making the rounds. The real question: Why does Townhall.com promote his programs in such a stealthy fashion? Inquiring minds want to know!

Obama: Lost With Chicago, Won With Oslo
The right wing pundits will be screaming, crying, gnashing their teeth or simply vomiting verbal abuse on the President. He won the Nobel Peace Prize. They will also be speculating on "conspiracy theories", proffer allegations of political bribery, or belittle the prize and its committee. The circus is in town, but I'm not interested.

Why I Am Allergic To Glenn Beck
(5 comments) I don't really hate Glenn Beck, it's just that I'm allergic to him. Actually, I'm allergic to stupidity. So, how many Americans are afflicted with this allergy?

The Rift Of Rifqa Bary! Or Is It Elian Gonzales? Or Terry Schiavo? Or Carrie Prejean?
Mainlining celebrities, or more accurately, cause celebres, is what Christofascists seem to do best. They inhale them! From Hurricane Katrina to Elian Gonzales to Carrie Prejean, the Christian Right will grab on to anything to help them plug their self-righteousness. Now Fathima Rifqa Bary is their new "Eshter" or maybe even Joan of Arc.

Going After Christofascist Clowns: Frank Schaeffer and The Scariest Video EVER!
(1 comments) In a recent poll in South Carolina, 8% of "social conservatives" believed that Barack Obama is the Anti-Christ. And 13% said they were not sure. When it comes to the President, health care, the war in Afganistan, same-sex marriage and abortion who is sane? Who is insane?

Sorry, Beck and Savage, San Francisco Prefers More Imperial Clowns
San Francisco has always loved and embraced its eccentrics. And the most eccentric of all was it's own Emperor Norton I (Emperor of the United States and Protector of Mexico). He had class (he once printed a proclamation that anyone saying the "abominable word 'Frisco' would be fined $25). Unfortunately, two media clowns named Savage and Beck, have absolutely no class. Because San Francisco can't tolerate intolerance.

Getting Serious About Stupidity: Another September Clown, Carrie Prejean and the FRC
Will the Christian Right (embodied in self-righteous institutions such as Family Research Council) ever monitor itself? No. It will trot out clown after clown each September to hammer at it's message of righteousness without caring that the people they are using are, well...clowns. This year's Values Voter Summit will feature Miss Carrie Prejean. Our deep apologies to Miss Prejean for this piece.

The Clowns Of September: Bachmann, Boykin, Schlafly, Beck....and MORE!!
Ah, the month of September. A time of frenetic activity for school kids and folks preparing for the holidays. And a frantic time for the clowns of Washington. This article will give you a glimpse at what lies ahead for circus neocons: parties! awards! fear-mongering seminars! Speeches from the likes of the venerable orator Stephen Baldwin and the not-quite-dead Phyllis Schlafly! (Also: a SPECIAL "warm-up" video!)

If Fetuses Could Vote, Who'd Win?
(2 comments) Pro Choice Or Pro birth? The most important factor in the abortion wars is one who has no choice in the matter: the fetus. “Of course the fetus would be pro-choice.” But what if the fetus knew about the sea of hypocrisy he or she would be born into?

The Dirtier The Pulpits, The Dirtier The Politics
(4 comments) The fighting from the right is getting dirtier and pulpits are seminal: the furies of hell are being called upon to rid us of liberal politicians and even the President.

Get FRC's Health Care Townhall Kit! (Obnoxious Idiot and Gun Not Included)
Won't you be glad when Congress convenes and we return to normalcy? (OK, a modicum of civility!) Townhall meetings in America have shown us that even our Christian churches can give harbor to inane antics and almost violent outbursts of unfounded vitriol. Family Research Council has recently gotten into the act by providing churches the tools to conduct a Bash-Obama event masquerading as a townhall meeting.

Anti-Health Care Reform, Anti-Obama: What's Been Going Out As "Gospel" Part Two
Now we finally get to that part about "pulling the plug on granny." The Health Care Bill repeatedly cites that the patient's wishes and decisions are paramount. But to suspicious Christofascists, like Prof. Stevor, there's too much leeway for the Obama administration to step in and turn us all into "Obama Zombies." Read all of the sections Stevor cites and I annotate. At times, you just don't believe he can read.

