I'm listening to THIS right now, and I am honestly so upset. It's Shirley Phelps, and she's part of the West Burrow Baptist church, the group that made the godhatesfags site, and the group that is planning on protesting all of Heath Ledger's memorial services and possibly his funeral if they can get the information on it just because he was in the movie Brokeback Mountain. This woman believes that we are fighting in Iraq because we allow gay rights in America. The group believes giant natural disasters happen because of the state of our world today... a world full of sinners beyond repentance. Katrina, the Tsunami, they even said they thanked the Lord for 9/11 because it was what sinners deserved. This woman has had an illegitimate child, yet she condemns others that have done the same thing!

The hatred she exudes just makes me sick. I am so sick of the way people treat each other these days, the differences in opinions. It's not healthy debate anymore... it's flat out hatred! Against people of color, people of different religions, people of different cultures, people of different lifestyles.... there is hatred towards everything! And I am positively ashamed to live in a nation that takes part in this! I am flat out ashamed of America and it's people. My brother tells me I'm unpatriotic and don't deserve to be an American. Well you know what? I'm fine with that. If my feelings and ideals and opinions are not accepted in the nation I live in, that I don't want to be a part of it. If people are not going to be accepted here because they are different, then I would rather go to a place where they are.

It's positively ridiculous to think that this nation was started by a desire for freedom to practice a religion... and to see where we are today. I want to weep for those ideals whenever my brother's friends make jokes and say nasty things about Somali people, or Muslim people, Or Jewish or Mexican or Asian people. Everyone came here looking for freedom, and just look at what they got. And just look at what we are passing down to our children and their children. I am not just ashamed of America. I am ashamed of human kind.

And who exactly is the Bill of Rights protecting anyways?
