Another Offensive (GAY) PC Law in the UK!

Rapists get less time than someone who says something negative about homosexuals in UK

Being able to say homosexuality is bad is one's right. It's also our rights not to have it shoved in the faces of children!

Frankly, I think this PC law is gay! Just because you like "biscuits" with your tea, doesn't mean you have to force your perverted agenda on the rest of the world and expect "thpecial" priveleges and treatment! Why should a negative comment, which other human beings (especially conservatives) endure on a regular basis rate more jail time than rape????

Evil Won't Go Away, Even if We Do...(and some Bible quotes) Long post, read anyway. ;-P

Sorry for the long post, but I hope you'll read all of it. :-) If you agree with what I say, or not- that's fine. What matters is that I remain free to say it, and as long as I am free to do so, I will.


Leaving Iraq won't bring peace. It won't make the terrorists stop- no matter what they say or promise- we recently saw that when Israel released terrorists who promised to stop.

Proverbs 27:6 "Wounds from a friend can be trusted, but an enemy multiplies kisses. "
Why do people keep falling for the multiple kisses of islam? They stab us in the back, sign a treaty, and repeat the process. Their koran calls for it.

Leaving will only appease them and the hateful leftists who blindly ignore what the terrorists do. The same people calling for "hate crimes" laws are the ones who want us to abandon people to hate, and a fate worse than most of us here in the U.S. can imagine. They seek to undermine what progress we have made in spite of them. If they can get us to fail, they can say "I told you so." That's all they care about. Know that if people die and fall slave to islam, it is because of them.

People of both political parties have lost sight of what it is about. It is about doing our best to try to keep more of this from happening:

http://stix1972.typepad.com/stix_blog/2007/08/our-enemies-in-.html

Just as police don't necessarily prevent crime, we can't always stop these crimes against humanity from taking place... but think of how many more would suffer without police. Think of how many more crimes would be committed against the defenseless without our presence in the middle east. I know that's why our troops are there. I know that's why they spend day after day fighting against evil. They want to give children hope for a better future.

Whatever your political thoughts or feelings, this is about fighting hate. It means troops putting their lives on the line, at war, providing swift justice at gunpoint to the radicals all over the world who destroy freedom, families, lives, and spread hate throughout the world in the name of their politically motivated so-called religion.

It's ok to be angry. It's ok to hate the actions (sins) of those who follow the brutal teachings of islam... but do not hate the enemy despite the vile things they do. My advice for all is to fight honorably against the tyrants so nobody can honestly speak evil of you. They will lie anyway, but you will know in your heart you are doing good.

Again, The Religion of Peace keeps track of the numbers. Islam kills more than any other hate group in history. People are quick to point to those who have done bad things in the name of Christianity- but the simple fact is Jesus taught us to live at peace with others as much as we are able. He taught us to love God and our neighbors. People who have done bad things in the name of Christianity are NOT following the teachings of Jesus.

Islam however teaches death, lies, abuse, and murder- ie: terrorism. Those who do bad things in the name of islam ARE following their religion. Following the teachings of Islam is following hate.

No, not all people who we call muslims are terrorists, I have had friends who denounce those parts of their religion- yet in doing so, according to their own book, they are not true muslims if they are rejecting any of its teachings... Just as a person who rejects Christ is not a true Christian. Sadly, those who reject the violent teachings of islam do so quietly or risk death. Those who reject Christ risk nothing in this world, and are in fact encouraged more often than not...

Why are some people so quick to defend the hateful teachings and followers of islam, yet the same people are so quick to want to punish anything outside islam that might remotely be considered an act of hate- even if that supposed act of hate is to spread truth and try to fight against hate? The only options are that they are either blinded and misled, or they are aware they are supporting terrorists. Either way, they are dangerous to freedom and instruments of evil. Yes evil. Could anything less pour gasoline on a child and light him on fire? Could anything less than evil defend the teachings that condone that sort of behavior?

Christians should live at peace as much as we are able. We can not live at peace with islamists bent on destruction. That is why the Jews of the old testament fought so hard for so long- why they are still fighting! That is why we must not cave to islam. We must fight evil.

Islam is the ultimate "hate crime." If we are to follow the laws of the land, and if we truly want peace, we must fight and expel terrorists and those preaching our destruction.
------------------
Also if we are to follow the law we must not harbor illegals- for if they are breaking the law, harboring them is breaking the law. To put it simply: breaking the law is wrong. Harboring criminals is wrong.