Birthers And The PENIS PROBE!!
(6 comments) Just when you thought you were safe from another birther idiocy, there comes along another even dumber! This time the subject is the President's penis. Yes. Penis. They want to see if he is circumcized or not. Oh, the lengths they'll go to!

Town Hall Protest Mentality: The View From The Bottom Of The Barrel
Mob mentality has seeped into our democratic system and it may not go away any time too soon. This article has two videos which portray it in the making.

Anti-Health Care Reform, Anti-Obama: What's Been Going Out As "Gospel" Part One
(4 comments) Dan Vojir goes point-by-point with the Dean of Liberty University Law School and his “brief” describing HR 3200, the Health Care Bill. Vojir points out how a dyed-in-the-wool Christofascist has been presenting a pack of assumptions, misinterpretations, and lies as “the Gospel Truth.” This screed reeks of Obama hatred and tries to instill fear that we will all become “Obama Zombies” on the road to totalitarianism.

He's Just One Bad Apple! We're Not ALL Like That!
"One bad apple"- You know that it's a valid argument, but come on! We heard it A LOT through Abu Ghraib. We've heard the same said at least a thousand times about Fred Phelps. Now we've got a man who scribbles on cardboard a death threat to Obama, the First Lady, AND they're two daughters! So it's "one bad apple"- time again. But this time the phrase might not work: we're stuck with an orchard of bad apples.

The Rise In Militias: Palin's "Rallymen" Coming Home To Roost!
(2 comments) What kind of people go to town hall meetings these days? What about "desperate"? How about "crude and rude"? How about "misinformed"? Is there a link to these ideological free-fore-alls to the dramatic rise of the militias?

The Best Offense: Bankrupt Hate!
How much does hate cost in America? From printing fliers at KLinko's to slick commercial actors talking ominously about a "coming storm," hate groups spend billions upon billions of dollars. Most of the promotional items are carefully budgeted. But what about unexpected expenses? Like lawsuits. During these hard economic times, their money may run out. What will YOU do?

Glenn Beck By Numbers: The True Story (We Think)
(2 comments) How much further will Glenn Beck go? He's already been blamed for inciting riots. Three of his most important sponsors have left him. What makes Glenn Beck tick? In this article we take slightly more critical view of today's "shock jock du jour".

Eric Prince's Blackwater: Christofascism At Work
(2 comments) Eric Prince is only 40-years-old and he already has his own private army: Blackwater (now known as Xe) still has over 1,000 armed mercenaries in Iraq. And Blackwater has managed to kill hundreds (if not thousands) of Iraqi citizens. But the testimony of two former Blackwater employees may demote Prince to pauper: they allege that he may have murdered two whistle-blowing employees.

Whoopi Goldberg to Sister Act to Pedaphile Priest to Mother Theresa
Whoopi Goldberg is only three degrees of separation away from Mother Theresa. The elements: Goldberg filmed the blockbuster movie, SISTER ACT at St. Paul's church in San Francisco at the same time Father Donald McGuirre was there, welcoming Mother Theresa. He became the nun's confessor. But he also used the confessional for unorthodox purpose than hearing sins. He's serving a 25-year sentence for child abuse.

The Latest Birther Revelation: OBAMA IS FROM MARS!!
(5 comments) What's a "birther"? And why are some people attracted to the "birther movement"? Birthers are people who are desperate to take any means to justify their end: bash Barack Obama. They'll scream loudly and clearly...anything. The juiciest theories are like the most hilarious Weekly World News Headlines. Too bad CNN, "The Most Trusted Name In News," has got commentator Lou Dobbs to give them a platform for stupidity.

