Democrats Castigate "Anti-Muslim"Speech In Proposed Legislation

As ISIS rises, Democrat politicians forge down a slippery slope to destroy America’s First Amendment and prohibit all discussion of Islamic terrorism. After the San Bernadino ISIS-inspired terrorist attack, which left 14 dead and 22 others injured, Attorney General Loretta Lynch, America’s top law enforcement attorney, explained that her biggest fear was not more ISIS-inspired terrorist attacks, but “the rise of anti-Muslim rhetoric."

(James Comey, Director of the FBI, who is usually strong on law enforcement, told the Muslim community, “if someone is terrorizing you based on your religion, let us know,” - conflating the mass murder of terrorist attacks with harsh words that might hurt someone’s feelings.)

Hilarious and ridiculous.

The legislation is proposed and won’t pass if we have Republican legislators who have the gonads to squash it.

Any legislation that specifically names a single religion as “protected” and doesn’t afford the SAME protection to other religions is on its face, patently unconstitutional.

It violates the very dictates of the establishment clause. The proposed law establishes a protected religion (thereby effectively creating an OFFICIALLY SANCTIONED national religion).

My first act as a representative (if I were) if this abortion made it out of committee to the floor would be to force an amendment that adds ALL religions, specifically naming Christianity first. Then see what the Democrats do.

Yet, DemocRATS have taken no similar action to benefit US Christians and Jews.

But what about anti-infidel speech?

There simply is no solution to the problem of Islamic terrorism that doesn’t involve consequences which accrue to all Muslims.

We have not the ability to read minds, so it’s a matter of survival that we be allowed to profile. The burden should be on Muslims to change this reality.

They really want Western Civilization destroyed in the worst way. They can’t tolerate having their foot soldiers criticized, even a little bit.

Good point. Where are all the “separation of church and state” supporters?

Right. A single officially PROTECTED religion is tantamount to an OFFICIALLY endorsed religion.

No such concern at all for Bible-based faiths. Nothing.

That is EXACTLY what is happening.

Hopefully, that will all end come November 2016 when Trump is voted in.

The language I've seen used to describe the situation (which we are constitutionally to avoid) is "excessive entanglement". We are definitely entangled - and deliberately so.

Ah, but they don't dare afford Christians the same protections they want for Muslims. If they do, then they can no longer force Christians to bake cakes for gays, subsidize abortions, etc.

I mean, it's not like 'rats aren't above a little (or a lot of) hypocrisy... I think they're just trying to head it off a little earlier here.

Christians are in the way of their Globalist dreams. Once they stamp us out, the only ones left to remove will be Jews and Israel.

Where do you think this hate really stems from?

They're showing all their true colors for everyone to see in their last gasps for air in a failed administration.

Bye Bye Felicia!
