Liberalism: Why think when you can “feel”?

The absurdity of "hate crimes" laws

From Harry Jackson:

Last Thursday, I nervously entered C-SPAN’s Washington, D.C. Studios. The program format normally includes remarks from different points of view, call-in responses from its national audience, and commentary from its host. It was a great opportunity for me to speak to the nation concerning the encroachment that a new law, HR 1592 “Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act of 2007,” represents to our freedom of speech and freedom of religion. This law promises to grant protected status to “sexual orientation” and “gender identity” – essentially mandating unequal protection under the law, which will pave the way for criminalization of thoughts and religious beliefs contrary to politically correct ideology.

I was opposed to this legislation for two reasons. First, as a Christian I am aware that this kind of legislation has opened the door to the arrest, fines, or incarceration of Christians in Sweden, Australia, Canada, and the U.S. In fact, in Philadelphia in 2004 such an incident occurred during a protest rally at a gay convention. A 75-year old grandmother of three was arrested, jailed, and charged under existing state hate crimes law for attempting to share the gospel of Jesus Christ. Ironically, no one was hurt, wounded, or even intimidated by her actions. If anything, law enforcement officials sent the citizens of their state a message – “Gays can protest, intimidate and harass anyone anywhere but Christians had better not speak.” HR-1592 would embolden this kind of law enforcement.

So-called “hate crimes” treat victims of crimes unequally under the law. As the illustration above shows, even non-violent crimes are prosecuted unequally. Basically, you have to be in one of the “favored groups” or you’re out of luck. Killing someone for having too much money wouldn’t be nearly as bad as killing someone for being black. Repeatedly punching and kicking someone for being a Chrstian could be punished much less harshly than intimidating someone for being gay. Only in lefty la-la land does that make any sense.

In short, “hate crimes” laws criminalize thought, nothing more and nothing less.

  1. ZERO TOLERANCE LAWS NEED BANNING

    BY LISA RICHARDS
    June 19, 2007

    Throughout the United States, public schools along with public buildings have “Zero Tolerance” polices states and local governments claim protect American children and adults; in reality they hurt, destroy and divide.

    Many public schools forbid students from kindergarten through college years from wearing the cross. The reason; it might greatly offend Muslims and Atheists. It is however quite acceptable for Arab Muslim terrorists to massacre 3,000 innocent Americans, and it is an absolute that Atheists destroy the Christian religious foundations of the United States; to do so is more than the standard adequate; it’s magnanimously broad-minded and progressive.

    Dragging the Ten Commandments out of public buildings while firing judges who support God’s laws is the mandate of enlightened advancement making room for naked statues of Jesus covered in dung considered viable art. Anything reading “Thou shalt not murder,” “steal,” “commit adultery,” “lie,” “take the Lord’s name in vain,” etc, is the provoking of impertinent hate toward liars, thieves and murderers who deserve respect.

    Keeping and reelecting judges on the bench who free child molesters and killers are necessary policies if the law is to maintain fairness and equality for violent offenders.

    Welcome to the age of “Zero-Tolerance Laws” and the end of sanity and morality.

    Case in point; during 2007 Flag Week, Students in California were allowed to make displays supporting the troops in Iraq; there was one condition to being allowed entrance to school grounds with the displays; students had to cut off the extremely tiny and very fake weapons on toy soldiers and tanks.

    Apparently the student’s displays might actually allow for the children to declare and create warfare amongst them selves and kill each other.

    Ten years ago, 79 percent of public schools had the “Zero-Tolerance” laws against violence; 88 percent were for drugs, 91 percent for weapons and 94 percent were anti-firearms policies.

    The “Zero-Tolerance” for drugs is probably the most absurd; a child can be suspended for bringing Ibuprofin into school. In fact, recently, one Utah boy was suspended for giving his cousin a cold medicine pill both boys are presribed to take.

    You see, the five year-old may be a Timothy Leary stoner on the lose trying to get Mormons wasted.

    In Rhode Island, a five year-old kintergarten student was suspended for bringing a plastic pic-nic knife into class to cut his snack time cookies.

    Oh good grief, the child watched “Psycho” one too many times and now he thinks he can knife all the pretty, single blonde girls who remind him of his mother he keeps in the basement.

    Liberals like Al Sharpton are pushing for the word nigger to be banned from U.S. vocabulary. Only the phrase “N-word” will be allowed if Sharpton gets his way.

    In Sweden, a law was passed making it illegal to tell homosexual jokes. If one makes a funny about gays, one goes to prison. United States liberals want to pass “Zero-Tolerance” laws on homosexual jokes and harrassment toward gays.

    The above two are so assinine, drunk Hollywood bimbos could figure it out. No person with a smidge of decency would ever consider calling someone with black skin a nigger; it’s offensive and useless. As for homosexual jokes, most gays would have to be arrested under the zero-tolerance laws since it’s gays who are making all the jokes about themselves in TV shows and movies.

    “Zero-Tolerance” laws are a way to prevent every American from owning a gun to protect one’s self and family; it is a way to make illegal the telling of jokes about ancestry, race, religion and sex. “Zero-Tolerance” is another liberal attempt to control mankind under communistic-type rules punishable by imprisonment if broken. Rapists, murderers, child-molesters, human traffikers, drug dealers and any person invading the U.S. illegally need never follow the above rules; to do so would be intolerance toward criminals.

    Human beings are born with common sense; whether or not people choose to practice right versus wrong should not be punishment for the whole of humanity. Suspending children for bringing cold medicine or aspirine to school will not teach children not to do drugs; it will however teach the child that if they want to do something wrong and not get caught, never let anyone know what you’re doing. Be a liar and you can get away with whatever you want.

    God gave all humans brains with intelligence; how people use that intellect is up to people. Unless it’s the absolute need for self defense, every person knows its wrong to shoot or knife another human being. Every person knows its illegal and dangerous to use drugs; it’s a choice whether or not people decide right over wrong.

    Laws banning guns will never stop thugs from purchasing firearms and murdering the innocent; the lawful practice of the Second Amandment can, and has, time and again in the past, lessoned crime in the U.S.

    Banning gay jokes will not prevent homophobia; there will always be people who hate other people no matter what. Banning the word nigger will not stop the existence of the KKK or other white supremecist ignoramuses; laws against hate do not stop the presence of bad people; as long as the devil exists, so does evil. You can’t ban Satan; you’re supposed to resist him. Every person with a brain and decency knows that.

    The U.S. needs to worry more about stopping child pornography, child sex slave trade and traffiked women turned into prostitutes for strip clubs, porn movies and escort services who all claim the proffession is innocent. It’s not; it’s the destruction of humanity.

    The U.S. needs to start executing child molesters and violent killers, not try to imprison people who tell gay jokes.

    The federal government needs to crack down on the borders, closing them permenantly to stop illegal immigrants from entering the country. Many illegals have raped and murdered U.S. citizens only to walk free on the race card.

    The U.S. needs to start executing drug dealers, because their paraphernelia is a weapon of murder they use to make money. There is no difference between a hired assassine and a drug dealer; both are armed with guns; one uses the gun to murder, the other sells the drugs which cause overdosed deaths. Both people are murderers and both walk free because liberal judges and activists believe thugs are equal to the innocents they violate.

    If violent criminals would only tell gay jokes while calling blacks niggers, all criminals would be executed and America would be pretty much crime-free.

  2. So offending gay people is a graver sin than murder and child molestation these far left kooks are one scary bunch and I’ll do everything in my power to see that none of those creeps ever get elected.

    Combating Hate Crimes and intolerance is far more important to those weirdos than locking up real threats to society they’re insane I tell ya insane!
