TESTING THE FAITH City will prosecute Christian protesters
A federal appeals court denied an emergency appeal to stop prosecution of 11 Philadelphia-area Christians who allege the District Attorney's office retaliated against them for exercising their constitutional rights at a homosexual event in which they were arrested and later charged with felonies...the group was "preaching God's Word" to a crowd of people attending the outdoor Philadelphia "OutFest" event and displaying banners with biblical messages....the eleven Christians were arrested and spent a night in jail.(they were charged with)3 felonies and 5 misdemeanors. The charges were criminal conspiracy, possession of instruments of crime (NOTE:Bibles), reckless endangerment of another person, ethnic intimidation, riot, failure to disperse, disorderly conduct and obstructing highways. (...a video) show(ed) the Philadelphia 11 cooperated with police and were continually harassed by the Pink Angels.None of the Pink Angels was cited or arrested. The ethnic intimidation charge stems from Pennsylvania's "hate crimes" law – to which the newest "victim" category of "sexual orientation" was recently added. (is there ANYBODY who didn't see this coming????) The protesters say a Philadelphia police officer told them that because they were on a public sidewalk they were permitted to move freely through the event. A few minutes later, however, they were arrested and removed. The Philadelphia 11 face a maximum penalty of 47 years each in jail.....(read more)

Well here it is, The Hate Crime Speech law that is supressing our Freedom of Speech and Self Expression. This is what Hillary, Conyers, Jessie Jackson, SHiela Jackson Lee, John Kerry, Ted Kennedy and their cronies of the New PROGRESSIVE PARTY wants, the questions is are we going to allow them to have it? I say NO!! It is time to wake up and <arch on Washington and the Congress and demand that these so called Hate Crimes Laws are removed!!
The Progressive Caucus:

These are the Marxist Socialist in our Government, undermining the Constitution and slowly replacing it with Socialist Laws.
Did anybody VOTE for or against this "law"? I don't recall seeing it?
This why thinking that only high level Dums are dangerous, is in itself dangerous. The fight for a city council of state Rep is even more important. this article should prove the point.
Christians better wake up and smell the coffee. These are the first shots in the coming persecution of Christians in the USA. As for silently "turning the other cheek", that does not apply when we are confessing Christ and standing against evil. We used to call the Church in the present world, the "Church Militant" and the Church after Judgement as the "Church Triumphant". Funny...the modern clergy doesn't use those terms any more. Probably it's because they have surrendered and left the battlefield as the hirelings they are. Christians will be largely battling this alone, except for the help of God.
Right - "Progressive".
Not really. This is about intimidation. Terrify christians with jail time and hugh fines, the vast majority will stay home. Not because of lack of belief, but the sheer damage this could do to the family. We might as well face the fact that the commie/fascist/socialist/ evil dums have decided to declare war on Christians ( and in the closet-Jews). And guess what they even have an army, called the Islamofascists.

It's passed on from generation to generation... If both parents are homosexual, then the children will be homosexual too.

The Socialists have been working toward this since 1960’s

24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them "censorship" and a violation of free speech and free press.

25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.
26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as "normal, natural, healthy."
I read yesterday that the out-going Archbishop of the Church of England said that in the West it won't be long before Christians are forced underground. My sweet Jesus, it's happening faster than I'd ever thought.
Yes please ping me
Just damn!
How glad I am that I live in the UK where we don't have to put up with this sort of thing.
The USA is going to hell in a handbasket, thanks to all the lawyers and the ACLU.
In 100 years and they'll all be living in a Marxist state.
Shame really.
GOD BLESS THE UK
GOD BLESS THE QUEEN
AND GOD SAVE AMERICA
oh gosh it's too early in the morning for such that post to be playing in my head. ;) I'm a visual person. YUCK and double YUCK
Onward, Christian Soldiers,

With the Cross of Jesus,
Going on before!
Like a mighty army,
etc., etc.,
and that's all I remember.
BTTT!
According to the book Revelation, "you ain't seen nothing yet....." So many are being and will be decieved.
