I heard about something like this on Michael Savage's show. He said the Bible could be considered hate speech in Canada and therefore banned.

Leftists would like to ban all speech of which they do not approve.

From Family.org ...

Mark Early, Virginia's former attorney general, recently pointed out that when his state passed a law restricting partial-birth abortions, a judge placed an injunction on the law almost before the ink was dry — and the same happened in many other states.

Mounting evidence suggests that some of our courts are fully enforcing certain laws and only winking at others.

Where will this special treatment lead? If we look to Canada, our neighbor to the north that led us down the aisle to homosexual "marriage," freedom of speech is the next target. Canada's House of Commons passed Bill C-250 last fall, which adds homosexuals to the list of those protected from "hate speech." (The bill has not yet been voted on by the Senate). Sweden already has a similar law.

And just how is "hate speech" defined?

In June 2001, the Saskatchewan Human Rights Board of Inquiry ordered one of its residents to pay a $4,500 fine for running an ad in a local newspaper which referred to verses from the Bible that condemn homosexual practices. The verses weren't even quoted.
