GOD HATES AMERICA & IS KILLING
OUR TROOPS IN HIS WRATH.
Military funerals have become pagan orgies of
idolatrous blasphemy, where they pray to the
dunghill gods of Sodom & play taps to a fallen fool.
This message should be peacefully
preached in respectful,
lawful proximity to the memorial of
Cpt. William DuBois Sunday, December 14th, at 10:45 a.m.
Rifle High School,1350 Prefontaine Avenue, Rifle, CO.
Cpt. DuBois gave his life for the Constitutional right of WBC to
warn America. To deny us our First Amendment rights is to declare to the world that
Cpt. DuBois died in vain, and that America is a nation of sodomite hypocrites.“Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.”(Psalm127:1)
The Lord no longer builds the American house; nor does the Lord
watch over and protect America. These soldiers are dying for
the homosexual and other sins of America.
God is now America’s enemy, and God Himself is fighting against America.
SODOMITES ABOUND: SOLDIERS DIE.

Western Colorado citizens are already responding via the "I'm Looking For In Grand Junction" Facebook page. Some Grand Junction residents have begun making plans to travel to Rifle to prevent protesters from interfering with the funeral.
