I hate the 237 weasels who voted for this travesty!
"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
Chances the President signs the damn thing?
Which of the Weasels were Pubicrats????....Names Please....
Wow! The Rats are pissing all over the Constitution!
We need names.
Give us names!
Careful, there - hatred of 'Rats will be the next "thought crime" to be defined by these budding commissars.
This is curious. I called my House rep and was told this bill had gone back to committee.
The Minority Report, 1984, and It Can’t Happen Here, all in one convenient legislative package.
Might as well dress it up a little and call it the Enabling Acts.
IIRC, Bush has already said he’ll veto it. The House results are way short of a veto-proof majority, so for the time being, this travesty ought to be dead in the water.
Law can establish penalties for actions, not for thoughts, intentions or wishes. Any law that penalizes for thoughts, intentions or wishes is invalid.
Problem is that the whole judicial system is complicit and won’t accept what I just said. This means that the whole judicial system is corrupt.
Also, if you contacted your senator/congressperson, it was a waste of time. This law was going to be passed no matter what the people thought.
Judy Biggert, Mary Bono, Mike Castle, Charlie Dent, Mark Kirk, the Diaz-Balart bros & Irena Ros-Lehtinen (Cuban trio = gay-friendly), English, Mike Ferguson, Rod Freylinghausen, Jim Gerlach, Wayne Gilchrest, Jim McCrery(?!), Frank LoBiondo, Ray LaHood, Kuhl, Platts, Jon Porter (?!), Deb Pryce, Dave Reichert, Saxton, Chrissy Shays, Greg Walden, Walsh.
Mostly from liberal states, though some of them are in many respects conservative.
Apologies to those whose first names I couldn't recall.
This will last about 2 days before the supreme court strikes it down for violating the equal protection clause.
Doreen Vigue, a former co-host on WRKO used to push Hate Crimes by saying that “sexual Orientation”, “Race” etc, was “Added Value”. She would say that phrase slowly and clearly so us Troglodytes could absorb its profundity. Her assertion that those traits are “added value” over a cookie cutter White guy proves the violence that Hate Crime Laws do to the 14th Amendment.
Exactly! Thanks for listing them.

Most all of them come from districts in blue states, or else from socially liberal districts that just happen to be in red states (i.e., LA-4, IIRC, contains part of New Orleans).
