You go girl!!!!! This makes me smile. After years of standing flagline with the Patriot Guard Riders it makes me happy to see more people stepping up to the plate when it comes to this . . . "church" .

A 5-year-old girl who set up a lemonade stand across the street from the Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kan., on Friday raised more than $10,000 in the name of peace.

Jayden Sink, with more than a little help from her father, Jon, sold "Pink Lemonade for Peace" from her stand outside the Equality House, a rainbow-painted building across the street from the controversial church's headquarters on Friday. According to Jon, his daughter got more than $170 in cash and more than $10,000 in online donations through Crowdrise. The money went to Planting Peace, a nonprofit that owns the Equality House.

That's the way to do it. Don't sink to their level, rise above it.

Thanks for posting the story, F.U. A good read to start the week.

Give her the nobel peace prize.

If she doesn't deserve it I don't know who does.
