Are You Non-PC? I Hope You Like Prison!

Christians in bull's-eye in new 'hate crimes' plan - Congress working to create penalties for non-PC views

A fast-tracked congressional plan to add special protections for homosexuals to federal law would turn "thoughts, feelings, and beliefs" into criminal offenses and put Christians in the bull's-eye, according to opponents.

"H.R. 1592 is a discriminatory measure that criminalizes thoughts, feelings, and beliefs [and] has the potential of interfering with religious liberty and freedom of speech," according to a white paper submitted by Glen Lavy, of the Alliance Defense Fund.

... Laws like this, if passed, go beyond denying free speech. They are FASCIST!

"As James Jacobs and Kimberly Potter observed in Hate Crimes, Criminal Law, and Identity Politics, 'It would appear that the only additional purpose [for enhancing punishment of bias crimes] is to provide extra punishment based on the offender's politically incorrect opinions and viewpoints,'" said Lavy.

Mr. Tiger, PC is sickeningly accelerating. I am ready to move to Poland where the PM is fighting to keep family values in schools. It is sickening that America, after fighting and winning wars for freedom, is becoming marxist.
Why aren't our checks and balances being enforced? Our freedoms are gone. We are proles existing for a marxist elite.

Yes, the "thought police" are running rampant. Let's see how far this "legislation" gets before we become too worried.

I heard something on a talk show recently that makes sense. The correct path to take does not always exist halfway between left and right extremes. Sometimes it's a good thing to go far "left", sometimes far "right".

The only real way, in an open, free society, to find the correct path, is public dialogue without hindrance and control. That lone desperate voice just might be the correct solution!

Laws like this, if passed, go beyond ruining free speech. They are FASCIST!
