Speak of Sin; Land in Jail
Welcome to Post Christian America
A Christian evangelist who was once arrested, incarcerated, and charged under Pennsylvania's hate crimes law says the federal hate crimes bill that has been signed into law by President Obama is the most dangerous laws in the history of the United States.
The Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act, which was signed into law yesterday, creates additional penalties for violent crimes motivated by the victim's "actual or perceived" gender, "gender identity," sexual orientation, or disability.
Michael Marcavage, director of Philadelphia-based Repent America, was one of 11 Christians who tossed into jail and charged with a hate crime for carrying Bible verse banners and preaching at a 2004 homosexual pride event in Philadelphia.
The charges were later dismissed -- and in 2008, the state's Supreme Court ruled the law had been passed illegally by the Pennsylvania legislature.
Mr. Marcavage maintains the new federal hate crimes law is yet another move by the federal government to "silence Christians."

BTTT
Some animals are more equal than others.
We may discover that homophobia is not unreasonable.
I wonder if under the government run healthcare it will be illegal to test donated blood for AIDS and such, since it might be a hate crime to do so.
Why? Why? Why?
We all know why.
We just forget.

Who is the boss
When the body was first made, all the parts wanted to be the boss.
The brain said, “since I control everything and do all the thinking, I should be the boss.”
The feet said, “since I carry man where he wants to go and get him in position to do what the brain wants, then I should be the boss.”
The hands said, “since I must do all the work and earn all the money to keep the rest of you going, I should be the boss.”
And so it went with the eyes, the heart, the lungs, and all the other parts of the body, each giving the reason why they should be the boss.
Finally, the asshole spoke up and said it was going to be the boss.
All the other parts laughed and laughed at the idea of the asshole being the boss. The asshole got so angry that he blocked himself off and refused to function.
Soon the brain was feverish and could barely think, the feet felt like lead weights and was almost too weak to drag the body anywhere, the eyes grew bleary, and the hands hung useless at the sides. All pleaded with the brain to let the asshole be declared the boss.
And so it happened; all the other parts did all the work and the asshole just bossed and passed out a lot of crap.
THE MORAL: You don’t have to be a brain to be a boss, just an old asshole.
Alternate moral: No matter how well things are going, it can all be shut down by a single asshole.

I wonder who could be THE ONE.
That law prevents the free exercise of a religion. Should be challenged right after the activists try their test case against a Catholic hospital or charity.
This is just another assault on Constitution by barry sotero and his fellow travellers. What they never count on is just who is on our side. Fools.
Where is the vault birth certificate. Laws signed by an imposter do not apply.
