Is it a
Crime to Speak the Truth?
In 1994, former
President Bill Clinton signed
the Hate Crimes
Sentencing Enhancement Act. With this law,
stiffer sentences were made possible for those convicted
under a "hate crime".
In
1998 while Congress was in recess, former President Bill
Clinton bypassed congressional authority and approval by
signing an executive order creating a special category
for federal job preferences and promotions. This
special category was comprised of, you guessed it,
homosexuals, lesbians, bisexuals and "transgendered"
persons. Now those who choose perverse lifestyles
have a special federal protection under the law when it
comes to employment. Additionally, AIDS was added
to the Americans With Disabilities act, thus classifying
those with a predominantly homosexually spread disease
as being "disabled" and thus eligible for federal
benefits.
There have been several other acts passed in the recent
past carrying "Hate Crimes Prevention Act"
classifications and names, as well as "Hate Crimes
Punishment Acts", all of which give special
classification to those who choose to participate in
lifestyles that the bible clearly condemns.
You
can rest assured that it has not ended there and it will
not end there! This will not end until
Homosexuals have classified and prosecuted every single
bible believing Christian as a "hater" and a "hate
crimes criminal".
The
American Psychological Association released a report
describing what they classify as a "hate crime":
"Hate crimes are message crimes. They are different from
other crimes in that the offender is sending a message
to members of a certain group that they are unwelcome."

Apparently, by
definition, it is now a "crime" to call sin, well ...
sin. This is exactly what the world wants to
accomplish and this is the thinking that is preparing
the way for that "Man of Sin" to rule!
HR 1592 currently
under consideration by the United States Congress
intends to criminalize thoughts, feelings, ideas and
beliefs and make criminals out of law abiding citizens
who happen to voice their opinion on homosexuality and
other sinful behaviors. This means that websites
such as this one and authors such as I would be charged
with a hate crime and subjected to imprisonment and/or
extreme fines for voicing our opinions that
homosexuality, adultery, radical Islamist Terrorists,
etc. are wrong! Does this concern you? Read
the bill for yourself: it is true that this is
happening RIGHT NOW in the United States of America.
HR 1592 has already
been endorsed by the majority Democrats and the bill,
once enacted and passed as law will be termed the
"Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act of
2007". It will make it a crime to preach against
same sex marriage, homosexuality, adultery, or other
religious doctrines and opinions.
This bill is
not about hate, nor is it about crimes: it is
about stripping away the freedom speech and the freedom
to hold sincere religious beliefs according to the
written Word of God!
How dangerous is
this? Rep. (and former
Judge) Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, pointed out on the House
Judiciary Subcommittee, if passed, H.R. 1592 is going to
put pastors in prison. Pointing to Title 18 of the US
Criminal Code, Section 2 (a):
(a) Whoever commits an offense against the United
States or aids, abets, counsels, commands,
induces or procures its commission, is
punishable as a principal. –18 USC Sec. 2
This means that a Pastor or any other church member who
counsels from a biblical perspective or has read from
Roman 1, I Corinthians 6?,Genesis 19, Leviticus 18 or 20
or other such passages, can be charged with a crime if
someone, somewhere objects.
BREAKING NEWS: The
House Committee has voted to APPROVE this legislation
(April 26, 2007). This is a dark day indeed for
America and for free speech.

If you DO NOT agree with this bill, contact them today
and demand that they withdraw their sponsorship, their
support and their vote!
Consider a couple of other well
known cases recently that have happened in countries
that have similar legislation (which by the way was said
to NOT be against Christians and their free speech):
In Australia, two evangelical pastors were charged with
violating the State of Victoria's 'hate crimes' laws
last year for criticizing Islam. In Canada, a
Catholic city council member was fined $1,000 for
publicly stating that a gay couple's lifestyle was "not
normal and not natural..
Did you know in New Jersey and New Hampshire it is
already a "hate crime" to communicate in a manner
likely to cause "annoyance or alarm.". Annoyance?

After
Criminalization, there is one thing left ...
