> BREAKING NEWS: SENATOR LEAHY HIDES "HATE BILL" IN PENTAGON BUDGET
>
> What do homosexual rights have to do with Pentagon spending?
> Everything, if you're a Democrat trying to hide an unpopular
> "pedophile protection" bill from the American people. On Monday,
> Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT) spoke on the floor of the U.S. Senate and
> argued essentially that since he couldn't get 60 honest votes to pass
> the "Punish Pastors, Protect Pedophiles" hate crimes S. 909 as a
> stand-alone bill, it should instead be attached as an amendment to S.
> 1390, the National Defense Authorization Act. Staffers for Senator
> Carl Levin (D-MI) then admitted the homosexual bill could be attached
> and voted on as early as Wednesday or Thursday. We may have just one
> more day to act.

> The Senate Judiciary Committee held hearings in late June on Senator

>
> *Attorney General Eric Holder linked the bill to illegal immigrant
> rights, but "national origin" is already protected by 1994 law, and
> 75% of Hispanics oppose gay marriage. Holder also admitted Christian
> pastors would not be protected if assaulted by violent homosexuals.
> * Senator Leahy tried to link the bill to a shooting at the Holocaust
> museum, but "religion" is already protected by the 1994 hate-crimes
> bill, and shouldn't be tied to homosexual rights.
> * Senator Feinstein hailed Matthew Shepard's case, but ABC News 20/20

> 547 SEXUAL DEVIANCES TO BE PROTECTED BY FEDERAL MARSHALS
>
> Even if mark-up amendments are permitted (which can be easily deleted
> in conference), the forthcoming S.909 will mirror a House bill H.R.
> 1913, already passed 249-175 along strict party lines, which makes
> "sexual orientation," "gender," and "gender identity" into
> federally-protected classes under the law, and codifies federal
> protection of up to 547 types of sexually deviant behaviors,
> including:
>
> * Incest - sex with one's offspring (a crime, of course)
> * Necrophilia - sexual relations with a corpse, also a crime
> * Pedophilia - sex with an underage child, another crime
> * Zoophilia - bestiality, a crime in numerous states
> * Voyeurism - a criminal offense in most states
> * Fronteurism - a man rubbing against an unknown woman's buttocks
> * Coprophilia - sexual arousal from feces
> * Urophilia - sexual arousal from urine
>
> Attempts by House Republicans to add amendments stating "pedophilia is
> not protected as a sexual orientation" were specifically blocked and
> defeated by House Democrats. Lesbian Congresswoman Tammy Baldwin
> (D-WI) expressed opposition to excluding pedophiles from the bill, and
> Democrats voted with her to strike any child-protection amendment. She
> claimed that pedophiles would not be defined within "sexual

> that phrase "sexual orientation," which Congressman Steve King (R-IA)
> said will include all 547 sexual deviances listed in the American
> Psychiatric Association's DSM-III manual of clinical psychoses,
> including pedophilia, so now thanks to most Democrats, child molesters
> will be protected by federal law.
>
> In response on the House floor, Congressman Alcee Hastings (D-FL) not

> defended by this new law, saying, "This bill addresses our resolve to
> end violence based on prejudice and to guarantee that all Americans

> PASTORS NOT PROTECTED BY FIRST AMENDMENT
>
> S. 909 broadly defines "intimidation," thus a pastor's sermon could be
> considered "hate speech" if heard by an individual who then acts
> aggressively against persons based on any "sexual orientation." The
> pastor could be prosecuted for "conspiracy to commit a hate crime" or
> for "inciting violence against gays" simply by quoting the Bible in
> church. And the First Amendment won't automatically protect pastors,
> since speech accused of "inciting violence" is not protected, and is
> punishable, under precedent of Supreme Court rulings. In 1993
> Wisconsin v. Mitchell, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld a "hate speech"
> law providing enhanced punishments for violent crimes based on racial
> motives as revealed by speech of the accused, (which would now apply
> broadly to punish any "anti-gay motives" in the speech of accused
> pastor "co-conspirators.") But pastor, if a crazy person in your

