House agrees to muzzle pastors with 'hate crimes' plan
WorldNetDaily.com ^ | April 30, 2009

Members of the U.S. House today approved a plan to create a federal "hate crimes" plan that will provide special protections to homosexuals and others with alternative sexual choices, but leave Christian ministers and pastors open to prosecution should their teachings be linked to any subsequent offense, by anyone, against a "gay."

The vote was 249-175, and came despite intense Republican opposition to the creation of the privileged class.

Bishop Harry Jackson Jr. of the High Impact Leadership Coalition also condemned the action, offering a warning about the future of the United States.

“ONGRESS SHALL MAKE NO LAW RESPECTING AN ESTABLISHMENT OF RELIGION, OR PROHITING 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.”

Now, what part of that do the princes and princesses in Congress not understand?

Those who cannot learn from history, are doomed to repeat it. Read the bible, look at Sodom and Gomorra (not sure of spelling).

If Miss California, Carrie Prejean, who supports traditional marriage had slapped the homosexual judge who derided her on the stage under H.R. 1913 she could be indicted as a “violent hate criminal,” facing a possible 10 years in prison. But, Forbes said, if the homosexual judge had slapped her, she would have had no special protection under H.R. 1913.

You mean, Rev Anti-White? Wonder if they’re gonna have a hate bill against hating whites (or Jews)? Nah, didn’t think so.

but she can still verbally slap him...which she wouldn’t do because she is sooo way above perez. Instead on the talk show she heaped ‘burning coals’ on his head by addressing the issue in love saying he was a hurt, angry person and she was praying for him.

Every congress person who voted for this will undoubtably vote for tha gagging of talk show radio. Yet all of talk radio was busy watching Obama’s right hand rapping on H1D1 the so called “swine” flue, and Obama’s 101 days. Instead of watching Obama’s left hand (the hand to watch) while they slip past these constitutionally questionable bills.

They passed this under color of the Commerce Clause, just like the AWB.

As long as the New Deal interpretaion of the Commerce Clause stands, they can do pretty much anything they want. Their power to regulate commerct will trump your rights to free exercise of religion, free speech and association, the keeping and bearing of arms, and eventually all the rest if they are not stopped.

Remember this has to be a crime...and I think we need to be bold in exercising our free speech rights by stating our opinion - but be careful not to get drawn into arguments that can escalate into violence

Martin Luther's defining moment came as he stood before the Diet of Worms and spoke those simple words. Words which sparked Christendom’s reformation. Think of the courage required to stand before an assemblage claiming the power of life, death, and eternal damnation, and yet remain steadfast in your faith despite being offered an easy out: simply “recant.” So too with Ms. Prejean. Keep the faith, everybody. “The Lord is my shepherd...”
