Shirley Roper

You guys seen this? I can't even watch it anymore, it just raises my blood pressure. I get so pissed off I want to throw the monitor.

Shirley Roper is a member, or the leader, not sure, but of some Baptist Church group, the Church has less than 100 members, and 80% of them are family. They protest soldiers' funerals by bringing signs like "Don't worship the dead!", they promote phrases like "Thank God for 9/11!" and "Fags poison nations."

I mean its absolutely sick, and she thinks its totally legit, she says G(g)od(s) [sorry trying to be PC!] "weapon" against us are events like 9/11, to try to show us how we're living wrong or SOMETHING like that, anyways, take a peek.

By the way: I know we have soldiers on this board so I just wanted to post a little disclaimer that this might be pretty upsetting. The same goes for homosexuals.

I just absolutely love how Hannity and Colmes treat her.

There was a guy on some show a while ago that was against us getting payed BAS, BAH, and COLA.

(Without going into details BAS payes for our food, BAH pays rent and a few bills, and COLA gives us more money for cost of living.)

Needless to say he was mad at us for signing up and getting the extra pays, and not the government for authorizing it. It was pretty funny watching the host rip into him about going against the people who fight for his freedom and not the people who make the decisions.

I will have to watch the link later; I can see it at work. But thanks for posting it. I know most people support the troops, and there will always be people who don't. It is disturbing seeing the average intelligence of our nation going down. Its also unfortunate that people are so caught up in their own misery that they can't see the big picture.

okay....i'm not sure what to say about that woman, i don't think i can put it exactly into words what I think of her. She odviously had a crazy father or grandfather that started all of this, sheltered her and polluted her mind with all this bullshit. I believe that is the only way a person could get like that, they just don't feel that strongly about something so ignorant without a fucked up upbringing!! sorry for the language but thats just how it came out when i typed it. The whole church is a nuthouse!! OH yeah, GOD does NOT HATE!! That is how I was taught anyway...

Yeah joey I'm with you.

In the Italian Job (or maybe its a famous quote) they say "I trust everyone...it's the devil inside them I don't trust" and I've always believed that, but I wanted to make my own quote a little more personalized. This video did it:

"I trust everyone...it's their upbringing I'm hesitant about"

Honestly we are all born the same. Nobody is born a conservative, Jewish, or racist. Honestly I don't see how you can disagree with the fact that everyone is a product of how they were raised. Most people (most, not all by any means) follow their parents' idealogies, but that's just scratching the surface. How about rapists? Psychopaths? Serial Killers? I believe it's all in the upbringing.

Woo I'm glad I made my little phrase, I don't like the word choice though, that will be changed.

I smell a freak cult in the making led by some holier-than-though wacked bitch who needs a good ass whoopin' before she get's out of hand. I must say I am not the most religious or patriotic person but I do respect what all the members of the armed forces do for us and as a former member of the USAF I know what the job is about and what it takes to stand up with your hand in the air and swear to protect this country and the people who populate it and I also know how easy it is for others (particularly that sociopath) to take that for granted. I also think that not only is it disrespectful and incredibly ungratefull of her to do this to the people who have died to give her the "right" to do what she is doing but it's a cowardly move to try and hide behind the constitution saying that it's freedom of speech. I am all for freedom of speech but am totally against freedom of stupidity and I think that her and her loopy little minions should be branded morons and then imprisoned for the damage they are doing to the minds of the children I saw in the video holding signs that they couldn't even understand...

Miss Roper to teach hatred to a childe is to fuel the flames of ignorance and for that mam' you have commited a sin and your disease will only be cured when people learn to love one another unconditionally.

i'm with team ai.... i'm not religious (at all) or the most patriotic but even i think what they are doing is just plan wrong. its disgusting that they use God as an excuse to be so hateful. Thats a perfect example of religious extremeism.... its the same exact behavior/way of thinking as islamic terrorist grioups, imo

Dude google her name. She is married to her brother. Talk about up bringing.

"This means that Brent Roper is both the "brother" and husband of Shirley Roper."

I have that video clip if anybody wants it. of the dumb ass on fox saying how we're all over paid and what not not. Unbelieveable. As for that church group ... there's a motor cycle club who rides around and blocks the church group from getting near the funerals. At least I know they've managed to get involved in a couple. That bitch needs to be shot!