The Art Of Human Sacrifice: When Religious Families Become Too Extreme In Their "Love" of God
(5 comments) An internet, nationwide search for Bryce Faulkner has been taking place for several weeks with no results. Bryce was forced by his parents to enter a de-gaying program (Exodus, Int). It was a case of "Go, or else we cut off all your funds (including med school), all communication, all your credit cards, then kick you out on the street." Were they really willing to sacrifice Bryce to God in this way? Yes, they were.

Out From Underneath His Rock: Rick Warren To Speak (His mind?)To American Muslims
Rick Warren speaking to Muslims?!? While some right wingnuts think he's pandering to Obama and diplomacy a bit too much, other people think it's hypocritical and, well, ludicrous. An example of Rick Warren's fuzzy logic is how he fared with Sam Harris in a debate. Guess who won? s s fuzzy

You Don't Have To Eat 10,000 Boxes Of Crackerjack To Become An Ordained Minister! [Satire]
No, your pastor didn't have to eat 10,000 boxes of Crackerjack to get that "Doctor of Divinity" tag, but just where DID he get it? Is the title R-E-V-E-R-E-N-D synonymous with R-E-S-P-E-C-T? Most people think so. [Satire] Ordination by the Universal Life Church (online or by mail!) of over 20 million people since 1959 brings up the question: how good are your pastor's educational credentials?

Baby Be-Bop And The Badassed Bigots! Burning books in West Bend, WI
(2 comments) This is about bigotry for the sake of bigotry: in little West Bend, WI, nebulous group calling itself the Christian Civil Liberties Union is filing suit against the local library in order to have a young adult gay-themed novel removed from its shelves ...and burn it. Yes, burn it. The saga has drama galore in the persons of the wingnuts who have filed suit. It's scary, but hilarious at the same time.

Sex With Ducks, PRIDE and The Gayification Of The Obama Administration
(3 comments) June is a whole month of PRIDE: President Obama put his pen to the declaration that June is to be LGBT Pride month! Of course, some people aren't happy about it: the American Revolution, the Irish, mothers, fathers, lovers get only ONE DAY! Even Jesus gets only a handful in comparison! The "slippery slope" theorists are seeing red: first a whole month dedicated to gays, then gay marriage, then...sex with ducks!

So How Magnanimous Will The Protect Marriage people Be Now?
(3 comments) So the PMs (Protect Marriage people) think they have a victory? Well, not a complete victory. You see, they want BLOOD. There are 18,000 "demon spawn" out there whose lives they haven't been able to ruin - yet. Magnanimous? Guess again!

The New Repulsive Republicans: Featuring Cheney's Chamber of Horrors!
(1 comments) Stupid. Arrogant. Bloviating, Weird. The Republicans now have a new descriptive adjective: REPULSIVE! es, as in bloodthirsty, slimy, yucky, even worse than "Bill the Cat" repulsive. Think Dick Cheney breathing, repulsively, in the face of Sigourney Weaver in "Alien." THAT kind of repulsive. Of course, Ann Coulter(geist) comes with her own set of adjectives.

No Wall Between Church and State: Ireland and The Largest Child Abuse Scandal in History
(4 comments) The Republic of Ireland has just released a report that has taken nine years to produce: for 60 years, state-subsidized Catholic institutions such as industrial schools, orphanages and reformatories covered up widespread physical and sexual abuse: 30,000 children. Statements of apology from the Church regarding this story were read yesterday. But were they enough?

An Open Letter To Hillary Clinton: Don't Let Michael Savage Out Of The Country!
(3 comments) Open Letter To Secretary of State Hillary Clinton: PLEASE don't rescind Britain's ban on Michael Savage. Britain has gone through enough these last 2000 years: besieged by Romans, Britons, Vikings, Dutch and Germans. Sicking Michael Savage on them would devastate them! Leave the poor British alone!

Unabashed Hatred From The Republican Party Has Been Condensed...
(7 comments) Remember Matthew Shepard? If you weren't living in a cave at the time, you know his story by heart: he was murdered because he was gay. But some people still don't get it: hate crimes exist. Unfortunately, some members of Congress hate the thought of any form of hate crimes legislation. Virginia Foxx (R-NC) is one. In her speech to Congress opposing the Matthew Shepard Hate Crimes Act, she defined the Republican Party.

