Heeeeere's Rudy

I've also lived in Europe. I once had a neighbor who was threatened with criminal prosecution in the Netherlands for expressing her opinion in her own home that homosexual behavior was deviant and contrary to Christian principles. This is the Europe that Giuliani was exhorting to make its hate crimes more strict.

Forgive my denseness, but I can't seem to find where that quote came from. Is it in the posted article? The linked article?

[silentreignofheroes]

I got it,,,wasn't he knighted ..? Seems Our Constitution says it's against our way..I'd have to look it up,,Public School system, you know.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Defend Rudy here. Go ahead.

Yawn. Wake me up when he proposes such a thing for America.

[Clemenza]

If anyone deserves the sobriquet, it is Rudy.

Besides, its no worse than what Alexander Hamilton's NY Post used to publish about Aaron Burr...and I KNOW I am a better shot than Rudy. ;-)

[Clemenza]

From your profile page:

Support only conservative Republicans and have no problem voting for the LP or CP candidate if the GOP is a RINO.

Than why, pray tell, are you supporting a Rockefeller Republican like RG?

[narses]

What a defense!

[EternalVigilance]

Than why, pray tell, are you supporting a Rockefeller Republican like RG?

Rudy makes Rockefeller look downright conservative.

[JCEccles]

Yawn. Wake me up when he proposes such a thing for America.

Good lord, man! Did you even bother to read the article? Giuliani confesses in detail his white-hot zeal in pushing just such an agenda in New York City when he was mayor.

[TitansAFC]

Which quote?

The first one is from this article.

The second was from a speech given, and then a newspaper article (just Google the quote).

;-)

At the heart of it, this isn't about anti-semitism. It is about using the coercive power of the state to compel people to think like its leader--or at least to fear to think unlike him.

Absolutely! I'd add: It's not only not about anti-Semitism, it doesn't even help against anti-Semitism. We're talking about nutjobs who place highway signs that are rigged to explode if disturbed. These people are not poring over the criminal code to see which acts carry a somewhat higher penalty.

[EternalVigilance]

Okay. I see it in Google. He said it a few years back. I'd never heard that stupid invidious comment before. Sheesh. Reminds me of Hillary's "we're going to take things away from you for your own good" spew.

All crimes are hate crimes.
If someone beats the crap out on another person they aren't doing it becaust they like them.
Nobody gets murdered unless someone else hates them.
The whole hate crime designation is redundant and stupid.

using the coercive power of the state to compel people to think like its leader--or at least to fear to think unlike him...........................


Sounds like a fella named Adolf,,but I could be wrong..

[Clemenza]

Ping!

[JCEccles]

Bump.

Broad Brush,,,,,,I've beat the crap out of my sisters in my day,some would say it's not fair (5 Sisters to 1 brother,but I managed)and I still would kill for them...

While I may not agree with his viewpoint, and probably wouldn't support his bid for the White House, I have to give anyone credit who's willing to lecture Europeans.
