The thought police are at it again.

And people always thought conservatives are the thought police.

Wrong.

Liberals have them beat them by a mile.

Not even close.

This sounds like the same organization that indicted Mark Steyn in Canada. The indictment failed but only because a wise person (not a Latina) videotaped a hearing in progress. Perhaps that could be shown here in the U.S. in paid advertising segments.

Yesterday I alerted a local conservative radio talk show host and his listeners to this bill. Please spread the word!

These Democruds are just disgusting. Can we just arrest them and send them to North Korea? I am sick of them turning this country into a s**thouse!

I hate this Congress.

[Maelstorm]

I’ll second that. Don’t despair we will stop them and we will stop our own turn coats.

**The thought police are at it again.**

I was thinking about changing my tag line, but everytime something like this appears, it makes me Leave it a bit Longer!!

[keats5]

Thanks for that. I’m not going to despair. I place my trust in God, not government.

In the comic strip SHOE, Skyler ( the eaglet ) responded to the question, why did he hate school: “I wouldn’t say that I HATE school ... Let’s just say that I dislike it with the white hot intensity of a thousand suns.”

LOL. I rarely use the term “hate”, but since this article is about a hate crimes bill, I thought I should boldly use up the last bit of my yet remaining free speech while I can still do so without being forced into the gulags.

[gargoyle]

...Don't stop there! Hate the congress that has made the laws that make themselves the spokesmen for what they will hold the citizens responsible for if the citizens critisize what they deem the peons should have the same privileges they have...
...Vote them out of office...

[Nosterrex]

This was inevitable once Congress passed the “hate laws.” Hate is now defined as anything the Statists and Socialists say it is. In the near future, discussion groups, such as FR, will be illegal. Churches that condemn homosexuality and same-sex marriage will be classified as terrorists and hate-mongers.
I had hoped that I would be dead and gone before these things would happen, but now I fear that I will be alive to see it.

Tell that to as many people as possible that conservatives are the guardians of thought liberty.

It’s the liberals that are in bed with George Orwell’s brain.
