Could Westboro Baptist Be the Next Jonestown?

Earlier this month, The Dept. of Homeland Security (DHS) released a report stating that the ailing economy and the election of Barak Obama is fueling a rise in membership in right-wing extremist organizations. The report went on to say that DHS had "no specific information that domestic right-wing terrorists are currently planning acts of violence". Really? Well they do now.

As first posted by blogger Gossip Boy, the haters at the Westboro Baptist Church, lead by Fred "God Hates Fags" Phelps, may be planning to drink the Koolaid - for reals. Or will they choose to go out in a blaze of glory, taking a few innocent bystanders with them?

In a cryptic message posted on the group's blog, God's chosen morons are throwing in the towel and declaring their mission over. Having lost a major law suite, the "church" is on the verge of bankruptcy and founder Phelps' health is failing. Here's some of what was posted on their blog:

BECAUSE IT’S ALMOST TIME TO LEAVE…THAT’S WHY DUMMY!

We are particularly urgent about it, because the time is shortly to come when we will grant you your wicked wish, Doomed america!

Let us see how that is shortly now to play out, my angry little sodomite-loving friends. It’s about time for us to leave this place.

When we’re done, we will leave your filthy land and be placed safely out of the reach of the horror that will then land upon you swiftly and certainly – in one hour.

We pray it to be any day now, for the promises of our God are sure and certain. We finished our job in Napa County – one of the few we have left – and then went to tell the Saints of our God-blessed exploits and our joy.

We gotta go, peeps! We gotta go! And when we do, it’s time for this filthy nation to receive of all the plagues that your Creator has promised. The reason there is such urgency in those words … such passion in the irresistible call from our Saviour, Husband, and Friend … is because when that time comes for this rebellious nation – which is spiritually called Babylon and has become literally Babylon by the inexplicable and forcible snatching of that Mesopotamian land where ancient Babylon sat – it is going to be very fast and very violent, such that all mankind is utterly and simply amazed. Check out the words, fools … it’s all about the words!

Some might say this is good riddance to bad rubbish, but let's not forget, these wackos have kids. I hope DHS is paying attention to what could be a major tragedy.
