We've all heard about Fred Phelps, the wacko that has his family out picketing soldier's funerals and holding up signs of hatred against gays and... well, just about everyone.
One of his estranged sons, Nate Phelps, gave an interview and a speech several weeks ago. They hold some very eye-opening accounts of his father and the life he left behind, as well as his recent views on world events. It's also an interesting glimpse of coming to terms with his own internal struggles. You really feel for him after reading these.
