It makes you want to go up and get your balls kicked in. I wonder if she's a ***? Image Unavailable, Please Login
you guys have no idea how crazy these people are...they protest in front of my school on a regular basis..I have had to walk through their picket lines more than once in my life, first when I was five and seeing a musical in Topeka, they picketed the Performing Arts Center because "all dancers are gay" and of course here at school. It is scary how much hate these people have in their souls. The sad thing is that we can't really do anything about them because it is their right to protest. Not all Kansans hate, but sadly, the only ones who get publicity are the ones who do.
i slept on this thread for the night. this isn't the first time i've heard of this family, my local news and radio stations have covered them. (topeka's not too far away from the lou) i don't understand how a god-fearing family is preaching that they're "worshipping the dead." shouldn't they be celebrating the after life? this lady's (i forget if it was father or father in law) is nowhere to be seen at these pickets. i wonder if they realize that they're being used and when it comes down to the wire, will he make an appearance? there is a guy by the name of brother jed, who regularly preaches at college campus', including mizzou. he preaches that wives are the man's property, that if you don't believe the bible in its strictest interpretations, you're going to hell. these guys are crazy. if you believe this way, great, everyone should believe in something, but don't force it upon others, ESPECIALLY at funerals, any funeral, not just ones for fallen soldiers in combat. overall, these guys that are doing this seemingly have no compassion for the dead, and no compassion for those that believe differently from them. i can only hope that one day they realize what it is that they're exactly doing.
sorry for the second (and long) post, but i couldn't help but think of this scene from the west wing when i watched this story. (and i fully agree with the previous post that those rights that mean the most to us are often the ones that make us the angriest) but here's the text of this scene (and if i can find it, i'll post the text of the letter that inspired this one): There’s an election day scene that amuses hugely even as it demonstrates Sorkin’s fearless faculty for combining controversial ideas, dramatic situations and circular-saw-like wit. The scene, a real showstopper, finds the president stopping in on a White House gathering of radio talk personalities. As Bartlet struggles though a speech extolling the gabbers’ contributions to the airwaves, Bartlet is distracted by the sight of a Dr. Laura-like radio psychologist seated nearby. "BARTLET: It’s a good idea to be reminded of the awesome impact, the awesome impact… I’m sorry. You’re Dr. Jenna Jacobs, right? JACOBS (obviously pleased to be recognized): Yes, sir! BARTLET: It’s good to have you here. JACOBS: Thank you! BARTLET: … the awesome impact of the airwaves, and how that translates into the furthering of our national discussions, but obviously also how it can … how it can … Forgive me, Dr. Jacobs. Are you an M.D.? JACOBS: A Ph.D. BARTLET: A Ph.D. JACOBS: Yes, sir. BARTLET: In psychology? JACOBS: No, sir. BARTLET: Theology? JACOBS: No. BARTLET: Social work? JACOBS: I have a Ph.D. in English Literature. BARTLET: I’m asking ‘cause on your show people call in for advice – and you go by the name Dr. Jacobs on your show – and I didn’t know if maybe your listeners were confused by that and assumed you had advanced training in psychology, theology or health care. JACOBS: I don’t believe they are confused, no, sir. BARTLET: I like your show. I like how you call homosexuality an “abomination!” JACOBS: I don’t say homosexuality is an abomination, Mr. President. The Bible does. BARTLET: Yes it does. Leviticus! JACOBS: 18:22. BARTLET: Chapter and verse. I wanted to ask you a couple of questions while I had you here. I wanted to sell my youngest daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. She’s a Georgetown Sophomore, speaks fluent Italian, always cleared the table when it was her turn. What would a good price for her be? (Bartlet only waits a second for a response, then plunges on.) BARTLET: While thinking about that, can I ask another? My chief of staff, Leo McGary, insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2 clearly says he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself? Or is it okay to call the police? (Bartlet barely pauses to take a breath.) BARTLET: Here’s one that’s really important, because we’ve got a lot of sports fans in this town. Touching the skin of a dead pig makes one unclean. Leviticus 11:7. If they promise to wear gloves, can the Washington Redskins still play football? Can Notre Dame? Can West Point? Does the whole town really have to be together to stone my brother John for planting different crops side by side? Can I burn my mother in a small family gathering for wearing garments made from two different threads? Think about those questions, would you? (The camera pushes in on the president.) One last thing. While you may be mistaking this for your monthly meeting of the Ignorant Tight-Ass Club, in this building when the president stands, nobody sits. (Jacobs sees that, in fact, the president is standing and she is the only one in the room sitting. After a moment, she rises, holding her tiny plate of appetizers. After the president exits, Sam Seaborn sternly approaches a thoroughly belittled Jacobs.) SAM: I’m just … going to take that crab puff. (Sam snatches Dr. Jacob’s crab puff, then hurries after the president.)" and the video of this scene: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHaVUjjH3EI
brother jed was at k-state on tuesday. he stands in the middle of the union courtyard and screams at the top of his lungs. most students just stand and heckle him. tuesday there were a bunch of guys videotaping him, so i am sure it will end up on youtube soon.
I've seen videos of the lunatics before and it's disgusting. Someone needs t dress up in a disguise and take a baseball bat to them the next time they picket a funeral. I highly doubt the local police would work very hard on the case.
Lunatics they may be. Disguises and masks are generally used by cowards not real proud of what they're doing. KKK, Islamofascists, students burning a US soldier in effigy, thieves, and the like. Non ense solum.
I cant believe I watched all of the 7 videos on Youtube. Besides the boy getting hit with soda, I'm honestly shocked there hasn't been a drive-by on them yet. Because if they are that insane then you know there's people just as crazy that will do something like that.
I think Jason had it right earlier in the thread. A beating is what they need. If you watch through all the videos, somewhere in there they talk about how they're happy when people die, get cancer, etc... because those are all acts of god, and everything god does is good. I wonder if they'd feel the same way if god decided to have someone break every one of their legs and leave them hog tied in a field hoping that another "act of god" brought someone there to save them from starving to death?
Wow, just watched it. She's a very rude, aggressive person...not what fits in my definition of a Jew/Catholic/Christian/etc., however, it does fall in my definition of a religious zealot. It's sad that the young children of the family are subjected -- forced -- to the picketing. The day someone does open a can o' whoop-@ss on them could become tragic.
The bible also says ""let he who is without sin cast the first stone"...maybe they should think before they continue?? A sin is a sin is a sin.
