What exactly is it that differentiates a “crime” from a “hate crime?”

Why is this even worth the bandwidth?

This is good. Bush’ popularity percentage should rise a few more points.

The whole concept of a “hate” crime is ridiculous.

It is the Orwellian deconstructionism of the modern left. Some victims are more special than others.

You may not care but anybody or church that preaches against this life style could be in danger of fines and jail time.

They want hate itself outlawed — “hate” being any personal judgment of conservative reason.

"The White House issued a statement condemning the bill as "unnecessary" and "constitutionally questionable"

I wish President Bush would have applied that test to many other pieces of legislation that he signed into law.

What perversity is comming off in the Dummy-controlled House!

Seems they have the temerity to add this gay nonsense to a needed defense appropriation bill, merely to put the president between a rock and a hard place. This shows how little they care about the defense appropriation itself.

If I did not care, then I would not be posting out here.

In my home State, a few renegade jurists have come to a place where they are comfortable with the notion that it is permissible for them to be running amok with the Law!

The professional crooks over at Be-A-Con Hill in Boston have no sac, and they are as reprehensible as any group of scum bags of any class could ever be.

Unfortunately, my neighbors are too effing ignorant, partisan, or corrupt to actually give a sheite for posterity.

While I have nothing against homosexuals as long as they don’t hit on me or try to do anything with/to me, whatever happened to the First Amendment, and me being able to call him a long string of insults without getting thrown in jail?

My condolences to you and all Massachusetts conservatives. From a Texan standpoint, Massachusetts must seem like a hellhole at times.

condolence accepted, ill be leaving soon enough and i hope to take a house seat with me.

maybe MA can carve up a new district like illinois 4th congressional district when all is said and done and appoint it to another kennedy or bulger. this is after all the nepotism and gerrymander capital of the US.

That and the kook fringe on boards like DU and KOS who don’t yet approve because the current batch hasn’t swung as far left as they would like.

I disagree with Hate Crimes. I consider them to be unConstitutional because all crimes are motivated by hate. I just think our society has sunk to a new level of perversity when we are setting up a special class of protection for who people sleep with.

“They want hate itself outlawed — “hate” being any personal judgment of conservative reason.”

You are absolutely right! No one hates more than liberals, but in their mind they don’t hate or are even capable of hating. But anyone who disagrees with them are meanspirited and hate mongers. This is a very dangerous road to go down. My thanks to Pres. Bush for promising to veto this monstrosity.

About 10 years.
