"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.

"Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, called the measure "part of a radical social agenda that could ultimately silence Christians and use the force of government to marginalize anyone whose faith is at odds with homosexuality."

U.N. Makes it a “Hate Crime” to Insult Islam;

I'm seeing a pattern here /s

There is a good and brief discussion of the unconstitutionality of the bill here:

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

The purpose of the bill is to put Christians, Jews, normalsexuals in jail for their thoughts, and to let scot free anyone who assaults Christians, Jews or normalsexuals.

hate
–verb (used with object) as in HATE CRIME
1.to dislike intensely or passionately;
feel extreme aversion for or extreme hostility toward;
to detest:
to hate the enemy;
to hate bigotry.

If someone were to dislike intensely or passionately, a pedophile, would it be a "hate crime"?

If criminalizing something that someone is passionate about is passed into law, that's the same thing as CRIMINALIZING THOUGHT.

HATE CRIME = THOUGHT CRIME

Hate Crime laws are more than an attack on free speech, they are an attempt to criminalize thought.

Barber explains that Liberty Counsel intends to challenge the constitutionality of the hate crimes legislation.

Thank you!

Maybe Obama is smarter that Congress and wont sign it.

Bwaahahahahahahahahahah I am so funny.

Why do they always make a big to-do AFTER the fact on things like this. One of the commentaries in the morning paper talked about this. We here on FR know about this stuff happening, but the average person is concentrating on jobs, family, and going about their daily lives. Had the press gone into this BEFORE it happened, MAYBE it could have been stopped. It's frustrating to say the least.

This is one area where the US has a lot to learn from muslims (and Africans, and Asians, and South Americans...)

[Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid!]

Obama is a usurper traitor.

LOL at CHARLIE BUTTS writing this.

Gotta take all the laughs we can get...
