The recent 'hate crimes' legislation that was pushed through Congress at breakneck speed raises a few questions:
1. If crimes against homosexuals have actually decreased, why does a special class of crime [and victim] even need to be created.
2. The recent treatment of Carrie Prejean by a pagaent judge, death threats against her from Britian, they should be treated as 'hate crimes,' right? I don't 'feel the love' in the way she is being treated.
3. Visit the Voice of the Martyrs [click to read] website and you will find that 'hate crimes' are indeed increasing worldwide against a specific minority group. Guess who they are?
4. You guys are really OK with the Iranian leader Mahmoud Ahmadinajad wanting to wipe Israel off the map? If we can 'just talk to him' why can't we just talk about things closer to home?
5. What? Hate crimes are only hate crimes when comitted against a certain KIND of person? It's not so much about the intent as it is about the victim's orientation. Matthew Shepard was killed for money. I don't think the perps even knew he was gay. Is it still a 'hate crime' if you don't know? Looks to me like this needs to be renamed the "Special Interest Protection Act." It sure is ignoring a lot of real hate.
The Holocaust, a time of true darkness.
Mahmoud Ahmadinajad would visit this
horror on the Jewish people again.
