Did you know?

Did you know that the members of the Westboro Baptist Church are banned from entering Canada... I googled it.. It's True XD

Also The United Kingdom has banned them entering their country, as well, on the basis of hate speech.

6. They are such a caricature I don't believe they mean it. But others listen. They should STHU.

They are just a travelling circus that makes its living from getting publicity, abusing the First Amendment and suing people. They are real life trolls.

The problem is they sound so much crazier than other haters, who point to them and say 'See, we're not like them, so listen to what we have to say. We're legitimate and they're not.'

All a load of grifters making money from the gullible and those with weak minds may act on the atmosphere that they and the 'respectable' pundits have created. A pox on all of them.

What I'd do is pass a law prohibiting the use of public resources to protect groups like Westboro when they utilize it.
