Return of ‘hate crimes’ plan looms in Congress

A federal “hate crimes” plan to criminalize speech or thoughts critical of homosexuality – dropped from Congress’ agenda earlier because of a veto threat from President Bush – may be resurrected before the election, according to an opponent of such advocacy laws.

“Here’s ultimately what we expect,” Mathew Staver, founder of Liberty Counsel and dean of the Liberty University School of Law, told WND today. “The hate crimes plan is to be offered as an amendment to the Fiscal Year 2009 Department of Defense reauthorization bill. That’s what the word is, that it’s going to be offered as an amendment.”

Pro-homosexual advocates long have sought such a law but opponents fear it would be used to crack down on those who maintain a biblical perspective that condemns homosexuality as sin. Observers note that it would criminalize speech and thought, since other criminal actions already are addressed with current statutes.

Canada already has an aggressive “hate crimes” law, and there authorities there have gone so far as to tell a Christian pastor he must recant his faith because of the legislation that bans statements that can be “perceived” as condemning another person.

Some states already have similar statutes, too, and in New Mexico, a photography company run by two Christians was fined $6,600 by the state for declining to provide services to a lesbian couple setting up a lookalike “marriage” ceremony. Also, Colorado Gov. Bill Ritter recently signed a bill into law that opponents describe as draconian, with one analyst expressing the opinion that it actually could be read as outlawing publication of the Bible in the state because of its injunctions against homosexuality.

Staver said since criminal acts already are addressed with existing law, the only impact of “hate crimes” legislation would be to criminalize free speech and religious speech and a person’s thoughts. For example, an assailant convicted of attacking a heterosexual might get six months in jail. Under a “hate crimes” plan, if the victim reported being homosexual, the sentence might be enhanced significantly, analysts said.

Who knows for sure if it will be proposed before the election or not? No one for sure! Who knows if the Congress will be this transparent about their hostility and this nation’s hostility to the Christian faith when they next pass hate crimes legislation? No one, although they are so devious they will likely soften the language to make it appear there are religious exceptions.

However, you can be sure whether Obama or McCain are the next POTUS, new more extensive hate crimes legislation will be passed soon, it will violate the First Amendment, both Freedom of Speech and Religion, and step by step public expression of Christian faith will be a federal hate crime punishable by fines and prison, not unlike The peoples Republic of China. We are on that course now and absent another Republican Revolution soon, nothing will stop that anti-Christian legislation train from all but outlawing the Christian faith.

This is all done to protect homosexuals from having their feelings hurt when they pursue their perverse lifestyle choice, by any Christian laity or minister even quoting versus like this one: “Thou shalt not lie with mankind as with womankind: it is an abomination (horrible, condemned).” Leviticus 18:22

Court says challenge to ‘discrimination’ ban failed because dead voters not represented

Get this, the challenge to a law failed because dead voters were not represented in the Referendum. That’s right, living human beings in the womb have no rights at all, but dagnabit, them dead voters have a right to be represented.

Maryland’s highest court has endorsed Montgomery County’s plans for coed restrooms and showers, concluding that a challenge to the new law had to fail because there were not enough signatures on the referendum petitions to represent dead voters.

Opponents of the law say they are reviewing their options for continuing their challenge to the extraordinary law that essentially leaves private homes and private clubs as the only locations where a person would not have the “right” to use the restroom or shower room designated for whatever gender that person feels on that given day.

“The court’s ruling today is a loss for democracy, a loss for Montgomery County and a loss for common sense,” said Dr. Ruth Jacobs, president of Maryland Citizens for a Responsible Government.

A loss of common sense in our courts:

“The court ruled … that the [Board of Elections] should have included ‘inactive voters’ when calculating the number of signatures that were required to place the issue on the ballot. Months after the deadline for turning in signatures, the court increased the number of valid signatures required from 25,001 signatures to over 27,000,” the organization said, including the emphasis in its prepared statement.

Inactive voters are those who have failed to vote in two elections and have not responded to two letters from the government. Most are either dead or have moved out of state.

