Ron Paul gets it.
So if I call somebody stupid, who in fact has done poorly in school, does that constitute as a hate crime?
If so, get the handcuffs ready because I have an explosive mouth.
Hahaaha, what a great comic.
Wake up America — this atrocity of a bill is typical of the way the radical left wants to CONTROL YOUR LIBERTIES AND FREEDOMS — by making everything that they do not want said about their criminal and corrupt ways a crime.
Wake up now!!! Thank God that Bush will veto this freedom-destroying crap of a bill. Your socialist left at work.
why can’t he declare an executive order deporting all Democrats ? Use the sedition act as fuel for the fire .
The Soviets, whose American adherents have thoroughly infiltrated the Democrat party, understood that all you need do to control good men is to make so many laws that it's impossible to avoid breaking any of them. Then you brand him guilty and and he's much easier to manipulate.
I have asked several proponents of such “hate crimes” legislation the same questions - and have NEVER received and answer - not even a stupid answer:
1. If someone murders me because I am in the way of a robbery, and someone else is murdered and the murderer has expressed hatred for a race - does that make the one murdered by the racist any more dead than me?
2. Someone gets in a fight with a homosexual after having sendt an email against gay marriage - does that make them more guilty than someone in a fight with a straight person?
3. Why stop at protecting gays? how about enhanced penalties for those who victimized old people? How about those pro-abortion folks who assaulted the peaceful anti-abortion protesters outside of an abortion clinic? How about teachers who are assaulted because a “student” really hates his teachers? How about the school shooter who takes a gun to school and murders his classmates because of his “HATE”? How about the gang member who shoots up a house because a member of a rival gang (who he of course, hates) lives there?
4. So - doesn’t all crime involve some form of hate? If we loved one another - then we would not commit crimes against each other...
The truth is - hate crimes legislation is 100% a tool to silence views that are contrary to the liberal worldview.

Exactly. And totally unconstitutional. Another reason that the socialists must be taken out of the majority in the Congress, and be kept out of the White House.
Unfortunately, a couple of the so-called "leading" candidates for the GOP nomination fully support such legislation - and are essentially socialists of the same mold as the one's currently pushing this junk on us.
Ron Paul for POTUS!

All violent crimes are hate crimes. Glad to see some common sense still left with at least a few individuals in Congress.
Well, he’s on the pro-employed-citizen (read anti-government) side of just about every issue. I realize Libertarians aren’t good for everything, but the current crap of Democrats and “republic”ans are all too authoritarian to fulfill the vision of the Founders. How many times has the Bush administration filed amicus briefs upholding the position of an out-of-control government over that of a private citizen? I’m not talking about terrorists here, think Elliot.
No, that’s not this Ron Paul. You must be thinking of some other Ron Paul. One that is a figment of your imagination.
On the “rough days” I pick up the Calvin and Hobbes. It never fails to lift my spirits.
Sorry there Iwo, it is that Ron Paul. He did everything I posted. I was mocking him because he is a pathetic joke.
Ron Paul who voted against the Iraq Resolution but instead offered a Declaration of War against Iraq to get rid of the dependence of the UN justification for the military action to keep our sovereignty intact and to keep the constitutional power of Congress to declare war in Congress instead of transferring the power to the POTUS. Yep that Ron Paul.
