Fred Phelps Hiding Under the Walls of the Church
I couldn’t decide to title this post what I did, or Yes, We Should Pray for Tim Russert, but I had to post something because this just made me mad. I did a post a while back called Why Pray for Senator Ted Kennedy, and Tim Russert (and his family) is no different. I don’t…