“We’re very disappointed with this court’s ruling, which suggests that, in America, every citizen does not have a voice,” said Amy Smith, an attorney with the Alliance Defense Fund, which was working with MCRG. “[The] court decision sends a clear message that groups with narrow, extreme political agendas can disenfranchise the voters of an entire county.”

Jacobs said the citizens’ group collected more than the number of signatures set by the county for the referendum.

“Amazingly, Equality Maryland demanded that inactive voters who have likely died or moved out of state be considered in the calculation to determine the number of valid signatures needed. This simply demonstrates that they will go to any lengths to prevent living, breathing county residents from determining public policy,” Jacobs said.

Gay Lifestyle a “Sewer” of Casual Degrading Sex, Drug Abuse and Misery.

Simon Fanshawe is a writer and broadcaster who created the documentary “The Trouble With Gay Men” after becoming increasingly alarmed at the shallowness and destructiveness of the “gay lifestyle.” The film, made for BBC 3 television, questions the emotional and psychological immaturity, narcissism, nihilism and self-destructive tendencies of many in the homosexual community. Fanshawe says he wants homosexual men to “grow up” and get beyond their state of “extended adolescence.”

Fanshawe, who was involved in the early homosexualist political movement, says, “We’ve fought discrimination and prejudice, only to wreck ourselves with drugs and wild sex.”

In his documentary Fanshawe admits that the homosexualist movement has in the main achieved its political goals of equalising homosexuality with natural sexual relations, in abolishing laws against sodomy and creating legal equivalency with marriage and adoption. Given these achievements, Fanshawe asks, “Why do we seem hell bent on behaving like eternal teenagers?”

“We’re hooked on vanity, and regard older men with contempt. Despite AIDS we’re still chasing the ultimate sexual high and what’s more are determined to wreck ourselves on designer drugs. We’re happy to assist the straight world in keeping alive the image of all gay men as limp-wristed queens.”

He says that he has recently “started to worry” about the ways in which “gay liberation is celebrated” in his hometown of Brighton, a major centre of the homosexual subculture. At the annual “Mr. Gay” beauty pageant, which he describes as a “pathetic display of self-delusion”, Fanshawe tells a contestant, “I’m old enough to remember when all those women were fighting against Miss World…What we’re all saying about ourselves is that actually to be really gay, properly gay, what you’ve got to be is cute, and young.”

“Extreme vanity” he says, has been “sewn into gay culture.” It “is now so mainstream in the gay community that otherwise intelligent young men are happy to be treated as sex objects on a demeaning meat rack.”

Read the whole article for a real world view of homosexuality and the homosexual agenda. This gay journalist admits two important things:

(1) The homosexual community has been very successful in making their perverse sexual lifestyle choice appear equal with heterosexual relationships and in advancing the homosexual political agenda, like homosexual marriage.

(2) That homosexuality is a perverse lifestyle choice, one that belongs in the moral sewer. What he fails to see is that this sewer is where homosexuality will for all intent and purposes remain for eternity.

This is an eye opening article that will upset homosexuals and homosexual sympathizers; but it contains many truths about the destructive nature of homosexuality to homosexuals and society as a whole.

GENEVA — The world’s largest particle collider successfully completed its first major test by firing a beam of protons around a 17-mile underground ring today in what scientists hope is the next great step to understanding the makeup of the universe.

After a series of trial runs, two white dots flashed on a computer screen at 10:36 a.m. indicating that the protons had traveled the full length of the $3.8 billion Large Hadron Collider.

“There it is,” project leader Lyn Evans said when the beam completed its lap.

Champagne corks popped in labs as far away as Chicago, where contributing scientists watched the proceedings by satellite.

Here is the problem and why I reject modern science as being nothing more or less than a secular humanist religion, with scientists as prophets and disciples and nothing more: They are starting from the premise, the hypothesis that, all life started with a Big Bang; and then they build this costly particle collider not to investigate how life might have actually began, but to prove the Big Bang as the only possible explanation. Now what are the odds that their biased research will produce exactly the results they have postulated? Right! 100%!

