This is a great idea. Classify those bastards at the Westboro Baptist Church, the ones who picket funerals for veterans and, apparently, slain elementary school children, as a hate group.
I mean what is more hateful than picketing funerals for people killed defending their right to have freedom of religion and then picketing the funerals for the children killed at Sandy Hook.
Now, I'm all for freedom of religion. But personally I feel that this Westboro bunch of crazies has crossed that line a long time ago.
The most religious people I know in my life would never condone such blatant hatred. In fact, the religious people I know are empathetic and loving.
I don't know how anyone could apply those two adjectives to anything associated with the Westboro Church.
The more I think about the Westboro fools, the more I think of that scene in The Mist, where the religious crackpots gain control of the survivors in the mall and are demanding a child sacrifice to appease God. Sounds kind of similar to God punishing America for tolerating gays and lesbians. I mean if the Westboro folks were in charge, how long would it take to set up concentration camps (and eventually much worse) plunging us all back to Germany in the 1940's?
