Christians Love Hate

Victims of violence who are gay would have new federal protections under a hate-crimes bill approved by the House. The vote was 249 to 175, with most Democrats voting in favor and most Republicans against. The bill defines hate crimes as those motivated by prejudice and based on a victim’s race, color, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or disability. The measure would provide grants for state and local authorities to investigate and prosecute hate crimes , and it would empower the federal government to prosecute cases if states asked for Washington’s help or were reluctant to exercise their own authority. The Senate has not yet scheduled a vote on the bill, which President Obama supports.

Guess what? Yep...Christians and other intellectually challenged religious types are squirming like a swine's tail...they believe the law will outlaw proselytizing...and they won't be able to spread the 'god sanctioned' intolerance virus...

WE CAN ONLY HOPE!
