Another Documentary: America's Most Hated Family

WARNING: The following contains foul language and very bizarre thinking. May also cause outrage.


I really don't want to give these people any more exposure than they’ve already had, but since this blog is all about lunacy and things that I find just plain nuts, I can’t resist.

About 2 years ago the BBC did a really, um, interesting documentary on a religious cult that's become America's most hated family - at least that's the title of it.

They're known for protesting the funerals of AIDS victims, murdered Amish children, and soldiers killed in Iraq and Afghanistan to name a few, by holding signs and screaming, “Soldiers are fags,” “God hates fags/soldiers/Muslims/Jews,” and “Thank God for dead soldiers." And they're still at it today.

They also call themselves Christian. No, sorry, the only true Christians.

The mother, Shirley Phelps-Roper (crazy lady extraordinaire), even has the smallest of her 11 children saying those things and waving signs...and they don’t even know what they mean! Obviously Crazy Lady doesn’t even know what she’s talking about. (She’s crazy after all). There's definitely some serious brainwashing going on there.

Their entire belief system, or whatever you want to call it, is just another case of I’m right and you’re wrong, with absolutely no intelligent (or even slightly human)things being said – aside from Louis Theroux piping in with Reason and all the passersby flipping them off.


This is just part 1/8, but I promise there isn’t a dull moment.

Watch This: Canadian in Afghanistan

In my last post, “Make Jobs, Not War,” I mentioned that I know some people who have fought in Iraq. One of them is a guy I went to middle school with named Glen Villa. (And he was actually in Afghanistan. Sorry for the mix-up.)

While flipping through channels one day back in January, I saw Glen in a CBC documentary, "Fighting Ghosts,” which showed clips of his video journal from Afghanistan.

But what I remember most about that broadcast when it actually aired – I mean, besides the scary horrible realness of the footage – was that at the end, Peter Mansbridge said the military wasn’t exactly upset with Glen for sharing his experiences, but asked him not to speak to the news media anymore.

Pshh! If anything, this is what the news media should be showing. But since it’s “not allowed” or whatever (*cough bull@#$% cough*) there’s no reason I can’t post it here.

It’s really good and I want to encourage everyone to watch it!