Dobson, Warren, Parsley, Hagee, Perkins go back to their cages ... for now
(4 comments) James Dobson made a farewell speech to his Focus On The Family staff and supporters that shook the evangelicals quite a bit: "We've lost the culture war." But did he mean it? And just how far did the Christian Right go in their part of the "war?" A lot further than we wanted them to go. The war's not over by a long shot.

A Purpose Driven Genocide: Rick Warren and Gays in Africa
Couple Rick Warren's statements on Larry King's show with his work for "Purpose Driven" nations in Africa. Rick Warren will certainly never support gay rights. In fact, he's going in the opposite direction: big time.

Warren, Spin, Iowa and Vermont
(1 comments) The way some people spin news is in many ways hilarious. However, when you use words that border on falsehoods, you run the risk of looking just a bit fascist. Iowa, Vermont and Rick Warren's appearance on Larry King last night made the issue of gay marriage look like all out war consisting of "activist judges" "misconceptions" "Democrats - the gay marriage party" When will it let up? No. Fasten your seatbelts...

Holy Hannity! Notre Dame Doesn't Know What It Means To Be Catholic Today!!
(3 comments) Sean Hannity drove Obama-bashing into overdrive Friday on a subject that everyone but the particulars in the matter has covered ad nauseum: Obama's speaking at the Notre Dame Commencement in May. The crux of his interview with Jim Nicholson (former Ambassador to the Holy See) was: Obama must hate Catholics and Catholics must hate Obama.

Ann Coulter(geist) Bites A Big One
(7 comments) So you think Ann Coulter is the LAST person to be fooled about anything? Guess again. In her rabid chase for anything anti-Obama, she fell for an April Fool's joke and even Rush Limbaugh laughed and insinuated that she was stupid! And in her corollary rhetoric, she revealed that she even depends upon Michelle Malkin for "news" from time to time! Of all the Republicans to fool, Coulter will be the most dangerous - to herself.

Nobody EXPECTS the Spanish Inquisition
(5 comments) Monty Python's troop said it all: "NOBODY expects the Spanish Inquisition!" Loyal ex-Bushies like Alberto Gonzales certainly didn't expect it! But now Spain has agreed to open a case against six former Bush administration officials charging war crimes. Relief! We were waiting with baited breath until a country started advocating justice against Bush's crew. If other countries follow suit: "Paraguay here we come!"

Joe Sixpack (aka Sarah Palin) vs The Volcano (Mt. Redoubt)
(7 comments) Natural disasters always test the mettle of a leader. Yesterday AND NOW TODAY, Alaska's Mt. Redoubt Volcano has erupted SIX times, the largest plume being over 60,000 feet (11.5 miles). While vulcanologists are being optimistic about the fate of Anchorage in regards to volcanic ash, that largest major eruption in 1990 caused $160 million in damages: the same amount rejected by Palin slated in the Stimulus for Alaska schools.

The Two Biggest "Hate Crimes" Of All: Prop 8 and Tony Perkins
(1 comments) Tony Perkins is a hate machine in a league of his own: his attacks on the Obama administration and on gays are always larger than life and laden with "conspiracies." The signing of the U.N. declaration decriminalizing homosexuality (non-binding) made Perkins go ballistic. But he's one hate crime we cannot totally ignore.

Condom Papa: The Pope Blinded By The Fantasy of Abstinence
(10 comments) Pope Benedict XVI is against the use of condoms for preventing AIDS/HIV. So? Everybody knows that. But for the first time, he actually said that condoms are part of the problem, especially in Africa where he is currently touring. His power-grab for spiritual allegiance in Africa is almost as effective as Rick Warren's. He has not yet visited Uganda, a "Purpose Driven" nation. Maybe he doesn't see it as a potential money-maker?

