Opelika Widow Mourns Soldier

The bolded part of this story will make you sick.

Opelika Widow Mourns Soldier

Sergeant Christopher Taylor hugged and kissed his wife the day he left for Balad, Iraq. They were a happy couple, full of laughter and love. However, Janina sits with their son and daughter alone today. Her husband was killed by mortar rounds Sunday while leaving a bunker.

She was expecting him home next month.

“God has been helping me get through this a great deal. If it wasn’t for God, I don’t know how I’d be right now,” said Taylor.

She said her husband was completely devoted to his family.

“He was a great husband. I loved him to death, and I still do,” said Taylor. “He was the best father. Every child would’ve wanted a father like him. He always played with the kids. Especially his little son. He just loved to wrestle with him.”

Here comes the sick part folks … hold on to your keyboards.

A controversial pastor, Fred Phelps, is planning a protest at Taylor’s funeral. Phelps leads the Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kansas. He’s known for his strong anti-homosexual stance, but Taylor was not gay. Phelps said America is being taken over by homosexuals, and killing soldiers is how God is punishing the nation.

Some people just need to be shot on sight. I went to this idiots site, and no — I won’t be linking it here — and was sickened by the first part enough to just hit the X and leave. Felt like I needed a bath actually.

  1. Thank God Catherine KNOLL is not a Florida official. If this pastor(?) does show up to protest this soldier’s funeral, I sincerely hope there will be someone present to beat a little Christianity into him. The widow, family and friends deserve to bury this brave man with dignity, not have their memories of this solemn ceremony tainted by the actions of an idiot who, in my opinion, is as bad as any radical mullah.

  2. Phelps is crazier than a pissant. I lived in northeast Kansas for about 5 years and he was always in the news about one thing or another.
