		<description>Google:  LOVING GOD&#039;S HATE,  an expose on Fred Phelps by the Topeka Capitol-Journal, Phelps&#039; hometown newspaper.

Some of the many shocking revelations:  several of Phelps&#039; estranged children have publicly asserted they were severely and frequently abused by Phelps;  the details of Phelps&#039; disbarment by the Kansas Supreme Court and the Federal Courts for repeated ethics violations;  the details of a successful lawsuit against Phelps by a candy vendor who was owed more than $5,000 by Phelps.  The report further states the Phelps children were made to sell the candy door-to-door until late into the evening and in bad weather.

Despite many of Phelps&#039; children being attorneys, and despite the fact this information has been on the Topeka Capitol-Journal website for many years, Phelps has never sued for libel.

I would never vote for any candidate that accepted or sought help from Phelps.  If a candidate is so lazy he didn&#039;t know Phelps&#039; background, he doesn&#039;t deserve elected office.  On the other hand, if a candidate knew Phelps&#039; background and accepted Phelps&#039; help, that candidate is totally immoral, and deserves public censor.</description>

		<description>BTW, Merlin about your Strauss post. You are on the money.

Comment by Juan C
----
I love it. Everytime I see the word Strauss or GWF Hegel (Strauss mentor love daddy) it&#039;s music to my ears. The Neocon&#039;s really hate it when the blogs talk about these two abominations to this world.  The Straussians (Neocons) only want one thing and that is pure one world order. Where Liberals would be enslaved, tortured, and killed. I&#039;m not kidding. This is what these people truly believe and will not stop. I realize that to most people it&#039;s hard to understand how or why, and then rationalize it as crazy talk. But it isn&#039;t. These people openly write about it.

I wrote a couple of days ago about the Freemasons Child Identification Program (The RFID/chipping of children) that is going live internationally through this organization. Some people in this group couldn&#039;t believe it was me? How could I believe such &quot;conspiracy theories?&quot;. My name must have been jacked and some imposter writing this stuff....No.  Google: &quot;Freemasons Child Identification Program&quot; Chipping people is a precursor to human bondage, and what your seeing here is it&#039;s infancy. Anyway, this is just a very small blip in a much bigger picture.</description>

		<description>You got it! They stated before 9/11 that unless a pearl Harbor like event happened it would take perhaps a generation to achieve their goals (Plan A). That event happened; they were prepared for it and proceded pell mell to put their Plan into motion.

I knew they were evil, but I never realized just how evil they really are.

Thanks, Merlin.

		<description>Some more quotes:

&quot;&#039;I now know [Bush is] sincere about wanting freedom for the Iraqis,&#039; Cindy said after their meeting. &#039;I know he&#039;s sorry and feels some pain for our loss. And I know he&#039;s a man of faith,&#039; &quot; and, &quot;For the first time in 11 weeks, they felt whole again. &#039;That was the gift the president gave us, the gift of happiness, of being together,&#039; Cindy said.&quot;

â€œWe are waging a nuclear war in Iraq right now. That country is contaminated. It will be contaminated for practically eternity now.â€

â€œWe want our country back and, if we have to impeach everybody from George Bush down to the person who picks up dog sh** in Washington, we will impeach all those people.â€ 

&quot;We began the killing as soon as we stepped foot on these shores [of America] and the killing has gone on unabated for over 200 years.&quot; 
&quot;There has always been excuses for wars, but NONE of them have been good or valid.&quot; 

&quot;Am I emotional? Yes, my first born was murdered. Am I angry? Yes, he was killed for lies and for a PNAC Neo-Con agenda to benefit Israel.&quot;

&quot;My son joined the Army to protect America, not Israel.&quot;

&quot;Another thing that Iâ€™m doing is - - my son was killed in 2004, so Iâ€™m not paying my taxes for 2004. If I get a letter from the IRS, Iâ€™m gonna say, you know what, this war is illegal; this is why this war is illegal. This war is immoral; this is why this war is immoral. You killed my son for this. I donâ€™t owe you anything. And if I live to be a million, I wonâ€™t owe you a penny.&quot;

&quot;And I want them to come after me, because unlike what youâ€™ve been doing with the war resistance, I want to put this frickinâ€™ war on trial. And I want to say, â€˜You give me my son, and Iâ€™ll pay your taxes.â€™&quot;

