"They might get six to twelve months probation," he said. "Nobody's going to jail for 47 years."

I wouldn't be so sure about that.

Someone help me out here -- isn't the "crime" in this case pretty much what the ProtestWarriors do when they wade into anti-American demonstrations with their pro-American message? If I join one of those PW counter-demonstration, am I risking a felony conviction and jail time for upsetting the enemies of America?

Homosexual Agenda Ping.

Excerpt:
"Now, when you speak in the public square -- at least in Philadelphia -- you will be sent to prison, if they have anything to say about it," said Brian Fahling, an attorney with the American Family Association's Center for Law & Policy. "That's frightening, that's chilling -- and every American ought to be astonished, stunned, and outraged that this is happening in Philadelphia."

If you want on/off the list let me know.

"I think we've got to draw a line between where is freedom of speech and where is it 'fighting words,'" Volz said.

Define "fighting words" for a sodomite.

Is accusing them of being normal, chaste or decent considered "fighting words"?

Can I go to prison for telling them their shoes are out of style or that their rendition of "Over the Rainbow" sounds nothing like Judy Garland? Will I be brought up on charges for telling one that he looks fat or that "Will and Grace" is unwatchable crap?

Please, tell us backward, Godfearing yokels what we can or cannot say to our faggot masters.

The only person that I want to hear from is the actual cop on the beat who actually did the arrest. These people may have been preaching the Bible (which is all well and good), but they also may have been acting like ass-holes who deserved to get busted. I want to hear what the arresting officer has to say.

How to silence a part of society

Dear Editor (of the Philly Inquirer),

A few days ago, a group of citizens (11 to be exact) were arrested on public property for peacefully talking and demonstrating.

And even though these 11 citizens were verbally abused, harassed and spat upon by a hostile crowd, they remained peaceful and fully cooperated with the police.

Yet they were charged with criminal conspiracy, possession of instruments of crime, reckless endangerment of another person, ethnic intimidation, riot, failure to disperse, disorderly conduct and obstructing highways.

They are facing up to 47 years in jail each.

Now, in any normal society, the major newspapers of that city would be up in arms over such reckless thrashing of the First Amendment. They would logically come to the conclusion that their entire business (and jobs) are based on the preservation of the First Amendment and any abuse that could be use to silence peaceful citizens could one day be used to silence them.

But that is not how the city of Philadelphia works.

First Amendment "privileges" are now reserved for those who agree with the social policies of the media and of City Hall. Disagreement brings marginality and arrest.

Because the "Philadelphia 11" were evangelical Christians at a homosexual festival.

Not even in the darkest days of "Jim Crow" laws have such power and venom been brought to bear to silence a part of society.

Oh yeah, and the "possession of instruments of crime" - that was a Bible. The "ethnic intimidation" - that is from the newest "victim" category of "sexual orientation" to Pennsylvania's hate crime law where now you can be arrested for talking about the Bible in the wrong company.

And all this happened within walking distance of where the US Constitution was written and signed.


Best Regards,

I saw the Factor last night and O'Reilly was doing his best to be "fair & balanced." Unfortunately, it was obvious he hadn't a clue as to what went truly went on at the event. He hadn't watched the video of the arrest and after seeing a protester's sign that quoted Leviticus, he was upset that homosexuals were referred to as "abominations." It wasn't one of his best interviews.

Fahling says his group is planning to ask for an investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice into the case.
