Obama hails expansion of hate crimes legislation

WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama on Wednesday signed and celebrated hate crime legislation that extends protection to people based on sexual orientation, sealing a long-fought victory to gay advocates. The president spoke of a nation becoming a place where "we're all free to live and love as we see fit."

The new law expands federal hate crimes to include those committed against people because of gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or disability. It also loosens limits on when federal law enforcement can intervene and prosecute crimes, amounting to the biggest expansion of the civil-rights era law in decades.

"No one in America should ever be afraid to walk down the street holding the hands of the person they love," Obama said in East Room reception, surrounded by joyous supporters.

Onliest homosexual ever kilt in this neighborhood on account of his sexual inclinations was a male school teacher.

His equally homosexual partner had inserted a baseball bat (handle end first) into the guy's rectum and wiggled it around until he stopped moving.

Why do I imagine this is frequently a cause of death in male homosexuals?

I really doubt the Thought Crimes bill is going to stop this sort of thing.

It's a slap in the face of the Constitution.

Funny thing, I remember hearing that California’s Proposition 8 did as well as it did because of the huge turnout of black voters who voted Obama on race but voted values on issues. Is this going to sit well with the black community now?

I don’t think he could get a very good grip on his bat, seeing the handle end was rammed up the other guys’ pooper.

The editor must have changed the original copy: "surrounded by gay supporters."

Hate Crimes is Orwellian Newspeak. It is nothing more than Big Brother saying to the masses that certain thoughts are outlawed. The state determines not only what you say and do, but also what you think. Hate Crimes really means that Big Brother hates people that think about anything Big Brother deems as criminal. Big Brother, or should we now say Bro’?, will not stop until biblical based faith is made a Hate Crime. It may not happen tomorrow, but the hand writing is on the wall.

So...while our brave soldiers are dying in Iraq and Afghanistan thanks in part to his indecisiveness, Obama instead gets himself in a twitter over some useless piece of legislation. We know where his priorities are.

Is this going to sit well with the black community now?

It may not sit well with all of them initially, but come election time or whenever 0bozo needs their support, it will be the same 95% black community ignorant dumb asses and/or race baiters, who will vote for him all over again, just like the 78% of Jews who would pull the lever for 0bozo again in a heartbeat, no matter what he does to Israel. 0bozo could rape, murder, pillage & plunder on national & international TV, and yet to the 95% blacks or 78% of Jews who voted for him the first time, it would make no difference. They would do it all over again just to see a so-called "brothah" stick it to the white man. It makes no difference if they are being hurt the worst by this super-elitist, arrogant, prideful, narssistic, aloof, billionaire banger 0bozo, they will vote for him en masse all over again. The only way they wouldn't (or demoRAT socialist-leftists in general) would be if 0bozo miraculously had a genuine born-again Christian salvation experience, and renounced & repented of his evil, Satanic, socialist ideology and worked to overturn his own socialist programs. THEN you would see the MSM and socialists throughout the world turn on 0bozo with a horrific vengence & hatred.

” “No one in America should ever be afraid to walk down the street holding the hands of the person they love,” Obama said “

Barry is preparing Americans to see him walking hand in hand with Reggie Love.
It’s only a matter of time.
That framed picture Gibbs was holding last week of Barry and Reggie was a clothed example of their affection.

Civil Rights legislation was supposed to be all about protecting people with characteristics they couldn't do anything about.

Like the color of their skin.

Homosexuality is a choice. True, there may be a few mutants who swing that way genetically, but such a trait is not a survivable one. In what way would it reproduce? it's an occasional mutation.

So it's something they could change. But don't want to, cuz it's their chosen (deviant) lifestyle.

And now it's a choice that outweighs the natural one.

Guess the whole civil rights gig was a lie to legitimize criminal behavior.

But I think most people here have figured that out.
