On February 21st, Canadians from all across Canada will gather in Newfoundland for TheCRY St. John’s. St. John’s is the place where the very first explorers set foot centuries ago claiming Canada for God and for their king who had sent them on a missionary journey to the ‘new found land.’ Hundreds of years later, the cry of these explorers will be echoed by Christians from every denomination and generation as they raise their voices and claim this nation once again “for GOD and for King,” declaring as our Founding Fathers did that, “[Jesus Christ] will have dominion from sea to sea…” (Psalm 72:8).

The Republicans might have overplayed their emphasis on the Religious Right, with the nomination of controversial Sarah Palin turning on evangelical voters — while turning off the rest.
But in Canada Stephen Harper, an evangelical Christian, is so far playing his religious cards right. He’s built an impressive coalition of church-going evangelicals, Catholics and even mainline Protestants, according to polling by Angus Reid Strategies.

It was reported early that Canada was going to attempt to stop them. It is my hope that they find some way to keep them and ship then to the Tundra while there is still one to ship them to.

Westboro Baptist Church is neither a ‘church’ nor a Christian. It is not fundamentalist either.
Timmins Daily Press – Ontario, CA.
Members of a notorious U. S. fundamentalist church are coming to Winnipeg to picket at the funeral of Tim McLean Jr. on Saturday.
Shirley Phelps-Roper, the daughter of Pastor Fred Phelps who heads the Westboro Baptist Church from Kansas, said McLean’s murder was God’s response to Canadian policies that allow homosexuality, abortion and adultery.
“God is punishing Canada,” she said. “Is it legal to have abortions up there? They are teaching you that God is a big fat liar (by making sins legal). God sent that guy to do it.”
“What we’re doing is trying to connect dots,” Phelps- Roper told Sun Media.
“We’re trying to get you to see that your rebellion against the standards of God, your disobedience to the commandments — your idols, your false gods, your filthy ways have brought wrath upon your head.”
Doug Mitchell, a friend of McLean’s for about seven years, said “People are absolutely outraged about it.”
The group has held pickets a n d protested on issues throughout Canada and the U. S., commonly with only a small handful of people in attendance.
Phelps-Roper said about seven church members are expected to come to Winnipeg.
In 1999, the group burned a Canadian flag and protested in Ottawa following the Supreme Court ruling which ordered Ontario to include same-sex couples in the definition of spouse.
Over the past few years, members of the Westboro Baptist Church have upset Americans coast-to-coast by showing up at the funerals of U. S. soldiers carrying large “God Hates America” signs. The church claims U. S. soldiers are killed to punish the country for its “disobedience to God and filthy manner of life.” Last January, they picketed the funeral of Hollywood actor Heath Ledger because he played a homosexual character in the movie “Brokeback Mountain.”
The church has also developed a reputation for not always following through on protests.
“If it’s not a hoax, then they’re morally deranged,” said Arthur Schafer, director of the University of Manitoba’s Centre for Professional and Applied Ethics.
Mitchell said he and other friends are disturbed by the church’s plans.
He said he hopes members of the church don’t attend the funeral for his friend who was murdered and decapitated aboard a Greyhound bus last week. “When it comes to the (Westboro) Baptist Church, they don’t even deserve to be on the same page as Tim McLean. He was too great a guy,” said Mitchell.

I have found myself really coming to like these types of posts. It allows me to say more with less. After all, the best commentary to this world is actions that we see.
As I posted earlier… A response to Todd’s defense letter. Of course, you will always have those people that defend him against scripture and sanity. And more in Todd and the Glass Eyeball

And even with all of the Todd garbage, this still makes me sick, not that I put much faith the those apostates, I mean ‘apostles‘.
