The nation's largest group of Christian media professionals warns that the expanded Hate Crimes bill currently before the Senate presents a serious risk of violating free speech rights of religious communicators. The Matthew Shepard Hate Crimes Prevention Act was introduced in the Senate last week just as the House passed its version in a 249-175 vote. It is expected to pass the Senate despite the protest from social conservative groups. The legislation is intended by its sponsors to protect homosexuals and transgendered people from violent hate crimes by expanding a list of federally protected groups to include sexual orientation, gender, gender identity and disability. Parshall said if the hate crimes legislation is made into law, Christian communicators could face prosecution for religious speech through already existing federal incitement and conspiracy laws.

Thanks for your fight for Understanding between Nations and People of Different Colors.
ReplyDeleteI got into trouble in Gather.com for defending the "Obama is a Great President" Hypothesis, and my spankers hate and abhor two Great Ladies that I love and admire :
A bunch of Republicans is spanking me !! - Many against one - Do you want to join a good fight ??
Gather.com is a wonderful site of Forums, Conversations and Discussions, People do not seem to be the meannest Racists or Lowest Scum.
I wrote a Leading Article, or Head Post in Gather.com :
I explained how Obama may last for 8 years or perhaps 16 years like Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
How Obama is going to "torture" the guys at Fox News and other Idiots
Then I woke up the Dracula of Republicans. My spankers have answered with rivers of hate against :
1) Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi ( I admire and Respect this Lady )
2) "The race card is the final hiding place of a liberal that can't continue a debate based on it's merits. I'm not saying racism doesn't exist, it does, but the Democrats manipulate it to further their agenda."
3) Furious Attacks against Wanda Sykes for Kidney of Mr Rush Limbaugh. ( I love and admire Wanda ).
4) "I don't have a problem with the color of Obama's skin, I have a problem with the thinness of it." -- Dennis Miller at Bill O'Reilly's comedy show.
5)"As far as you pretty much castigating the America youth as following sheep, it is what I would expect from a typical liberal."
I am a humble ant and my "Bag of Tricks" is certainly very limited. I am not the smartest follower and admirer of Mr Obama and the Democratic Party. I enjoy laughing at fools, but I consider that this fight is very uneven, many against one.
So if you want to say some painful realities to those educated by the Wisdom and Profundity, the Great Depth of Intellect of Bill O'Reilly and Dennis Miller go to the above link.
By the way. I still think that Mr Obama has gas for many years. He will be a Great President.