This is not science, it is a costly effort to prove a naturalistic causation for all life and disprove any Divine Origin. Which by the way they cannot absolutely prove in either case. But, seeking the Truth wherever it leads is no longer the objective of science, it is only the advancement of a secular humanistic religion at any cost.

Yeah, I used the Bourne name deliberately. These actors are children, they make a living by never growing up and playing make believe all their lives. They act and react solely on their emotions and parrot talking points by others of their partisan ilk. Sadly, some leftist morons take their opinions seriously.

“I think there is a really good chance that Sarah Palin could president. And I think that’s a really scary thing because I don’t know anything about her. I don’t think in eight weeks I’m going to know anything about her.”

‘Obama was a community organizer like Jesus ... Pontius Pilate was a governor’

Both comparisons came from Rep. Steve Cohen, D-Tenn., a supporter of Obama for president.

“If you want change, you want the Democratic Party,” Cohen said during his one-minute speech. “Barack Obama was a community organizer like Jesus, who our minister prayed about. Pontius Pilate was a governor.”

Cohen was referring to comments Palin aimed at Obama during her acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention in Minnesota last week.

Palin had made fun of Obama for citing his experience as a community organizer, saying, “I guess a small-town mayor is sort of like a community organizer, except that you have actual responsibilities.”

“What point was Cohen trying to make?” asked the National Republican Congressional Committee, pointing out it was Pontius Pilate who sentenced Christ to death.

One WND reader, expounding on the biblical references, noted, “The community organizer was actually the prisoner Barabbas, and the crowd shouted for him like a rock star instead of Jesus.”

Such comparisons only advance the Obama as Messiah image and undermine Obama’s candidacy, as even most Blacks would bristle at any man having a Messiah complex.

Indeed Jesus organized no one and nothing, He healed the sick and performed miracles to advance the Gospel of Salvation. It was said Barabbas, a man found guilty of murder was part of a Jewish underground, organizing others to overthrow the Roman Empire and replace it with a secular Jewish government.

Pilate agreed to the demands of the Jewish leaders that demanded Jesus’ execution, but it was the Roman’s, the Jews and the world that chose a murderer over the Son of God and they all still do.

Mother ‘drowned four-year-old daughter in bath because she was ashamed of her disability’

What is wrong with people? The father loved his daughter suffering from cerebral palsy, but this non-mother rather than run away, divorce or take some action to remove hereself from having to care for her daughter, in a cold-blooded act drowns her.

A mother drowned her daughter in the bath because she was embarrassed and could not cope with her disability, a court heard today.

Joanne Hill, 32, had tried to persuade her husband, Simon, to have their four-year-old daughter, Naomi, who suffered from cerebral palsy, adopted. But when the devoted father refused, Hill hatched a plan to murder the child instead, it is alleged.

After drowning Naomi, Hill calmly dressed her daughter - who wore callipers and was partially deaf - in denim dungarees and placed her in her child seat in the family car.

The advertising saleswoman bought a bottle of wine and drove around drinking for eight hours.

CCTV images captured Hill, who cheated on her husband with a work colleague days before the killing, joking with staff at a petrol station while her child lay dead in the back seat. She eventually took the youngster’s body into the casualty department of a local hospital in the early hours of the morning, telling doctors: ‘Will somebody help me, I think she is dead.’

On trial: Joanne Hill leaving Chester courts
Staff tried in vain to resuscitate the youngster, a reception class pupil at Golftyn Primary School, Connah’s Quay, North Wales, but she was pronounced dead a short time later.

Today Hill went on trial at Chester Crown Court accused of murdering Naomi on November 26 last year. Michael Chambers, QC, told the jury that Hill was ‘ashamed and embarrassed’ of her daughter’s condition and murdered her in a ‘determined and planned act.’

’‘Joanne Hill could not come to terms with the fact that her daughter Naomi was disabled,’ he said. ‘‘She suffered from mild cerebral palsy which affected her ability to walk.

