NEWS FROM THE SWAMP..............

An energized and revitalized "hate-crimes" measure (actually, left over from the Clinton regime) passed in the House by a 24 vote margin (223 to 199 ). This bill was an amendment to HR 3132 (the "Children's Safety Act") and extends "protection" to people victimized on the basis of sexual orientation and gender by including them into the already existing federal hate-crime legislation.

I do not see how this subdividing of crime victims even further into "special categories" will help serve our justice system. Clearly, it rejects the concept of equal protection under the law that our justice system (supposedly) searches for.

All violent crimes against people are motivated by hate. This piece of legislation, like all prior "hate-crime" legislation, is saying that some victims are "more entitled" to protection than others. Oh, really? Why should this be? Does this make sense? Of course not. This makes no sense, at all. Nada. Zip.

The thought police are getting stronger every day, and our rights to free speech are being curtailed. If you don't agree with the homosexual agenda, be careful of what you say...or what you think.
