Senator's Use of Defense Funding Bill to Pass "Hate Crimes" Proposal Called "Reckless"
Family Policy Network ^ | 7/17/07 | FPN

Posted on 07/18/2007 8:40:14 PM PDT by TheAverageGuy

FOREST, VA - The leader of a national pro-family organization is accusing a U.S. Senator of jeopardizing the welfare of American soldiers in an underhanded attempt to have "sexual orientation" added to the list of federally-protected hate crimes categories. Senator Ted Kennedy (D-MA) Family Policy Network (FPN) President Joe Glover described Massachusetts Senator Ted Kennedy's decision to add a controversial "hate crimes proposal to a military spending bill as "reckless" and "possibly treasonous" in an email to the group's supporters in all 50 states.

Kennedy's amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act is described by Glover as "a shockingly manipulative attempt to force the President to sign ['hate crimes' based on 'sexual orientation'] into federal law." He added, "It is a shameless attempt to push the homosexual agenda on the American people by exploiting American soldiers who are currently in harm's way around the world."

Glover concluded the message to his group's supporters by warning of the threat to religious free speech posed by the Kennedy hate crimes scheme. He wrote, "Ted Kennedy and his far-left allies will stop at nothing to stamp out the rights of Christians like you and me -- even if he has to trample on U.S. soldiers to do it."

I’d bet that he’s got a fag or two in his personal closet that he is beholden to, so to speak.....or not to speak, whichever.

“What kind of people live in Mass. that keep electing this idiot.’

That is why I left Gagachusetts... the ‘Gay State’

I was born in Worcester, Grew up in Worcester County, and eventually found my way to western MA... Westfield. When those imbeciles declared that sodomites could get legally hitched, that was the last straw. I vowed to leave, and not even take the dirt on my shoes with me. I know first-hand what kind of brain-damaged morons live there, and they are mostly east of I-495. The Chappaquiddick Strangler should have “retired” long ago... Must be the booze keeping him alive, pickled that is.

Funny thing that nobody I ever asked would admit to voting for the philandering fat boy or his evil side kick, Lurch (aka John F Kerry).

Why not have it a hate crime when someone speaks badly about some Republican groups?

Can't we be prickly and thin skinned too?

Seems to me it's a worse crime when someone hurts a gun owner -- or a member of the military - or southern Christians...

Personally, I wouldn't be too confident that MA has honest elections. The Chappaquiddick Killer, Barney Franks, Gary Studds? That's a roster for a cell block assignment in a prison, not a congressional delegation.

And we know from the JFK race that Kennedys have no qualms about stealing votes, using union goons, etc.

Massachusetts has lost its great heritage of civil liberties and has become a bastion of libertines and corruption.

If the bill is written properly, maybe the Chappaquiddick Killer could be prosecuted for his hate crime back in 69.

I think leaving a woman to suffocate in a car could be considered a hate crime.

As my Grandma always said, “Honey, no one is completely useless; they can always serve as a BAD EXAMPLE to others.”

Fat Teddy proves this in spades ever day of his worthless life.

If anyone even suggested it, that worthless pipsqueak Goober Lindsey Graham would race to the microphones to defend the Chappaquiddick Killer as the greatest legislator in American history, shortly to be joined by others like John Warner, John McStain, John Kyl, (do we need to bar people named John from office or what?), Chuck Hagel, Arlen Spectacle, Mel Martinez, well, it tires my fingers to even try to list the number of Senator Chappaquiddick's co-conspirators and accomplices/enablers. Hell, even the president supports that murderous drunken philanderer from MA.

Stephen Wright the comedian asked something along the lines of “What do you do when you realize your sole purpose in life is to be a warning to others?”

This effort to promote homosexuality must be part and parcel of the effort to get hollyweird campaign dollars.

Hollyweird never learns, they have pushed two bombed movies about homosexuals as a comedy and both have failed.

I don’t know... Never considered it from that angle. I just think MA is full of liars, tyrants and queers... Oh My!
