One's history can reveal a lot about one's purpose

This is a follow up on a post from last week about "Rev." Fred Phelps and his plan to protest at the funeral of Sgt. Christopher Taylor of Opelika and the community's response.

Homocon has found out a little bit about Phelps' history (HT: Red State Rant):

You know Fred Phelps, he of "God Hates Fags" fame, protester at Matthew Shepard's funeral and poster-boy of the gay left's attempts to portray Conservatives as right-wing homophobes? Turns out that Phelps is a full-fledged, registered Democrat!

"In 1988, Phelps housed campaign workers for Al Gore's first presidential run; in 1989, his eldest son, Fred Jr., hosted a fundraiser for Gore's Senate campaign at his home . . . Because of their years as loyal Democrats, the Phelpses have even been invited to -- and attended -- both of Clinton's inaugurations."

It'll be a blessing for this man if he doesn't get hurt when he shows up in Opelika. I'm going to try to be there to at least see the procession pass on Fox Run Parkway in Opelika. If possible, I'll live blog on it and post pictures later.