Why do people harbor illegals? Why is trying to deport lawbreakers considered hateful? Yet breaking the law is not? Why not consider breaking into our country and increasing crime and violence hateful? Yet time and time again, even after breaking laws, the illegals are released to break more laws because people are scared of being labeled hateful by enforcing laws? There are those who call this good work hate, and they work towards your imprisonment or death- but those are the ones spouting the real hate and would usher in the destruction of this nation with a blissful smile on their face- claiming to usher in peace. They brag about the law and break it.

Romans 2:23 "You who brag about the law, do you dishonor God by breaking the law? 24As it is written: "God's name is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you."

It is our duty as loyal citizens and soldiers to fight injustice, to renounce the hate that is islam, to renounce the lies fed to us by the mainstream media- and to work to expel illegals and terrorists who sneak into our country. Ignoring the problems and withdrawing does not fix the problems- such laziness does not bring peace. It only encourages hate to grow and fester and eventually overwhelm you while you are not paying attention.

There is no room for trying to be politically correct. Not being politically correct does not mean that you are hateful- it means you are taking a stand against hate by being truthful. People still fail to see we are at war with an evil ideology, a political ideology, a so-called religion, and that the seeds of war have already been planted on our own soil- we must continue to fight out of love for the preservation of freedom and life, not hate. Whether you are writing your representatives, spreading truth and under-reported news on your blog, or a soldier trying to bring hope and freedom, you are doing the right thing and doing everything you can to keep that war from growing here.

Romans 12:18"If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone." That does not mean submit to atrocities. It is not possible to live at peace with people who seek to torture, murder, suppress, and destroy.

There are people who stand against doing good. They stand against fighting evil.

Romans 1 29-32: 29 "They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, 30slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; 31they are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless. 32Although they know God's righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them."

Why do we face such hate from islam and those who make excuses for it? Why do so many who hate filled people around the world target us?

John 15:19 If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you.

Don't worry about that.
1Peter 5; 6-10
6Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. 7Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.
8Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. 9Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of sufferings.
10And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.

We fight evil in fighting islam. Evil won't go away, even if we do. So we fight it. Along the way we suffer abuse, slander, and persecution- especially from those liars who claim to be peaceful. It has all been foretold. We will fight on hoping that we can make a difference and save a life from tyranny. We will fight on, hoping to give someone else hope. We will fight on for freedom.

I'm going away for a little while... I hope to return recharged to continue fighting the good fight.

God Bless!

Reply From Sen Warner (R???-Va) on Hate Crimes!!!

First, let me state that a crime is a crime, regardless of the motivation. Providing EXTRA punishment to someone for a crime "motivated" based on race, color, religion, or national origin removes the "equal protection" under the law from everyone else not falling into whichever category is most popular to protect at the moment. This spells the unraveling of everything precious remaining in our legal system and rule of law. We see "hate crimes" day in and day out committed against Americans, yet who benefits? Who is truly punished? America! We The People ARE the people. A brutal murder against one of us is no better or worse than one against any of us. Why make a law that leads down such a slippery slope? It's easy to say something is a "hate crime." Is this blog going to be considered a hate crime because it points out the hatefulness of the fundamentals of a certain "religion?"

Why are certain people within our government working so hard to set in motion many things to work together to destroy this nation? That to me is the hate crime.

Amnesty for lawbreakers and terrorists. Special protections for certain people. Dhimmitude. Restrictions on free speech. Manipulations of the press. Restrictions on your right to bear arms. Unthinkable, yet it is happening across this great nation, right now- with or without legislation to speed it up. Help me vote anyone who would deny you your rights out of office.

"... actual or perceived race, color, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, or disability of any person, where the offense is in or affects interstate or foreign commerce." Why does a "hate crime" bill have a clause about "affecting interstate or foreign commerce?" They keep finding poison in exports from China- it's no accident to have 100 times the dangerous dose of formaldahyde in childrens' clothing..Is that a hate crime? Where is the government to protect US? Too busy taking away our rights and freedoms, making us easy prey for ANYONE (regardless of their national origin or religion) who wants to do us harm.

The complete text of Sen Warner's reply follows, minus my own personal information lest someone try to commit a hate crime against me:

Mr. Chris XXXXXXXXX

XXXXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXXX

Dear Mr. XXXXX

Thank you for contacting me to share your thoughts on hate crimes legislation. I appreciate your inquiry on this matter.