> IS PRAYER IN JESUS' NAME A "HATE CRIME?"
>
> Any public prayer against the sin of homosexuality could be construed
> as "inciting violence" by easily offended listeners, especially if
> those prayers are offered "in Jesus name." When I served our country
> as a former Navy Chaplain, for example, I was told in writing by Chief

> continued insistence on ending public prayers 'in Jesus' name'.could
> reasonably tend to denigrate those with different forms of faith."
> His policy prohibiting prayers "in Jesus name" was enforced against me
> at court-martial, before it was later rescinded by Congress in 2006.
> But this year I've already been falsely accused of "inciting violence"
> because I quoted verbatim from Psalm 109 in my public prayers, (for
> which secular activist Mikey Weinstein literally requested an FBI
> investigation against me!) Just imagine more anti-Christian

> IS PREACHING AGAINST SIN A HATE CRIME?
>
> As a former Navy Chaplain who was punished (in writing, three times)

> know exactly how they'll come after us. The enemies of religious
> liberty will simply declare certain gospel phrases "hateful" and

> Congressman Louie Gohmert (R-TX) agrees with me, saying pastors,

> FREE SPEECH SUPPRESSED IN NORWAY
>
> Hate crimes laws protecting homosexuals from criticism are already

> empower law enforcement officials to prosecute "intimidation" of
> homosexuals. For example, Congressman Gohmert warned "I was talking

> FREE SPEECH CRIMINALIZED IN SWEDEN
>
> In Sweden, Pastor Ake Green received a one-month jail sentence last
> year under a Swedish "hate crimes" law that forbids criticism of those
> who participate in homosexual behavior. The Goeta Appeals Court later
> overturned the decision. The government demanded the pastor be
> punished by appealing the case to the Swedish Supreme Court, which
> ruled the law unconstitutional. Yet here in America, the
> Reid-Kennedy-Obama trio is pushing to pass and enforce this same type
> of "anti-free speech" law, despite their acknowledgment that any such
> enforcement would be unconstitutional in America too. (They why pass
> the bill in the first place?)
>
> FREE SPEECH CRIMINALIZED IN CANADA
>
> In Canada, where "hate crimes" laws already passed, the Alberta Human
> Rights Tribunal actively forbid evangelical pastor Stephen Boisson
> from expressing his moral opposition to homosexuality. The tribunal
> also ordered Boisson to pay $5,000 "damages for pain and suffering"
> and apologize to the "human rights" activist who filed the complaint.
> His crime? In 2002, the pastor wrote a letter to the editor of his
> local newspaper in which he denounced the homosexual agenda as
> "wicked" and stated that: "Children as young as five and six years of
> age are being subjected to psychologically and physiologically
> damaging pro-homosexual literature and guidance in the public school
> system; all under the fraudulent guise of equal rights." The
> Canadian government tribunal ordered the Christian pastor to "cease
> publishing in newspapers, by email, on the radio, in public speeches,
> or on the internet, in future, disparaging remarks about gays and
> homosexuals." (This "re-education commission" reminds me of Big
> Brother from Orwell's 1984.)

> FREE SPEECH CRIMINALIZED IN PENNSYLVANIA
>
> Can't happen in America? It already has. In 2004 my friend Michael
> Marcavage was arrested along with ten other Christians (including two
> elderly grandmothers), and charged with violating Pennsylvania's "hate
> crimes" laws, because they carried signs conveying God's love at a Gay

> Elshinnawy, 75 year-old grandmother of three, was holding a sign:
> "Truth is hate to those who hate the truth," before she was hauled off
> to jail by police officers. They were literally threatened with 50
> years in jail for preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ on a public
> sidewalk, because it offended gays. That hate crimes law was so
> outrageous it was later found unconstitutional by the Pennsylvania
