Fred Phelps was not so much concerned about the feelings or opinions of his fellow human beings as he was about communicating to them the truth--which can be commendable.Had he mingled any mercy, compassion or tender loving care in his messages or protests, then he would've been your basic average preacher, protester, activist, evangelist & etc.
No, Fred wasn't going to be just your average Joe-Protester.
I therefore salute Fred Phelps, because he was either "cold" or "hot": but he was definitely NOT "lukewarm" !
Those who rejoice, glory or gloat over the death of Mr. Phelps; rejoice, glory & gloat over the death of unpopular protest &-or the death of The First Amendment To The U.S. Constitution. And that, my dear friend, is the most ANTI-/-NON-/-UN-American position to ever take against The U.S.A. & HER CONSTITUTION !
And, what will your rejoicing, glorying or gloating be over the death of Mr. Ed Snowden ?
For he, as Mr. Phelps, took the 1st-Amendment of The U.S. Constitution to it's limits !
NOTE-When The Sodomites Of Chicago & The Forces Of Darkness Pushed Their Perversion At A North Side Methodist Church; Fred Phelps Joined The Chicago Righteous In Protesting SATAN & HIS SODOMITES: Which Included The Sodomite Grandson Of RIGHTEOUS EVANGELIST PAUL RADER !