Current federal law prohibits willfully injuring, intimidating or interfering with any person because of the person's race, color, religion, or national origin. However, this federal protection only applies when a person is engaged in one of six federally protected activities. These protected activities include: (1) enrolling in or attending a public school; (2) participating in a program administered by a state; (3) applying for or being employed; (4) serving as a juror in any state court; (5) traveling in or using a facility of interstate commerce; and (6) enjoying the goods, services, and accommodations of any inn, motel, or hotel, any restaurant, any gasoline station, theater, sports arena or other facility.

With respect to hate crimes legislation proposed in the United States Senate, on April 12, 2007, Senator Edward Kennedy (D-MA) and Senator Gordon Smith (R-OR) introduced the Matthew Shepard Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act (S.1105). Subsequent to its introduction, S.1105 was referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee. This legislation would expand current federal law by making it a federal crime to willfully cause bodily injury to any person because of the victim’s actual or perceived race, color, national origin, religion, gender, sexual orientation, or disability without regard to the six existing federally protected activities in current law.

After examining similar legislation extensively for several years, after listening to law enforcement officials and citizens all across Virginia, and after a horrific hate crime shooting spree in Roanoke, Virginia, which left Danny Overstreet dead and six others wounded, I voted in support of legislation called the Local Law Enforcement Enhancement Act when it was offered as an amendment to the FY2005 Defense Authorization Act (S.2400) in 2004. While this amendment was considered by the full Senate and agreed to by a vote of 65 to 33, the FY2005 Defense Authorization Act did not include the amendment when it was signed into law by the President (P. L. 108-375).

First, the Local Law Enforcement Enhancement Act would have expanded federal hate crimes jurisdiction by making it a federal crime to willfully cause bodily injury to any person because of the victim’s actual or perceived race, color, national origin, religion, gender, sexual orientation, or disability without regard to the six existing federally protected activities in current law. However, under the amendment, federal law enforcement officials could not take over the investigation or prosecution of hate crimes unless: the state lacked the authority to prosecute; the state requested the federal government’s assistance or involvement; or the state’s verdict or sentence did not fulfill the federal interest in eradicating bias-motivated violence.

Second, because the investigation and prosecution of hate crimes can be extraordinarily costly, the Local Law Enforcement Enhancement Act would have authorized grants to local and state governments to assist them in the investigation and prosecution of hate crimes. Finally, for cases in which local law enforcement officials request additional assistance, the amendment would have authorized federal law enforcement officials to provide technical, forensic, and prosecutorial assistance in the investigation and prosecution of hate crimes.

In my view, the Local Law Enforcement Enhancement Act would have helped ensure that local, state, and federal law enforcement had the resources necessary to prosecute the perpetrators of these particularly heinous crimes to the fullest extent of the law. And, not only would the amendment have sent a strong federal message that these types of crimes would not be tolerated, it would have helped close the gaps in our legal system that sometimes make the investigation and prosecution of these crimes even more difficult.

On May 3, 2007, the House of Representatives passed its version of the Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act (H.R.1592) by a vote of 237 to 180. Additional legislation, the David Ray Hate Crimes Prevention Act of 2007 (H.R.254), remains under consideration in the House of Representatives. H.R.254 would amend the federal criminal code to set penalties for willfully causing bodily injury, or attempting to cause such injury, because of the actual or perceived race, color, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, or disability of any person, where the offense is in or affects interstate or foreign commerce.

Please be assured that I appreciate the views that you have shared with me. You may be certain that, should S.1105 or other legislation related to hate crimes come before the full Senate in the future, I will be certain to keep your thoughts in mind.

Again, thank you for contacting me.

With kind regards, I am

Sincerely,

A

John Warner

HATE SPEECH!

Muslim extremists are only following what is written within the texts of their faith:

3:151We will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve, because they set up with Allah that for which He has sent down no authority, and their abode is the fire, and evil is the abode of the unjust.

8:60And prepare against them what force you can and horses tied at the frontier, to terrorize thereby the enemy of Allah...

8:12I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them.

2:191, And slay them wherever ye catch them

2:193, And fight them on until there is no more Tumult or oppression

2:216, Fighting is prescribed for you, and ye dislike it. But it is possible that ye dislike a thing which is good for you

3:28, Let not the believers Take for friends or helpers Unbelievers rather than believers: if any do that, in nothing will there be help from Allah

4:48 Allah forgiveth not that partners should be set up with Him; but He forgiveth anything else, to whom He pleaseth; to set up partners with Allah is to devise a sin Most heinous indeed.

