A lot of these are freaky...and she’s entitled to her opinion. Hate?? It’s not a “hate” question.
To: All
'I've never been in any kind of trouble before so I was stunned to have two police officers knocking at my door,' she said. 'Their presence in my home made me feel threatened. It was a very unpleasant experience. 'The officers told me that my letter was thought to be an intention of hate but I was expressing views as a Christian.' Mrs Howe's case has been taken up by the Christian Institute, which is looking into potential breaches of freedom of speech and religious rights under the Human Rights Act, either by Norwich City Council or Norfolk Police. And homosexual equality pressure group Stonewall has branded the authorities' response ' disproportionate'. Mrs Howe claims she was 'verbally abused' while distributing 'Christian leaflets' at the march in the centre of Norwich in July. She said someone 'whispered something in my ear and disappeared'. She fired off a letter to the council describing the march as a 'public display of indecency' that was 'offensive to God'........... She wrote: 'It is shameful that this small but vociferous lobby should be allowed such a display unwarranted by the minimal number of homosexuals.'

The forgotten clause, “. . . (N)or prohibit the free exercise thereof.”
I gotta hand it to the Left. In order to build their socialist Utopia it is necessary to eradicate Christianity. Starting about fifty years ago, with the federal courts on their side, they have made extraordinary progress.

Two officers later turned up at the frightened grandmother’s home and lectured her about her choice of words before telling her she would not be prosecuted.
institutionalized insanity!

Ah, but you’re thinking that the Socialist Utopia is the end goal (which it might be with SOME of the secular humanists) and that Christianity stands in the way.
No, my FRiend, the eradication of Christianity has always been the ultimate goal. Socialism and humanism are just palatable vehicles to do so. See tagline.

Thoughts and expressions are now crimes in the U.K. Coming soon to the U.S. Unless we can throw out the socialists in 2010.

It happened in the UK, where Christians have no rights.
Coming to America, soon...

This is what hate crimes legislation is all about. Look forward to more and more of these stories in the near future.

That clause doesn’t apply in Britain. Our own version of speech suppression is now on the President’s desk though.

Seriously though I just skimmed the extract and though it was set in San Francisco.

I wonder what the homosexuals are going to do WHEN Sharia law takes hold in the UK.
They will find that Christians are far more tolerant of homosexuals than Muslims.

The day my commander tells me to go give someone a hard time because they voiced their peaceful opinion/dissent on the grounds of their individual beliefs is the day I turn my badge in. Then I will go out and voice my own opinions and if one of my fellow officers wants to arrest me over it, well, sorry brother, you are about to have the worst resisting you ever had. Stretch out first.
Oath Keepers may need to add another line.

Somewhere George Orwell is smiling. Wryly to be sure.
