crowdog66 ◾ ◾ A letter to Fred Phelps

From Daily Kos, in reponse to the Westboro Baptist Church's plan to come up to Winnipeg and picket at Tim McLean's funeral...

Never one to pass up a notable funeral in order to spew his sewage, Freddy and the Family was planning on coming up to demonstrate, to show, and I quote, that Canadians are "cannibals and highway decapitaters", God's punishment for not killing all our gays, or something.

Typical stuff.

Unfortunately, Fred overlooked two teensy-tiny little issue.

We're not part of the United States. Entering the country is not an inherent right. And, as of now, it's a right that Westboro Baptist Church does not have. The border guards have been alerted to Phelps's planned trip and have been specifically ordered to keep him, his family, and other members of WBC out of the country.

Normally, I'm not one to give the Conservatives much credit, but on this occasion, simple decency has prevailed and some credit is warranted. McClean's family and friends, nor the city of Winnipeg, don't need Phelps's toxic presence.

But we do have a reputation as a polite society to uphold, so please allow me to attach a message for Fred:

Dear Reverend Phelps,
We do apologize for the fact that you won't be able to visit our beautiful country at what it perhaps the nicest time of year. However, please accept the following heartfelt expression in lieu of the right to drop in: fuck you, you ignorant, hateful, shitheaded fucking prick.

Yours truly, asswipe;
Canada.

I couldn't have said it better myself.
