A 5-year-old girl hoping to add a little sugar to the bitter Westboro Baptist Church set up a lemonade stand outside its front doors not to antagonize but to spread peace.
What she got was harassment from its adult members calling her among names a "satanic liar" — as well as more than $16,000 raised toward anti-bullying programs from supporters across the U.S.
"Jayden and I went out there to raise money for Planting Peace," her father, Jon Sink, told WBTV, referring to the nonprofit organization that owns the rainbow-painted Equality House where the two set up their stand Friday.

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
