the Conservative Progress: Those who are foolish will prove themselves fools.

This should be the last follow up on the followers of hate coming to Opelika (previous posts here, here, and here)

From OANow.com:

An anti-America protest scheduled to coincide with an Opelika soldier’s funeral Saturday occurred with little confrontation.
However, there were those who turned out to pay tribute to the slain soldier who voiced opposition to the Kansas-based church group’s message summarized by picket signs bearing slogans like “God hates you” and “America is doomed.”

I am glad to see that the community these idiots their proper place:

Several American flag-waving supporters protested this message by standing in front of the barricade, partially blocking view of the group from Jeter Road where the church is located.
This prompted some members of the church group to step out of the designated area set up by Opelika police.
To ensure a peaceful assembly, police ordered the group to stay within the set boundaries, prompting a complaint from Fred Phelps’ son Timothy who claimed police were violating their oath to uphold the United States Constitution.
“They have to do everything they can to shut us down,” said Phelps. “This is what you call government taking a side on an issue. This is what you call Nazi America.”
In addition to mocking patriotic songs and waving anti-gay signs, one group member dragged an American flag on the ground with her foot.
“You’re ‘bout the sorriest person I ever seen,” Bill Lines, a member of In Country Veterans Motorcycle Club, said to Timothy Phelps. The Prattville-based group was in town to “support the soldier,” according to member Don Carroll.
As the group left following a thirty-minute demonstration, several area residents, including Gina Freeman, expressed their disdain for the group and its methods.
“Go back to where you came from,” Freeman yelled toward the group’s van as it got an escort out of town from state troopers.

But why do they do this?

The Rev. Phelps, who was not present at the protest, said during a phone interview Friday the WBC uses the funerals of soldiers from the war in Iraq for its demonstration to garner extra public attention.

Of course. Nevermind the complete disrespect this group shows. I dispise the fact they claim to be Christian in their cause. If that is true, they left the Christian path long ago.

But they have more plans:
