I don't see any difference between the Phelps and our own government when it comes down to condemning homosexual lifestyle. The Phelps happen to be less discreet in their vocalization.
You don't see the difference? You sir really need to rethink things. I find it offensive you'd even compare Phelps and the **** that comes out of her mouth with our own govt. Truly a pathetic statement...Go do some research on what this woman says and tell me you still think our own govt feels the same way.Quote:

Just because they don't have Phelps' mouth doesn't mean the sentiment is any different. Or do I need to do more research?
Idlewild, did you watch that entire video? That family goes to the funerals of dead soldiers to tell the families that their sons and daughters must have done something "sinful" and they are being punished by God by being blown up while in combat.
Frankly, I think that comparing the views of this family to anybody in their right mind is bizarre in itself.
Yes please do some research, I'd like to know where our govt has wished death on the gay population like Phelps.Quote:

The Government has & is not condemning the Homosexual lifestyle, so, I don't know where you get your information.Quote:

Even though Gays can not "legally" marry, domestic partnership laws are being voted into law.
What people have to remember is that the Homosexual lifestyle is still not an accepted lifestyle, and the Government reflects the people, to a point, which is wise there are exceptions & compromises.
That was General Peter Pace's personal views, and the General was not reflecting the viewpoint of the Government, also, the General supports the current rule, "Don't ask, don't tell"Quote:

This is certainly a far cry from Killing Gay Soldiers.....
As far as the history lesson of Aids, you are right & wrong, when Aids started coming out, it was isolated to the gay community & at the same time, nobody knew what the disease was.
Don't forget that Aids was being spread faster through the Blood Banks from Blood donated from Homosexuals that were carrying the Aids virus.
There is a time and place for freedom of speech, but what this family is doing is entirely disgusting. They should be exiled to a small island in the Pacific where their opinions can't be heard, because they don't have a right to express them in this manner of going to funerals.
Although I agree that the government and a lot of the American public needs to stop being so homophobic, the comments made by this family far outweigh any action or comments made by the current or past governments.
How can you take someone seriously, if they really believe "***s" eat poop. that comment makes everything she believes in looks like ****.
Hasnt that woman been on Howard Stern before?
First off,
#1, From the video.... "made up from almost an entire single family.." So you are dealing with a bunch of inbreds.
#2, what man in their right mind would have sex with that woman at least 11 times and give her 11 new demons to raise? Oh wait, refer to #1, ...inbreds
#3, "All homosexuals must die"....coming from a Christian group? Right. I wish that Amish schoolgirl killer were still around. I would have directed him to this house and left the girls schoolhouse alone in Amish Country. Better yet, a nicely placed car accident at that intersection might do the trick.
They can say what the want on their talk shows and do with with a smile on their face b/c they really believe they are in the right and G-D will forgive them at the end of the evening.
In my absolute opinion, these people are just AS dangerous, if not MORE dangerous than "radical bomb blowing themselves up" terrorists.
They are akin to Waco.
And our government should not waste resources like ousting Manuel Noriega , Osama, Saddam, and Che Guevera when they have their own internal terrorists that they can sic their CIA on. Problem of course is we don't want the governement attacking its own Ameican citizens, right?
Well since they call America ****, I say its fair to assume they are NOT american, so the CIA ought to get the go ahead to whack them.
Commence the operation.
Now, of course mine is an emotional rant but I have the brain to know its a rant. THis woman is not ranting. She is just dangerous and should be exiled with her church, to some barren land...
Canada anyone? ;)
She and her kids have been frequent guests on Stern, I think for a real interview once, but usually for special events like Hollyweird Squares, where they would be in a square next to Daniel Carver from the KKK, Gary the Retard, etc. I haven't listened to the show in awhile so I'm not sure if he still has them on.Quote:

There is far greater danger that someone will shoot the Phelps than of them causing anyone else to be hurt.Quote:

Their message is so grossly and laughably unappealing that I don't think they're dangerous at all. Anyone who would be inspired by their ideas is already weak-minded and pathetic.
I am not sure "the Government" has a particular position on homosexuality.
Hollywood and Television has a fairly obvious pro gay stance...and its nominally regulated by Govt standards...
The Military has taken a nuetral stance...
Many discrimination policies/rules/laws in or applying to private industry seem to protect disccrimination based on sexual orientation.
Many publically funded school systems take a pro gay activist stance on homosexuality.
AIDS is (I think) a well funded health issue... relative to other diseases probably.
All kinds of well meaning (but probably dopey and dangerous) "hate crimes" legislation has been pased.
There remains antipathy towards homosexuality in some established religions, opposition to "gay marriage" on a grass roots level often, real homo phobia is professional sports, still considered a liability in intelligence ("spy") organizations I believe and so on..based on historical cultural norms the world over, but I don't believe the US Govt has distinguished itself as a premier "homophobic" entity in comparison to most others.
WHo is the Govt?
