    Firstly, she is obviously looney. Secondly, if the state were to make a big thing out of this it would become a big thing. Thirdly, who cares?!

    Freedom of expression. The US Supreme Court has ruled that the burning of the American flag is considered "symbolic speech" and is protected under the First Amendment to the Constitution.

    The Westboro Baptist Church appears to be one of the loonier American cults. No doubt Jesus will come in a space ship and beam them all up one of these days. Apart from burning flags they picket funerals which just about says it all about them. The less attention they receive the better.

    OP do you want to outlaw flag desecration or something?

    Dude, the Phelps crowd are complete nutters. These are people who go to funerals of KIA soldiers claiming that this is God's punishment for allowing America to tolerate homosexuality. They have several sites, including, interestingly, Godhatessweden.com

    Pay them no mind.

    Ever try to reason with a lunatic?
    So she is a stupid, racist radical religous fundamentalist. Give her flags of the world and see what she does with them. Who cares?
    A huge amount of yanks are well educated and open minded. And sane.
    While they are in the majority they won't burn us with Gods own fire. :)

    I mentioned religion, but actually these things have very little to do with religion. Religion will serve as a vehicle to deliver their message of hate though.

    Anyone seen their website?

    http://www.godhatesireland.com/

    Sad thing is, these people are dead serious, the site is not a piss take. What's even more disheartening - even though this particular group is very over the top, the views they express are embodied by 'evangelicals' throughout America - and they make us the largest religious group in their country.

    God so does not hate Sweden. Have you seen the babe that's going to be Queen of Sweden one of these days.

    God hates the Germans, he hates the Chinese, he might even have a grudge against the Irish but he fcukin loves the Swedes.:D

    The Phelps' don't have a family tree, they have a family stump.

    I love the line :
    You can't get much more demonic than supporting an institution that damns souls to Hell on a daily basis.
    Since they (the phelps) do just that everyday
