Subject: RE: BS: The republicans (US)
Joe, I didn't write that, however I am not sure I agree with you. It would have been horrible if a bunch of folks hadn't been there to protest against phelps and his gang when we had Mathew Shepherd's funeral in Casper. It would have been unconscionable.

From what my friend says, there are plenty of people like the above group in Texas; towns even more conservative than Amarillo. I don't know how anyone could organize quiet, peaceful, clever ways of making them look ridiculous. THEY consider themselves to be Christian and so do those around them. Making them look inane would be a hard sell there, imo. We could do so from outside their bailiwick but I am not sure that would have much effect on them, directly.

I don't think we can remain silent.
