    Default Flag controversy rocks small Kansas town

    Unless you've heard about this in the news, its probably not the flag you're thinking of.

    And then Fred Phelps's band of nuclear survivors had to get involved of course...

    Well, Reverend Phelps is the best thing to come to town when it comes to fence sitters. Once they get a taste of that bitter hatred and the perversion of religion into hatred - they will find themselves admiting it is a little over the top and Phelps and his kind are not to be associated with.

    I can't wait until code pink shows up!

    I don't get this. The rainbow flag has a lot of good iconic connotation in Christianity. Of course, I doubt that's why they were flying it, haha.

    Reminds me of the protest there a few weeks ago where Pro-Lifers tore up copies of Roe Vs. Wade but also burned raibow flags and tore up the Koran.

    How the hell is burning the Koran and a rainbow flag supposed to support the pro-life agenda? If people are going to burn and protest things, shouldn't they know why they're burning them? lol...sheer ignorance. I know that they probably jumped the "anti-gay marriage" and "must support the war on terror against all muslims" bandwagons and lumped it all together to save time, but damn.
