"PASTOR ARRESTED FOR PREACHING"

Follow the logic, though. It isn't absurd at all, unless you have some thing about protecting homosexuality.

If it ALREADY IS against the law to THINK a certain way about homosexuality, then it certainly is no leap that it could become against the law to SPEAK a certain way.

It already is, in Canada. Did you not know that?

It really isn't all that complex. I take it, then, that your misunderstanding is deliberate. Whatever; you can lead a horse to a chalkboard, but you can't make him think.

[Orual]

You ask that I follow the logic. Then you say:

It already is (against the law), in Canada. Did you not know that?

How many priests or ministers have been arrested in Canada for preaching that homosexuality is a sin?

[Orual]

Follow the logic, though. It isn't absurd at all, unless you have some thing about protecting homosexuality.

And what brilliant leap of logical thinking resulted in you arriving at this conclusion?

In case you missed O'Reilly's national daytime radio broadcast a couple of weeks ago:

It's already against the law in Sweden for a preacher to invoke the Bible or any other religious text against the practice of homosexuality. A minister, priest or rabbi that does so can be arrested for a hate crime, according to Mr. O'Reilly.

To both, I'd say, slow down, read the posting, don't spurt. If you want to understand, it's right there. If you just want to argue, find someone else.

Did you know that in Sweden, a country with a population only slightly larger than that of New York City, over 100,000 moose were shot during hunting season - this is a real statistic. I am guessing that you are assuming that because it is against the law to preach against homosexuality in Sweden, that we would follow their lead. .

The most preferred political party in Sweden is the Left Party. This is a former Communist, now Socialist, feminist party. See chart. The Left Party is represented by the top red line.

I think we're safe from Sweden's influence.

I'm with you Dan. I'm sure that had you told someone in the 1950's that most Americans by the year 2000, would be paying nearly 50% of their income in combined Fed, State and local taxes, they would have said, "It will never happen here". Famous last words.

I have read that Focus on the Family broadcasts must sometimes be altered for them to appear without sanction in certain parts of Canada. The reason is that speaking out against homosexuality is against the law there. I think it basically results in fines for violators. Indeed it could happen here.

[Orual]

If you want to understand, it's right there. If you just want to argue, find someone else.

It was not my intention to argue, simply to comment on the article. But I'll take your fine advice, my brain cells devoted to interpreting and questioning are turned off. From now on I will "understand" (your word) and believe everything I read without weighing the merits of the content.

[Orual]

Indeed it could happen here.

In churches, as the inflammatory introduction to this article implies?

[Siobhan]

No irony in it at all. Thanks for the ping though.

Hate Crimes legislation should be fought at every turn because it denies citizens the basic freedom of speech guaranteed under the Constitution or incrementally erodes the right of free speech.

Hate Crimes legislation should be fought at every turn because it denies citizens the basic freedom of speech guaranteed under the Constitution or incrementally erodes the right of free speech.

"Hate crimes" legislation is the liberals' attempt to have their cake and eat it to vis a vis crime. It lets them weaken the laws against violent amateur socialists whose families and friends tend to vote for them, while cracking down on crimes they find to be politically incorrect.

[Siobhan]

Very good points, Eric.

Does the Swedish Moose Club admit homosexuals?

[Orual]

Everything you always wanted to know about moose in Sweden.

[Zack Nguyen]

I would say that the Canadian scenario where pastors are fined or sanctioned will happen long before U.S. agents sit undercover in churches.

By the time we have government agents getting set to arrest pastors, we will not longer live in a Republic but rather in some sort of totalitarian dictatorship. And if the government feels bold enough to do that, then there would have long since ceased to be effective opposition. Not unlike Nazi Germany in the 1930's.

I know all about moose. I was born the frozen north and have killed moose with my bare hands.

As for what may come in this blessed country of ours: We have elected one Klinton and it is not inconceivable that our learned citezenry will elect anotheronce the 'Pubs have had their licks in.

I've been watchig Wily Hillary. Coming to a station near you, sweetheart. (Like some brie??)

Thought Police? Not to worry...I did a search on "Conservative Truth" for Bilderberger and drew a blank.
Rest assured that your source is fully NWO compliant.