“The defendant couldn’t cope with caring for Naomi and left a lot of the every day care to her husband Simon - she even suggested to him that Naomi should be adopted. “But he would never agree to that because he doted on her.

“Instead of seeking help from the social services she quite deliberately and consciously acted to kill Naomi.’

There were so many options, just like men that murder their wives versus divorce; but instead she decides that murdering her daughter is the best option. Why? What is wrong with a world that such selfishness, such cold-blooded disregard for life exists? So many people would have helped, there were so many options, but murder of her own child seemed best? Well, she was also cheating on her husband, so this woman had no moral center at all.

When we turn away from an acknowledgement of God, from sound Judeo-Christian morality, from a strong family and church support system and a sure knowledge of eternal punishment, life becomes increasingly cheap; and shame, fear and decency cease to exist in any real way.

WASHINGTON (AP)—Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama acknowledged Sunday that he was probably too flip when he said it was “above my pay grade” to answer a question about when is a baby entitled to human rights.

Obama gave his answer last month at a nationally televised religious forum sponsored by minister Rick Warren at his megachurch in Orange County, Calif.

Asked on Sunday whether the “above my pay grade” answer was too flip, Obama said: “Probably. ...What I intended to say is that, as a Christian, I have a lot of humility about understanding when does the soul enter into ... It’s a pretty tough question [Well, only if you don’t read the Bible].

“And so, all I meant to communicate was that I don’t presume to be able to answer these kinds of theological questions,” he said in an interview broadcast Sunday on ABC’s “This Week.” [Obamaspinmeister: It was not a theological question, it was asked and answered by SCOTUS and every politician should have a position as it impacts abortion.]

In a separate interview, the answer to a similar question came easier for Obama’s running mate, Sen. Joe Biden.

A Roman Catholic, Biden said he accepts his church’s teachings that life begins at conception, but that the issue is personal for him. He said it wouldn’t be right to impose his views on others who are just as religious as he is. [But he imposes his views on others by supporting choice and opposing Life. He is a backer of abortion (State sponsored murder of the innocent) on demand)

“I’m prepared as a matter of faith to accept that life begins at the moment of conception. But that is my judgment,” Biden said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “For me to impose that judgment on everyone else who is equally and maybe even more devout than I am seems to me is inappropriate in a pluralistic society.”

The Democrat Party: All spin all the time! We spin everything at supersonic speed until it is impossible to know what we believe about anything.

At least Biden had the guts to say he believed life begins at conception, even though he acts against that alleged belief everyday. Obama still totally avoided taking a stand of any kind, he makes Billy Jeff proud!

DESPAIR among human rights workers in Pakistan over a rash of so-called “honour killings” intensified yesterday when it was disclosed that a girl forced into marriage with a 45-year-old man at the age of nine had been killed by her parents because she asked for an annulment.

The girl, 17, who had been fighting a lonely but successful legal battle, was coming out of court in the Punjabi city of Sahiwal after being granted the annulment by a judge when she was surrounded by a group of men and shot in view of police.

The death of Saira Nusrat Bibi has added further to concerns among human rights campaigners already outraged over the case of five women - among them three teenage schoolgirls - buried alive in the province of Baluchistan because they wanted to marry men of their choice in defiance of the wishes of tribal leaders.

The Baluchistan case was worsened by an attempt by a member of the country’s national parliament, senator Israr Ullah Zehri, to defend it, telling colleagues that “these are centuries-old traditions and I will continue to defend them”, The Weekend Australian reports.

Members of the religious Jamaat-e-Islami party rounded on Senator Zehi, declaring: “We condemn this barbaric act. This is against Islam, against humanity and against civilised culture.”

Yesterday, the Government bowed to pressure and ordered an inquiry into the killings.

Details that have emerged from the village of Baba Kot in Baluchistan indicate that the three girls—aged between 16 and 18 - and two of their elderly relatives were “shot at” before being buried alive.

“When the fuming elders of the Umrani tribe came to know about the intentions of these girls, they picked them up from their homes along with two of their elderly relatives,” one account said.

