'Hate crimes' law definitions would protect 547 sex 'philias'
The leader of a pro-family organization says families across the nation need to contact their U.S. senators now to try to derail a legislative plan that already has passed the U.S. House and is being awaited by President Obama – after a Democrat confirmed that it would protect "all 547 forms of sexual deviancy or 'paraphilias' listed by the American Psychiatric Association."
WND columnist Janet Porter, who also heads the Faith2Action.org Christian ministry, today cited S. 909, dubbed the "Pedophile Protection Act" as an extreme danger to America.
As H.R. 1913, the House version of the so-called "hate crimes" bill was adopted on a 149-175 vote, but not before several amendments were proposed by Republicans trying to mitigate the impact of the draconian law.

Funny how they waited until AFTER the elections.....</sarcasm>
I agree. We will have to take the law into our own hands. They’re doing this because they don’t acknowledge State sovereignty, and they want to absorb local police departments to do their bidding, instead of the job they were hired for.
So, forcible rapists will be protected too, eh?
The Democrat Party...working to keep 100% of the child molester vote...successfully.
This is a huge claim and requires proof. The text of H.R. 1913 does not seem to support this interpretation. The idea of hate crimes legislation is bad enough as it is. We don’t need to use ridiculous arguments when presenting our message.
Except that the APA doesn’t treat or consider sexual orientation and paraphilia to be the same thing , so the claim is bogus.
“This is likely another example of the Democrats not reading a bill.”
What makes you think that? Do you understand Democrats, or at least their leadership? It’s obvious that they were trying to sneak this through with a bunch of higher-profile stuff.
They know EXACTLY what they’re doing. They have since 1917 and will continue to do so.
Why doesn’t the American Psychiatric Assoc go back to the day when homosexuality was listed among mental illnesses?
The quiet splat of a .22 Short.
Simple, because homosexuals have taken over that there “American Psychiatric Assoc” so they could force their beliefs on America.
You can’t make this stuff up......
Oh yes you can it’s World Net Daily!
Redefining Yellow Press Each and Every Day.
Because the APA is a Gay group.
When they started pushing for gay marriage, we warned that pedophilia and polygamy and worse would follow.
For that, we were branded alarmists, reactionaries, fear mongers.
Here we are. The pinnacle of moral decay. Behavioral permissiveness condoned by our leaders.
Upon fleeing the burning ruins of America, don’t look back lest ye be turned to a pillar of salt.
Let’s not jump to conclusions based on a report from World Nut Daily.
I just scanned all four versions of this bill and I don’t find anything like that in the bill.
http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c111:H.R.1913:
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not for the bill as it is, but let’s not go running around frantic over something that’s not there.
If I’m missing this, please let me know, I’ve been wrong before.
During the last several minutes of the hearing, Rep. Louis Gohmert (R-Texas) tried to object to the committee’s burying of language that would have excluded child-molesting homosexuals, but it was a lost cause. The Judiciary voted to pass the hate bill without protective language so that any homosexual can claim special protection even when it comes to children. What other forms of dangerous practices will be afforded federal protections under the law? Before the debate was ended, Gohmert wondered aloud if parents, who attacked a homosexual pedophile who had been preying on their child, could now be prosecuted under federal hate crime laws.

Please see this commentary: Senate: Filibuster 'Pedophile Protection Act' now!
In that piece, there are links to YouTube videos of actual House Judiciary Committee hearings where amendments to explicitly exclude pedophiles and other paraphiles (i.e., perverts) from protection under this bill. By party line votes, the amendments were rejected. Another bill was put forward to include hate crime protections for veterans because of their status as veterans. In addition to rejecting that amendment, the Congressman who offered that amendment was subjected to a severe tongue-lashing by Congresswoman Wasserman-Schultz.
Alcee Hastings made the following speech on the floor of the House (CR H4936-4937):
Mr. HASTINGS of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself the balance of time.
Mr. Speaker, I have been on the Rules Committee a considerable amount of time, both in the minority and in the majority, and I have seen things come to the Rules Committee that I thought were trivializing the process, but yesterday took the cake for me.
We had an amendment offered by one of our colleagues to this particular legislation. I guess it was done in a creative fashion, and certainly the author of it did spend some time looking in the dictionary or creating new terms. And I apologize to our transcriber, but I am going to put in the Record what we have to put up with in the Rules Committee.
``The term sexual orientation,'' this proposed amendment said, ``as used in this act, or any amendments made by this act, does not include apotemnophilia, asphyxophilia, autogynephilia, coprophilia, exhibitionism, fetishism, frotteurism, gerontosexuality, incest, kleptophilia, klismaphilia, necrophilia, partialism, pedophilia, sexual masochism, sexual sadism, telephone scatalogia, toucherism, transgenderism, transsexual, transvestite, transvestic fetishism, urophilia, voyeurism, or zoophilia.''
All I can say is the late-night comedians need to come up there with me sometime so that they can get into the spirit of spuriousness that comes there on certain occasions.
This is serious business. Mr. Speaker, we can't legislate love, but we can legislate against hate. This legislation may not rid us of the intolerance and prejudices that continue to taint our society, but it will provide an added deterrent to those for whom these feelings manifest themselves into acts of violence. They will be fully aware that, should they commit a hate crime, there will be no lenience and they will not slip through the cracks of the American legal system.
Further, passage of this Hate Crimes bill will increase public education and awareness and encourage Americans to report hate crimes that all too often are silent.
Mr. Speaker, this bill addresses our resolve to end violence based on prejudice, and to guarantee that all Americans, regardless of race, color, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or disability--or all of these philias and fetishes and isms that were put forward--need not live in fear because of who they are.
I urge my colleagues to vote in favor of this rule so that we continue to move this country toward fully achieving its promise of justice and liberty for all Americans.
I urge a ``yes'' vote on the previous question and on the rule.
I typically try to avoid citing WND for the same reason you do, but the links to the videos are there and can be viewed (if they can get past your firewall).
The DemRats are trying to pass a bill that literally gives more rights to pedophiles than active duty soldiers. THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE!!
Why is it unbelievable. People accused of wearing tinfoil hats have been saying for years that they'd do this kind of stuff the first chance they got. Well, they've got that chance, so they're going to do as much as they can while they can (i.e., before Dec 31, 2010).
And they claim to be the party for the children.
There needs to be a major ad campaign outlining all of the things this administration and the democrats have done so far. If the MSM won’t report it, we can get it out there in advertising. The networks are clearly hurting for money. Last Sunday there was a major golf tournament sponsored largely by none other than Billy Mays.
