A growing movement that experts believe could end up in the criminalization of Christianity in the United States is being exposed in a new documentary being prepared for airing on October 26, officials at Coral Ridge Ministries have announced.
"Hate Crime Laws" is a half-hour exposé that shows how Christians in America, Canada, Australia, and Sweden have been arrested and prosecuted for expressing opinions that are rooted in the Bible regarding homosexual conduct, Islam or other topics about which Scriptures express clear teachings.
"On the surface, hate crime laws might sound like a good idea," said Jerry Newcombe, of Coral Ridge, who hosts the special. "After all, none of us advocates hatred or violence against another person. But if you look below the surface, suddenly you realize that these laws are really thought crime laws."

Persecution might be coming but I do know we serve a God who meets our every need especially in times of difficulting.
Some gashead in my neighborhood with the obligatory Got Hope? and Obama ‘08 stickers on their car also had one with this pithy sentence: “When fascism comes to America it will he wrapped in the flag and holding the cross.” How vicious and insulting. I would like to see a sticker saying “Fascism is coming to America using the words hope and change.” But any car with that on it would probably be firebombed.
Yes, and , if elected, he would start with the Fairness Doctrine to silence the opposition.
With the onslaught attacks of Joe the plumber, ppl should see how violent the left becomes over questioning. They are rabid.
Notice ...they never address the issues, but attack and demonize any opposing viewpoint.
This is just another example of what will happen under an Obama presidency.
Is the McCain/Palin ticket against the so-called “Fairness Doctrine”?
Thanks in advance.
Yes, he is opposed to the so called Fairness Doctrine...and I think the name is misleading....it is a violation of the First Amendment:
Here’s what John McCain says:
“Since President Reagan’s repeal of the ‘Fairness Doctrine,’ the number of talk radio shows nationwide has grown from fewer than 100 to over 1,000 today. In addition to talk radio, Americans are able to find opposing viewpoints in more places than ever before, including the Internet.With the great number of media sources available today, divergent viewpoints do not have to be offered on the same radio or television show, but can be found simply by channel surfing, reading a newspaper or browsing an Internet blog. The legislation would prevent the Federal Communications Commission from reinstating the ‘Fairness Doctrine,’ a regulation that had required broadcasters to present opposing viewpoints on issues of public importance. This regulation had a chilling affect on free speech, and it is hard to imagine that the American people would support reinstating a policy where the Federal government would be required to police the airwaves to ensure differing viewpoints are offered.”
They have to get around this first without a two thirds majority. Never happen!
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution
“But any car with that on it would probably be firebombed.”
Which would only validate your message. Obama is a fascist, and he brings fascism. Those are the facts, they are undisputed
It has started already without the benefit of amending the constitution. Just label it a hate-crime to get around it. I don't believe any cases have gone as far as SCOTUS yet, but since there is so much legislation from the bench, it is just a matter of time before it happens. A case in point is the Philadelphia Five who were arrested, Bibles in hand, to protest the gay-rights parade.

The radical left, communists, Libs, Muslims, the ACLU and CAIR are working day and night to wipe out Christianity in America.

15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.
27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with “social” religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a “religious crutch.”
28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of “separation of church and state.”
Dont let it happen.
Let your voice be heard!

As a Christian, I fully believe that persecution is coming to the United States for proclaiming the name of Christ. Western believers, myself included, fail to remember that Christians are already persecuted in most parts of the world. I take comfort in knowing that my God has all things under His control and that when the persecution does come, I am in His flock.
Hating is not a crime. If someone hates people because of their race or any other reason that is their right. However they are NOT ALLOWED to act on their hate through violence or violate the rights of those they hate.
It’s still a free country (for now).
