I remember seeing an interview with one of the Westboro Baptist Church members that had left the cult, and the interviewer asked her about her worst experiences protesting for the church. She said there was this one protest they did somewhere in the south, and it was super hot outside, and absolutely nobody paid attention to them. They were out there all day trying to be as inflammatory as possible and hardly anybody even looked at them, and it frustrated them to no end. I think about that interview every time I drive past the abortion protestors without even turning my head.

I figure those kind of people get off on confrontation and picking fights.

Once I was walking around downtown with some time to kill and was getting pretty hungry. I was trying to decide what to eat when I saw a truck down the street with a food advert on its side. It was coming towards me so the image was oblique to my viewpoint and I couldn't tell what it was. It looked saucy and roasted, like some kind of barbecue chicken. My stomach grumbled and my mouth watered. Whatever was on the side of that truck, my body was telling me it wanted to eat it. Then it pulled up in front of me. Massive twelve foot tall aborted fetus. I laughed all the way to the Korean food truck.

@nominal For sure. I can't even tell you how many times I saw the fundies on one side of the street, and locals forming a wall for women on the other.

The difference is all of the rednecks spent a day and a tank of gas to be obnoxious, and people who actually live there just walked up with bird fingers.

@radio lol amazing. There's a surprising amount of cultish Catholics in Birmingham. ETWN, the biggest Catholic TV service in the world, is based there. Mother Angelica (Rest In Piss) was their Bill O'Reilly. Pretty sure she has a video on here.

One of the cathedrals in their diocese had a van covered in dead fetus ornaments, windows lined with propaganda detailing the "New Holocaust". Sadly it was never parked near a Korean food truck.