4:84, Then fight in Allah's cause - Thou art held responsible only for thyself - and rouse the believers. It may be that Allah will restrain the fury of the Unbelievers; for Allah is the strongest in might and in punishment.

4:141, And never will Allah grant to the unbelievers a way (to triumphs) over the believers

5:33, The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger, and strive with might and main for mischief through the land is: execution, or crucifixion, or the cutting off of hands and feet from opposite sides, or exile from the land: that is their disgrace in this world, and a heavy punishment is theirs in the Hereafter;

8:12, I will instill terror into the hearts of the unbelievers: smite ye above their necks and smite all their finger-tips off them

8:15-16, O ye who believe! when ye meet the Unbelievers in hostile array, never turn your backs to them. If any do turn his back to them on such a day - unless it be in a stratagem of war, or to retreat to a troop (of his own)- he draws on himself the wrath of Allah, and his abode is Hell,- an evil refuge (indeed)!

8:17, It is not ye who slew them; it was Allah: when thou threwest (a handful of dust), it was not thy act, but Allah's: in order that He might test the Believers by a gracious trial from Himself

8:60, Against them make ready your strength to the utmost of your power, including steeds of war, to strike terror into (the hearts of) the enemies, of Allah and your enemies, and others besides, whom ye may not know, but whom Allah doth know. Whatever ye shall spend in the cause of Allah, shall be repaid unto you, and ye shall not be treated unjustly.

8:65, O Prophet! rouse the Believers to the fight. If there are twenty amongst you, patient and persevering, they will vanquish two hundred: if a hundred, they will vanquish a thousand of the Unbelievers

9:5, But when the forbidden months are past, then fight and slay the Pagans wherever ye find them, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem.

9:3, And an announcement from Allah and His Messenger, to the people (assembled) on the day of the Great Pilgrimage,- that Allah and His Messenger dissolve (treaty) obligations with the Pagans. If then, ye repent, it were best for you; but if ye turn away, know ye that ye cannot frustrate Allah. And proclaim a grievous penalty to those who reject Faith.

9:14, Fight them, and Allah will punish them by your hands, cover them with shame, help you (to victory) over them, heal the breasts of Believers,

9:23, O ye who believe! take not for protectors your fathers and your brothers if they love infidelity above Faith: if any of you do so, they do wrong.

9:28, O ye who believe! Truly the Pagans are unclean; so let them not, after this year of theirs, approach the Sacred Mosque.

9:29, Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.

9:39, Unless ye go forth, (for Jihad) He will punish you with a grievous penalty, and put others in your place; but Him ye would not harm in the least.

9:73, O Prophet! strive hard against the unbelievers and the Hypocrites, and be firm against them. Their abode is Hell,- an evil refuge indeed.

9:111, Allah hath purchased of the believers their persons and their goods; for theirs (in return) is the garden (of Paradise): they fight in His cause, and slay and are slain: a promise binding on Him in truth, through the Law, the Gospel, and the Quran

9:123, O ye who believe! fight the unbelievers who gird you about, and let them find firmness in you: and know that Allah is with those who fear Him.

22:9, (Disdainfully) bending his side, in order to lead (men) astray from the Path of Allah: for him there is disgrace in this life, and on the Day of Judgment We shall make him taste the Penalty of burning (Fire).

22:19-22; These two antagonists dispute with each other about their Lord: But those who deny (their Lord),- for them will be cut out a garment of Fire: over their heads will be poured out boiling water. With it will be scalded what is within their bodies, as well as (their) skins. In addition there will be maces of iron (to punish) them. Every time they wish to get away therefrom, from anguish, they will be forced back therein, and (it will be said), “Taste ye the Penalty of Burning!”

25:52, So obey not the disbelievers, but strive against them herewith with a great endeavour.

25:68, Those who invoke not, with Allah, any other god, nor slay such life as Allah has made sacred except for just cause, nor commit fornication; - and any that does this (not only) meets punishment. "(But) the Penalty on the Day of Judgment will be doubled to him, and he will dwell therein in ignominy."

37:22-23, "Bring ye up", it shall be said, "The wrong-doers and their wives, and the things they worshipped- Besides Allah, and lead them to the Way to the (Fierce) Fire!"

47:4, Therefore, when ye meet the Unbelievers (in fight), smite at their necks; At length, when ye have thoroughly subdued them, bind a bond firmly (on them): thereafter (is the time for) either generosity or ransom: Until the war lays down its burdens.

