One more step closer to the THOUGHT POLICE! Or should I say "GESTAPO" ??
reading "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich" right now.
Hate crimes are very valuable tools for socialists.
A crime is a crime. Trying to assign some sort of alternative motive is silly, dangerous, and ultimately foolish.
Soon it will be a crime to speak against either major party....then what, I know, but according to a majority its tinfoil hat stuff.
"GESTAPO" is the right word
Note this is happening through a Republican congress. What good is electing Republicans if this type of thing passes and government keeps growing at rates not seen since the Lyndon Johnson administration?
