"Criminalizing thoughts as well as actions, and creating special categories of victims is unconstitutional," said Tony Perkins, FRC president.

I hate the 237 weasels who voted for this travesty!

Liberals declare conservatism a hate crime. Film at 11.

It'll pass the Senate too. ....probably with even less difficulty.

Chances the President signs the damn thing?

This LEFTIST bill is about controlling speech. Relatives tell me a similar bill passed in Canada and certain passages of the Bible, or even references to them, can not now be displayed in public.

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.

[SpaceBar]

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.

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

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.

This will last about 2 days before the supreme court strikes it down for violating the equal protection clause.

[Xenalyte]

Careful. Hating them is a thought crime. ;)

Thought Crime bill? When I read the headline, I thought this was an anti flag burning bill...

[Artemis Webb]

I’m not nearly as conservative on social issues as many on FR. I’m to the right of Rudy for sure but that’s not too hard.

So what is amazing to me is for once I agree with James Dobson. This bill is nothing more than an attempt to muzzle ANYBODY who, in public statement or writing, says anything negative about homosexuality.

More specifically what would happen is some minister will say homosexuality is a sin (which it is), and some numbnutt who attended that same church at SOME point in his life goes off and commits a violent crime against a homosexual, then the state can come after the minister for inciting a hate crime.

Anybody who denies this would be the outcome (John Conyers) is either naive or a liar or both.

The elected representatives of this Republic used to go to Washington briefly to act on the Nation's business, and then go home.

This was before the invention of HVAC.

Maybe we should ban HVAC in all government buildings in Washington, DC.

Shame on the Republicans who voted for this piece of work. Non-conservatives. Enemies of freedom of speech and religious expression.