Friday, March 13, 2009
I Hope Rick Warren Fails
(10 comments) What is there about Rick Warren that masks the REAL Rick Warren? Has his art of manipulation gone too far? Just what are his motives in expanding his "Purpose Driven" empire? These are questions Warren won't answer and that can make a person more than skeptical - it can make a person...afraid.

CPAC: Just How Different Was This Hate Fair From a Palin Rally?
What went on a the hallowed CPAC? With such international luminaries as Phyllis Schlafly,Michele Bachmann and Stephen Baldwin, like the tag on The National Enquirer: Enquiring Minds Want To Know! Of course what REALLY mattered was what Rush Limbow-wow said (that's my pet name for him - he really does remind one of an aging pitbull!)

The Jindal Juggernaut: Bush With A Brain?
(3 comments) Barack Obama's speech addressed the country's needs. Bobby Jindal's response speech expressed his desire to be President. Is Jindal just "Bush with a brain?"

Rush Limbow-wow: King-maker or King-breaker?
Who would want someone who's usually foaming at the mouth for a champion? Evidently Bobby Jindal has got a champion in Rush Limbaugh. And why not? They certainly both share the same views. But state them differently. The critics sounded an acute alarm after Jindal's famous "front porch speech." He garnered more rhetorical and literary contempt than Edward Bulwer-Lytton ("It was a dark and stormy night"). Enter Rush...

Chris Buttars Will Raise Jesse Helms From The Dead On Satruday Feb. 28!
Utah State Senator Chris Buttars will be the focus of attention this Saturday when a unique blend of party and protest occurs on Saturday in front of Utah's State Capitol building. Buttars in the (increasingly) famous politician who stated that gays were the "worst threat" to America. However, what may also come to light (as this article points out) is Buttars association with what has been called the Mormon Gulag.

Thank God For Religious Intolerance!
(14 comments) Since when have Christian sects ever agreed on anything? With the exception of Prop 8, the "Christian Right" has had a very long history of embracing warfare, especially amongst themselves. Why don't we just leave them alone to fight their own battles? Because they may unite someday. And that day may be the Armaggedon they've dreamed of.

The Elephant In The Room: Christofascism Defined
(16 comments) With "Christian Right" searching for a new brand that is not pejorative, the term "Christofascist" is particularly derogatory. It may be, however, the most apt label of all. This article addresses the question: "Who/what is a Christofascist? It takes the standard warning signs of fascism, then adds the particular signs of Christofascism. You may never see Mike Huckabee in the same light again!

Ann Coulter: Too White To Be Clean?
(8 comments) Famous right-wing pundit Ann Coulter(geist) always has someone or something to bash: whether it's Joe Biden's hairplugs, Michelle Obama's style, Princess Diana (yes, her too!)Jews or Muslims, she goes for the lowest common denominator. This post, however, shows that what she ACTUALLY SUPPORTS is really White Supremacy in all of its ugly glory. Her defense of the Council of Conservative Citizens is rank and detestable.

The New "Social Conservatives": Mormons On The Attack!
(3 comments) Just how aggressive is the Mormon Church going to be in the "Culture War"? Was Prop 8 just the beginning or was it, as one Mormon elder put it, "the Gettysburg of the Culture War"? For years, the Mormon Church has struggled for acceptance by mainstream American religions. They helped pass Prop 8 with money...and manpower. So just how far will they go?

GITMO FOR KIDS? Senator Buttar's Idea Of "Tough Love"
(4 comments) What is West Ridge Academy in Logan, Utah? A summer camp? A detention center? A boot camp? A Mormon indoctrination center for "wayward" kids? With the articles and "commercials" floating around you'd probably say, "a bit of all of these - but leave out the summer camp." And how does the (now) infamous Utah state senator Chris Buttars fit in? How much abuse did he approve of?

British Warned of Terrorist Attack- By Fred Phelps!
(4 comments) Westboro Baptist Church "Rev." Fred Phelps and his family plan to picket a presentation of the play "The Laramie Project" at St. Marry's College, Basingstoke, Hampshire, England! George Bush may have killed foreign diplomacy, but why does this insanity have to put nails in the coffin?
