Why another day? Hate crimes laws are thought control.

If I use racist terms towards someone, then they can use them against me or fight me, the government shouldn't be able to punish me for using a racist term in a sentence or even being a racist.

Hate Crimes = Thought Crimes.

You are being punished for opinions/beliefs.

I agree. I think hate crime laws do violate free speech. I just felt it was off topic for this thread.

You are absolutely right!!!! I HATE it when these whiners go off about their 1st Amendment rights when citizens disagree with them or boycott their businesses, movies, etc. Maybe they should read the Constitution before they quote it!

“I think that’s also part of the message,” explained Virginia, noting that although the Pearcys don’t have any relatives in Iraq right now, they’re hoping that people who do will see their display and think about who’s accountable.

Virginia and Steven Pearcy, and their fellow travelers on the Left in America are responsible for the majority of the U.S. military casualties in Iraq because they made sure the "insurgents" knew that the more U.S. soldiers that were killed or wounded, the better.

Period.

I'm told that's the name of a small town in Texas...

LOL! Gads, we're mean as a box of snakes, and twice as sharp!

[an amused spectator]

I just had an evil thought: instead of tearing down the effigy, use the "hate crime laws" supported by good little Leftist lawyers like the Pearcys.

Sneak up and spray paint the effigy's face black. They'd sprain an arm tearing it down themselves.

Close to the truth too since a large percentage of soldiers are black.
