Advanced Citizenship

(via TNC)

Fred Phelps (of "God Hates Fags" fame) is back spewing hate- protesting at the Kansas funeral of Obama's grandmother, ostensibly because she raised him to be a baby-killer.

Maybe a bit cliche, this calls to mind the great lines from the end of "American President"-

America isn't easy. America is advanced citizenship. You've gotta want it bad, 'cause it's gonna put up a fight. It's gonna say, "You want free speech? Let's see you acknowledge a man whose words make your blood boil, who's standing center stage and advocating at the top of his lungs that which you would spend a lifetime opposing at the top of yours."
