Does that mean I can no longer have any bad thoughts?

It sounds like the “government” is attempting to take away our First Amendment rights. Those rights belong to us and they are not granted by the so-called “govenment.” IT’S OUR JOB TO TELL THEM NO! This must be “the right direction” the Commie ‘RATS are always talking about.

I intensely dislike the words “hate crime” because that’s the same as “irregardless”, i.e., no such thing.

HATE CRIMES = THOUGHT CONTROL

It really is that simple

This means we'll all have to take dramatic action in order to preserve our freedom if we perceive someone is "offended" by our free speech.

Lock and load...

Notice that it doesn’t protect Mohammedans - and they are not protected. So, we are “free” to hate them as much as we want.

This is certainly an Orwellian “thought crimes” bill — but it does not contain ANY of the specific perversions listed in one of the comments. The bill is bad enough, no one needs to lie about what is actually in it — that just gives the other side ammunition against us. Check out S. 1105 for yourself at www.loc.gov, by clicking on the “THOMAS” link and typing in the bill number.

In regard to the Roberts' story, although an apology was given by the Wyre Borough Council, the wording of the council's statement is disturbing and points to the social unhealthiness of this community:

"The council is committed to a policy of tolerance and equal treatment for all - including those holding strong religious views."

So now, those with "strong religious views" are the outsiders to be tolerated, not two men who want to treat each other's anuses as vaginas and then have the government by force of law call it "normal," notwithstanding all sound scientific findings to the contrary. Who would have thought this could ever be the case?

And as England goes, so goes the U.S.