48:13 And if any believe not in Allah and His Messenger, We have prepared, for those who reject Allah, a Blazing Fire!

48:29, Muhammad is the messenger of Allah; and those who are with him are strong against Unbelievers, (but) compassionate amongst each other.

I wanted to make sure I had handy a string of quotes archived for reference on my own site.

Here is where the quran belongs:

Letter to Senators- First Amendment

The following is my open letter to senators with regards to the new "hate crime" amendment to the defense budget. Please help preserve your freedom of speech before it becomes too late and gag orders are given to all citizens and news writers, as was recently done in Europe. Imagine a country in which people like Mr. Farah at www.worldnetdaily.com are sent to jail for trying to spread the truth. Go to www.senate.gov In the top right corner is a menu to get your senator's contact info. Read and use the below letter either whole or as a template for getting your own message across. It takes less than a minute to fight for your freedom because others have already done the hard part of dying for it. If we do not band together and speak out against abuse of the Constitution now, how many Americans will have to fight for ground already bought by blood? God Bless America!

Sir,



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



The preceding text is the first amendment to the Constitution. I implore you forward it to your fellow representatives of the citizens of these United States in case their copy has become worn from use and thus rendered unreadable, or been misplaced or otherwise discarded, lest they attempt to abridge their constituents' unalienable right to freedom of speech. Please do so while there is still time.


The following are hereby brought to your attention for your immediate action:


Whereas Senators Kennedy and Smith have submitted a "Hate Crimes" amendment to the defense budget, they have in doing so attempted to abridge the free speech of citizens of the United States of America.


Whereas any representative lawmaker attempting to abrogate the heretofore inalienable rights of the citizens of the United States of America is by definition committing an act of treason against the governing documents of our country.


Whereas any amendments added without regards or relation to proposed legislation serve no purpose other than to provide a misrepresentation of the will and abuse of trust of the citizens of the United States of America.


Whereas any such proposed amendment put forth not only defies the Constitution, but also threatens to corrupt defense legislation key to the protection of the United States of America.



I hereby call for the immediate striking of said aforementioned "Hate Crimes" amendment and the immediate impeachment of all elected officials supporting any limits to the Bill of Rights as outlined by the founders of this nation.



I hereby call for clear, concise legislation without hidden deceitful riders. Let every bill stand on its own merit.


Countless veterans have sworn an oath to defend the Constitution, and while terms of service may expire, that sacred oath does not. We may not agree with everything a person says in the exercise of their right to freedom of speech, but make no mistake, as Americans we will defend to the death their right to say it. The ghosts of our brothers and sisters in arms laid to rest in Arlington and cemeteries around the globe attest to our willingness to defend freedom.



Several states have already illegally violated the Constitutional rights of their citizens, to constrain those officers of the law to become the captors of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by the hands of those over them.

Details of these offenses against the Constitution, the people, and reason itself can be found at:
http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=56701

Included among the ranks of the illegally punished is a pastor and veteran of the United States Marine Corps with twenty years of service.


We have written to you, our elected representatives, time and again to uphold the Constitution, to secure our freedoms, our rights, and our borders, yet time and again our freedom and security are attacked from within by that very body of representatives who chose to defend us from tyranny some several generations ago.



In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury.


The Declaration of Independence had strong, heartfelt language in it, and for good reason.


We ask that you uphold the Constitution and protect us from the tyranny such abusive machinations from within our very government will lead to.

To your duty senator!

Very Respectfully,

Hate Crimes law - PC Murdering of the First Amendment!

The corrupt false-representatives are at it again! First, they undermine our beliefs by allowing another religion to pray, representing YOU THE PEOPLE of this nation, on the senate floor! This action did not represent the people of this nation and was an act of betrayal. If that was not bad enough...

Now they betray you by taking away your right to say whatever you want- specifically targeting Christianity!

They failed at limiting your free speech when they tried to impose the (un) fairness doctrine that would have destroyed what free press we have left- requiring "equal" air-time to opposing, even fanatical and nonsensical views! Now they don't just care about what goes on the radio- they want to come after YOU!

Not clear enough???

THEY WANT TO LIMIT WHAT YOU CAN SAY!

I'm not talking about limiting people from yelling something dangerous like "Fire" in a crowded place where there is no fire- which would endanger lives of many. The intent of the Constitution is to protect and preserve your freedoms. The Constitution is being dismantled by traitors, yes traitors, to every single human being who has ever fought and died for freedom.

Already the states that have passed so called "hate speech" laws have violated your fellow American's Constitutional Rights and illegally arrested them for exercising Constitutional Rights.

