Westboro Awakening

Evil often overplays its hand... the result being the exact opposite desired by the evil.

This is called "awakening"... and it is taking place in the freedom loving countries of our world.

Big Peace

More than 200 people, many of whom were veterans, descended upon downtown St. Charles, Mo., at noon Thursday to counter a 30-minute protest by three sign-carrying members of the controversial Topeka, Kan.-based Westboro Baptist Church, a group most well-known for protesting at military funerals.

The Westboro protest came less than three weeks after the St. Charles County Council passed a measure to ban protests within 300 feet of military funerals beginning one hour before the funeral begins and lasting until one hour after the funeral ends.

Veterans ... came from as far away as Hannibal, Mo., 94 miles to the north, and DeSoto, Mo., 60 miles south, according to Roy Sherwood of VFW Post 2866 in St. Charles, Mo. Their mission: to make sure the Westboro protesters knew their message and actions against their fallen comrades were not appreciated.

“We fought for their right to do that, but we don’t agree with it,” Sherwood said. “We came down here as a group to show our support for our veterans.”....

So.... to the perpetrators of hatred toward our country and our love of freedom... I wish to say... thank you for your hate and venom... it works not what you desire.
