Having witnessed the community response to some demonstrators here in Naples, I have to ask some questions.
1) Fred Phelps, the baptist preacher, can preach hate of America, that god is condemning America, etc. He even has webpages dedicated to talking about how gos hates American, and how he hopes that god will destroy the U.S. Question, if an islamic puts up a webpage dedicated to talking about how allah, and his agents, will cause the destruction of the U.S., isn't he considered a terrorist? They are both preaching for and advocating the destruction of America.
2) If pro-troop rallyers say they're demonstrating in support of keeping our people alive, then why do they demonstrate in favor of an situations where our people are dying?
3) Is there really anything wrong with a demonstration demanding that the mandates of American law be applied? There was a protest here calling for the following of the U.S. Sup. Crt.'s decision regarding habeas actions for detainees. The county sheriff's office appeared and well, that was the end of that.
4) I've often wondered if hate mongers, fear mongers, etc. have ever considered the possibility that eventually somebody will take their position farther. And, that once that person takes the position further, suddenly the originator has a problem.
5) I wonder what would happen if one day a lightning bolt set fire to Fred's church?
