"The Rev. Fred Phelps Sr., who founded a Kansas church that's widely known for its protests at military funerals and anti-gay sentiments, is in a care facility."
OP's note:
As much as I hate this bastard, I WILL stand for his right to say such hateful things!
as long as I have the right to rev my motorcycle to counter his speech!
Hi All,
Unreal and very much unchristian! This man took it upon himself to harass those families who had lost family members in conflicts. I don't give a flip whether a person agrees or disagrees with the reason we are there, that is no place and no way to show your like or dislike of a given action. As a matter of fact isn't this one of the reasons the Patriot Guard formed. In any case I still do not wish ill on him just common sense and some decency.

Patriot Guard,
Let’s first remember our Nation’s true Heroes. Those brave men and women of our military and first responders who gave their life so that we may enjoy the freedom to express our differences.
While it is hard to find anything good to say about his views or actions, we do give our condolences to his family during what must be a painful time for them. We take no joy in the sickness and death of any man. We do not celebrate the death of Fred Phelps. Patriot Guard Riders hope that Mr. Phelps somehow found the peace that seemed to elude him in life.
It is true that the PGR grew out of a response to protests at funerals. That's a fair statement.
However, that was 2005 and the PGR quickly learned that there was something powerful in a gathering of Americans who would simply stand and hold flags and let a family know that they were not alone. That powerful thing became our mission.
We are neither a protest nor a counter protest group. We honor fallen Heroes and those who have honorably served this free America. The presence or absence of a protest does not alter that mission.
If it not for this man and his family we might not have heeded the call to regularly honor the sacrifices of our nation’s true heroes and their families. Nor would we have come to know the brother/sisterhood that has become the Patriot Guard Riders.
Respectfully,
Robbie
