There was a case recently (don't remember details but the man was a speaker at a dinner I attended) where liberal thugs physically assaulted a man for (I think) filming the actions of said thugs when the thugs objected to the man's display of conservative signs on his own property. The "victim" (who is acting like anything but!) is suing the thugs, and the state in which it occurred is, in fact, processing it as a hate crime.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11523711184044291561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18853193.post-2386430146716791382009-10-30T03:02:46.906-05:002009-10-30T03:02:46.906-05:00So, when does the Federal Office of Thought Police...So, when does the Federal Office of Thought Police open? <br /><br />& while Erin's theory sounds good, I highly doubt it will be taken seriously by the courts since hating Catholics & Pro-lifers is not considered a crime but a moral responsibility by the wackos behind this.Alhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07721319432213055605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18853193.post-10954127279372685682009-10-29T19:32:49.429-05:002009-10-29T19:32:49.429-05:00One might think that if it were to be tested in th...One might think that if it were to be tested in the US Supreme Court, then the fact would come up that the Shepard murder was not a hate crime, and thus the law would be based on a falsity. This is somewhat different from Roe, since Roe is a Court decision and the new one is a law.<br /><br />Thus, a law based on a false presupposition cannot be valid. It would be so glaring, that the Supremes would not be able to keep face before the public.JLShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12894953406900161276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18853193.post-62419573254176445202009-10-29T15:52:17.631-05:002009-10-29T15:52:17.631-05:00"If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeat...<i>"If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it to be the truth."</i><br /><br />And when the lie is told enough times, the liar himself comes to believe this.

If you kill a man because you want his money, or because he's gay, or because you're just having a really bad day, that man is just as dead and you're just as guilty. Putting an extra penalty on it because it's a "hate crime" criminalizes the intention-- the thought behind it. When we start criminalizing thoughts, we are in deep doodoo. Anyone who can't see this needs a basic lesson in critical thinking skills, before we all lose the ability to think at all due to the infantalization of our language (thank you George Orwell and Bill Whittle).<br /><br />That being said, however, "hate crime" legislation can cut both ways. Next time a Catholic pro-life worker gets pounded outside an abortion clinic-- hate crime. Next time a conservative takes a literal beating for their views (assuming expressed verbally)-- hate crime. I guaran-damn-tee some hotshot young lawyer(s) will gobble up the opportunity to sink their hands into some deep pockets over this. And I hope that cheering them on for it doesn't put me in league with the devil.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11523711184044291561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18853193.post-44178407664984939452009-10-29T09:07:26.377-05:002009-10-29T09:07:26.377-05:00Catholics, prepare to stand up for your Faith and ...Catholics, prepare to stand up for your Faith and be counted among those who follow the narrow way of Our Lord.
