As host of a current events radio show, one of the things I like to do is take a hot topic in the news and turn it into a talk topic on my show.
The crusade of Shirley Phelps-Roper is no exception. As reported in The Examiner, Ms. Phelps-Roper?s church, Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka, Kan., likes to protest funerals of U.S. servicemen. She and the other followers of her father, the Rev. Fred Phelps, believe that God punishes the United States for tolerating fornication and homosexuality by killing U.S. soldiers in Iraq.
