    Is censorship a realistic fear in reaction to this legislation? I think not. On the other hand, perhaps the paranoid homophobic right wing religious zealots out there really do have something to worry about. What if pedophiles who use the church setting to prey on children were to be prosecuted more effectively? That could become a real damper on the business of selling God.

      This article quotes two people and then goes on to say that most religious people support it. So I guess in your small little mind, you can use TWO people to put everyone in one big group. That's pretty logical. Not!!!!

        b-happy:

        Speaking of small minds, why not try using your own brain instead of depending on someone else to do your thinking.

        How about READING the bill itself. (if you can.)

      What i don't understand about tight wing homophobiia is the fact that there's so many of them that are closet gays themselves.. Maybe when they are found out, some of the same should be meted out to them.

        Some of them do not want to admit it to themselves and some lead secret lives and use the safety of the church to hide away what they feel is shameful. And some are involved in abuse. But I think that the Church is less concerned for the most part about saving souls and more often about saving money and membership; they do not want the publicity that comes with offenders - especially when they are right wing members of their church.

        Strange. The article doesn't mention anything about "BDS" or "Bush Derangement Syndrome".... (e.g. Hate Crimes against President George Bush).

          Censorship is already a serious problem in America (see below) and "hate crimes" legislation will make it worse. We do not need to reduce tellers of truth about the corruption of America to be reduced to "american samizdat" - we already have too much suppression of real information in America.

          The Pulitzer-winning Investigation that US TV Censored

          The New York Times' David Barstow won a richly deserved Pulitzer Prize yesterday for two articles that, despite being featured as major news stories on the front page of The Paper of Record, were completely suppressed by virtually every network and cable news show, which to this day have never informed their viewers about what Barstow uncovered. Here is how the Pulitzer Committee described Barstow's exposés:

          Awarded to David Barstow of The New York Times for his tenacious reporting that revealed how some retired generals, working as radio and television analysts, had been co-opted by the Pentagon to make its case for the war in Iraq, and how many of them also had undisclosed ties to companies that benefited from policies they defended.

          By whom were these "ties to companies" undisclosed and for whom did these deeply conflicted retired generals pose as "analysts"? ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN and Fox -- the very companies that have simply suppressed the story from their viewers. They kept completely silent about Barstow's story even though it sparked Congressional inquiries, vehement objections from the then-leading Democratic presidential candidates, and allegations that the Pentagon program violated legal prohibitions on domestic propaganda programs. The Pentagon's secret collaboration with these "independent analysts" shaped multiple news stories from each of these outlets on a variety of critical topics. Most amazingly, many of them continue to employ as so-called "independent analysts" the very retired generals at the heart of Barstow's story, yet still refuse to inform their viewers about any part of this story.

          And even now that Barstow yesterday won the Pulitzer Prize for investigative reporting -- one of the most prestigious awards any news story can win -- these revelations still may not be uttered on television and are actively censored.

          Furthermore, we already have numerous examples of zionists like Spadecaller attempting to use chants of "hate crime" to cover up zionist crimes against humanity. Frankly I suspect that this "campaign for hate crime legislation" is mainly supported and financed by rich israel-first billionaires that are scared shiitless that Americans may wake up to what the rest of the world already recognizes. Did you see this news on your "mainstream" media news tonight?NO creation of more excuses for more censorship in America.

          Norway: 10 Israelis named in war crimes complaint

          A group of Norwegian lawyers filed a complaint Wednesday accusing 10 Israelis of war crimes in Gaza under the country's new universal jurisdiction law, officials said.

          Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, Defense Minister Ehud Barak and opposition leader Tzipi Livni were among those named in the complaint, the lawyers said.

          In a statement, the lawyers claim that Olmert, Livni, Barak and seven Israel military officers shared responsibility for "massive terror attacks primarily directed at Gaza's population."....

              Spadecaller -

              I have noticed that you just love this type of so called reporting. You seem to scour the Internet looking for articles that bash Christians. I find this appalling and consider it a hate crime against my personal belief as a believer in Jesus Christ. James 4:4 says, "You adulterous people! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God."

              Spadecaller, you a treading on dangerous ground and I would warn you of the disastrous results if you continue down this path, because God will not be mocked. By your actions it is obvious that you hate God and anyone who believes in Him. Your hatred for Christians and Jesus is based on what John 7:7, "...the world hates me because I testify about it that its works are evil."

              The Scripture is very clear that homosexuality is a sin and it time that people stop trying to justify their sin by saying that it something other than it is. There is coming a day when you will be standing before God to give an account for your hatred towards Him and His followers. So my advice to you is to repent of your sin and turn to Christ for forgiveness.

                He who denies me, shall be denied a place with my father!
                You could bash religion all you want, but you will find yourself alone and without comfort at the time of your death. And it will be here for you Spadecaller, sooner then you know.

                  The Liberal seeks to dominate any institution that can interfere with, weaken or destroy individual parental rights. Thus you will note that Liberals completely control and dominate public schools, child abuse agencies, pediatric associations, welfare departments, social service agencies and all NGO's that feign concern for the welfare of children. Why? Because in order for Liberals to impose socialism upon a people, they must undermine the ability of the people to govern themselves according to God's moral law. To accomplish this they must weaken the main support of morality. Strong families are one of the greatest threats to the final goals of Liberalism. The total disintegration of the American family in recent decades among some ethnic communities has occurred as a direct result of the design and intention of Liberals.