YES, ILLEGALLY- for any law violating the Constitution is illegal. It does not take a lawyer or Supreme Court Justice to reach that obvious conclusion.

No, they did not go after radical muslims calling for your death.
No, they did not go after Nazis calling for the extermination of Jews.

How much do you want to bet that saying "radical muslim" or using muslim and terrorist in the same sentence will be targeted just as it was targeted in the UK, where people are now sent to jail for speaking their mind, or punished for displaying a Christian expression of their faith as simple as a ring. No outward physical expression is required, but to punish someone for exercising their rights to display such an expression is apalling!

How much do you want to bet that those same radical muslim terrorists (hah, all 3 in one sentence!) will be free to spread their hatred and continue to encourage violence and terrorism across America?

Here is a sample of those (dastardly, vile criminals) who have suffered the injustice of the so called Hate Speech laws in these United States:

-Madison, Wis. David Ott, a former homosexual, was arrested for a "hate crime" for sharing his testimony with a homosexual at a gas station. He faced a $10,000 fine and one year behind bars. Seven thousands dollars in legal fees later, he was ordered to attend re-education classes at the University of Wisconsin conducted by a lesbian.

-St. Petersburg, Fla. Five Christians, including two pastors, were arrested at a homosexual rally for stepping onto the public sidewalk instead of staying caged in their officially designated "free speech zone." Their signs were also "illegal" because they were slightly "bigger than their torsos." Apparently, large people are entitled to more speech than those with smaller frames.

(Ha- Maybe I should stop trying to lose that extra 5 pounds so I can squeeze in punctuation on my protest sign if I'm ever in Fl? I don't see a "torso clause" in the Constitution, do you?)

-Elmira, N.Y. The Elmira police arrested seven Christians for praying in a public park where a homosexual festival was getting started. A female officer told the group, "You're not going to enter the park, and you're not going to share your religion with anybody in this park." The group of seven didn't say anything, but got down on their faces and silently prayed. They were promptly placed in handcuffs.

-Crystal Lake, Illinois. Two 16-year-old girls are facing felony "hate crime" charges for the content of their flyers. (I do not know the content of the flyers, but even knowing how mean some kids can be, it should not matter according to the Constitution)

-Philadelphia, Pa. Arlene Elshinnawy, a 75-year-old grandmother of three, and Linda Beckman, a 70-year-old grandmother of 10 (along with nine others), were arrested for sharing their faith on the public sidewalk. They faced 47 years (the rest of their lives) in jail for spreading the Gospel because of a Pennsylvania "hate crimes" law. Hear from the grandma's at http://www.stophatecrimesnow.com/.

-Palmdale, Calif., Pastor Audie Yancey, a retired U.S. Marine Corps 20-year veteran, was charged with a "hate crime" for handing out a Christian tract that illustrated the link between Islam and the terror attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. The tract featured a picture of an American flag and beneath it the words, "Remember 9/11: In the name of Allah they brought destruction and death to thousands. In the name of Jesus Christ you can have eternal life."

(Hoorah Marine, you serve your country yet again and make true patriots proud, unlike those scumbags who would try to tarnish the reputation of champions of freedom)

The corrupt false-representatives want to place a gag on the entire country and have the ability to throw you in jail at their convenience for saying ANYTHING they decided was hateful!

The Declaration of Independence had some strong language in it too as I recall. I wonder if they would consider it hateful too... After all, it did incite violence!

Call your senators at 202-224-3121 or use their direct lines or e-mail addresses available at http://www.senate.gov/. Let them know what you think about the government-approved idolatrous prayer and the assault on Christians and freedom of speech in the dangerous "hate crime amendment" (No. 2067) to the Defense Authorization bill, H.R. 1585.

I will work on drafting a letter for your senators, and a "bill" of my own to prevent corrupt amendments from detracting from the original intent of ALL proposed legislation. Such "hidden riders" are an abuse of power, an abuse of trust, and a misrepresentation of the will of the American citizens. In short: an act of treason against the people of the United States of America.

Legislation should stand or fall on its own merit, and any substantive changes should require a new draft. Unrelated amendments should be excluded. This amendment failed to stand on its own, and has no business being tucked away in a bill designed to support the troops and fund our defenses!

Calling it treason is harsh words, I know, but true, and I wanted to say it before doing so becomes illegal! I suggest you do the same, loud, and often, until the point is made that WE THE PEOPLE will not be silenced!