&quot;I DEFINITELY think that we should support war resisters in the military. &quot;

&quot;I know several people who are being court-martialed, and they need supportâ€“they need monetary support, they need our moral support, and they need to know that weâ€™re with them.&quot;

&quot;We need to encourage more people to do this. &quot;

&quot;I have been silent on the Gold Star Moms who still support this man and his war by saying that they deserve the right to their opinions because they are in as much pain as I am. I would challenge them, though, at this point to start thinking for themselvesâ€¦ I am starting to lose a little compassion for them. I know they have been as brainwashed as the rest of America, but they know the pain and heartache and they should not wish it on another. However, I still feel their pain so acutely and pray for these &quot;continue the murder and mayhem&quot; moms to see the light.&quot;</description>

However, I still feel their pain so acutely and pray for these &#8220;continue the murder and mayhem&#8221; moms to see the light.&#8221;<a href="javascript:void(0)" title=""  onmouseover="window.status=''; return true" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true" onclick="ddrc_popup('http://thinkprogress.org/wp-content/plugins/dd-report-comments/report.php?c=3828345', 400, 400)"></a></p>

		<description>Some quotes: â€œStability is an unworthy American mission, and a misleading concept to boot. We do not want stability in Iran, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, and even Saudi Arabia; we want things to change. The real issue is not whether, but how to destabilize.â€ [Wall Street Journal, 9/4/2002]
â€œNo stages. This is total war. We are fighting a variety of enemies. There are lots of them out there. All this talk about first we are going to do Afghanistan, then we will do Iraq ... this is entirely the wrong way to go about it. If we just let our vision of the world go forth, and we embrace it entirely and we donâ€™t try to piece together clever diplomacy, but just wage a total war ... our children will sing great songs about us years from now.â€ [American Enterprise Institute, 10/29/2001]</description>

		<description>This is cross posted from another thread. I thought it important to post it here as well.

If anyone is interested in reading Cindy Sheehanâ€™s blog entry at DailyKos yesterday, here is the URL:

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2007/5/28/12530/1525

As of now there have been 1255 responses in the comments section. The response is 100% positive, understanding and empathetic. I read several hundred posts and found the experience very uplifting. Cindy is suffering a common reaction called â€œBurnout.â€ She needs rest and time out which she will get. I predict she will return to the fight again in her own way in the future.

		<description>&lt;em&gt;It takes someone whoâ€™s soul is dead to say what you have here. Mark Twain had you pegged Jake. &lt;strong&gt;â€œDied at 30, buried at 60,â€&lt;/strong&gt; is how he put it. Just so you know, you are truly beginning to stink and the stench from your posts is awful.

Perfect.  I&#039;ll remember that one.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;You got it! They stated before 9/11 that unless a pearl Harbor like event happened it would take perhaps a generation to achieve their goals (Plan A). That event happened; they were prepared for it and proceded pell mell to put their Plan into motion.

I knew they were evil, but I never realized just how evil they really are.

Thanks, Merlin.</description>

		<description>Excellent post Merlin.
These bastards are not afraid to put in writing any of their projected schemes, strategies, pornographic fantasies (Libby&#039;s Japanese caged bear), or their preferred  modus operandi.
We have the PNAC declarations (New Pearl Harbour) and a host of other incriminating evidence of their treason, yet they still get away with mass murder.
With some exceptions (Chimpy, Gonzales, Miers etc.) there are many who one must admit have a high level of intellectual capacity. These are not stupid in the way that the imbecile commander guy is stupid. These are cold, calculating and clever operators, whose hubris has overcome their common sense that would have kept their evil designs under wraps, away from the eyes of the observant true patriots. They are showing us all that we are powerless, rubbing our noses in the shit that they publish.
It is high time that the good men do something.
In clearing the shit out of the pigsty I fear that many will have to pay the ultimate price, but as  thousands have just paid that price for the lies of these treasonous PNAC, AIPAC, Israeli firsters, there is no alternative.
The enemy is domestic and foreign, DC/Israel. 
As Sharon to Peres stated 3 October 2001: &quot; Don&#039;t worry, we control America&quot;. (IAP News).
The cleaning process is likely to be a much bloodier affair than the first civil war, but if the patient is to be saved, then all the cancer has to be cut out, all of it.</description>
