Freedom to be small minded, mean hearted, petty, bitter, old man.
Once in a while, I can’t help but feeling that Freedom Of Speech should be temporarily be traded for Freedom To Take A Baseball Bat To Someone Who Desperately Needs A Beating.
Perennial scum Fred Phelps is at it again. This time giving thanks for the recent tsunami’s destruction of some gay Swedish vacationers.
When those of us on the liberal/progressive/anarchist/commie/free love side of the spectrum profess some concern about fundamentalist Christians, it is the Westboro Baptist Church and their ilk that we speak of. (Yeah, I know the guy’s a Democrat, but he’s no where near “left”.) Thank God they are the exception, but they’re a damn offensive one.

The GREAT thing about the 1st Amendment is that bigots feel free to voice their opinions, giving THINKING people a chance to KNOW where they’re coming from!!!
ER : *nod* yeah, absolutely. While it sucks that some people have opinions like that, I’d far rather be aware of it than not.
