God hates Sweden plus various other countries<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pastor Fred Phelps, that prophet of the Lord, is branching out with new Web sites devoted to countries that his god hates, e.g., America<\/a>, Sweden<\/a>, Canada<\/a>, Madagascar<\/a>, Nepal<\/a>. (OK, some of those links won’t work–yet.)<\/p>\n

Here in Colorado we are blessed with occasional apparitions of Pastor Fred, probably because he can drive fast from Topeka to Colorado Springs without stopping to empty his bladder on unconsecrated ground.<\/p>\n

By comparison, James Dobson<\/a> looks like the Prince of Peace, while Ted Haggard<\/a> is the Suffering Servant. Phelps makes them look good–it’s always handy to have some loony to perform that function for you.<\/p>\n

But Phelps would probably be happier as a Wahabi Muslim, where he could get a job that fits his talents<\/a>.<\/p>\n
