This is just disgusting. A tribe of drunken injuns has forgotten their place and gotten uppity enough to defy the Will of God and ban Pastor Fred Phelps from witnessing at the funeral of an injun. Are they getting advice from jew lawyers now? And when did they start holding funerals? I always thought that injuns just abandoned their dead out in a field somewhere....
Pastor Phelps and all of his flock are always in our prayers. Even though they are on the liberal side, they do their best for Jesus....
N.D. tribe barring church protesters
BISMARCK, N.D. - A church group that protests at military funerals around the country will be barred from services for an American Indian soldier on a reservation, tribal officials say.
Members of the Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka, Kan., planned to demonstrate at National Guard Cpl. Young Eagle's funeral on Saturday at the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation.
Church members say the deaths of soldiers are punishment from God for the country's tolerance of homosexuals.
Tribal leaders passed a resolution Friday that prohibits the group from protesting on the reservation, said Marcus Wells Jr., chairman of the Three Affiliated Tribes.
A redskin, 25, of Mandaree, known on the reservation as Young Eagle, was killed Thanksgiving Day in Afghanistan when a grenade struck his vehicle while he was on patrol. He was a member of the 1st Battalion of the North Dakota National Guard's 188th Air Defense Artillery.
Tribal officials said he was the first member of the Three Affiliated Tribes to be killed in the war on terror.