“The crying girls were pushed into official cars and driven to a deserted area. There they were pushed out of the cars, made to stand in a queue, and volleys of shots fired at them. As the bleeding girls fell to the sand, the tribesmen dragged them into a nearby ditch and levelled it with earth and stones.

”As the two shocked elderly women tried to rescue the hapless girls, they too were gunned down and buried in the same manner. The killers after burying these women returned to their tribe like conquerors without any action taken against them.”

Honor Killings! Ah, what honor is there in murdering innocent women and young girls?

There is never any so-called “honour” in killing another human-being to justify any belief, tradition or warped morality. The barbaric men who engage in terrorising and killing young girls and women are the most despicable low-life murderers deserving death themselves. They are unfit to dwell amongst decent peaceful human-beings. Posted by: Jim Stevens of Melbourne 7:16pm today

Forget the sports heroes, all the movie stars, all the phoney baloney politicians, even Presidents, some real men live quietly in honor and dignity, they live and die as true heroes, like Ed Freeman

You’re an 18 or 19 year old kid. You’re critically wounded, and dying in the jungle in the Ia Drang Valley, 11-14-1965. LZ Xray, Vietnam.

Your Infantry Unit is outnumbered 8:1, and the enemy fire is so intense, from 100 or 200 yards away, that your own Infantry Commander has ordered the Medi-Vac helicopters to stop coming in. 

You’re lying there, listening to the enemy machine guns, and you know you’re not getting out.
Your family is 1/2 way around the world, 12,000 miles away, and you’ll never see them again. As the world starts to fade in and out, you know this is the day.

Then, over the machine gun noise, you faintly hear that sound of a helicopter, and you look up to see a Huey, but it doesn’t seem real,& nbsp;
because no Medi-Vac markings are on it. 

Ed Freeman is coming for you. He’s not Medi-Vac, so it’s not his job, but he’s flying his Huey down into the machine gun fire, after the Medi-Vacs were ordered not to come. He’s coming anyway.

And he drops it in, and sits there in the machine gun fire, as they load 2 or 3 of you on board. Then he flies you up and out through the gunfire,
to the Doctors and Nurses.

And, he kept coming back 13 more times and took about 30 of you and your buddies out, who would never have gotten out.

Medal of Honor Winner Ed Freeman died yesterday Aug 20 at 80, in Boise, ID.

None of that is Hollywood fiction!

God Bless Ed Freeman.

He didn’t receive his medal until 2001

ANCHORAGE, Alaska—Gov. Sarah Palin’s church is promoting a conference that promises to convert gays into heterosexuals through the power of prayer.

“You’ll be encouraged by the power of God’s love and His desire to transform the lives of those impacted by homosexuality,” according to the insert in the bulletin of the Wasilla Bible Church, where Palin has prayed for about six years.

Palin’s conservative Christian views have energized that part of the GOP electorate, which was lukewarm to John McCain’s candidacy before he named her as his vice presidential choice. She is staunchly anti-abortion, opposing exceptions for rape and incest, and opposes gay marriage and spousal rights for gay couples.

Gay activists in Alaska said Palin has not worked actively against their interests, but early in her administration she supported a bill to overrule a court decision to block state benefits for gay partners of public employees. At the time, less than one-half of 1 percent of state employees had applied for the benefits, which were ordered by a 2005 ruling by the Alaska Supreme Court.

Palin reversed her position and vetoed the bill after the state attorney general said it was unconstitutional. But her reluctant support didn’t win fans among Alaska’s gay population, said Scott Turner, a gay activist in Anchorage

Well it is about time the left started calling Palin a hater of homosexuals and found a faux Reverend Wright in her Church to make her look like Obama.

Palin is non-aligned, while she is an evangelical and has conservative Christian beliefs, this Church was not promoting gay hatred, they were to the horror of the Left, promoting prayer for homosexuals that wanted to escape that lifestyle choice. Horror of horrors, praying FOR people is just wrong according to the Left, prayer must be a sign Palin is a Right Wing nutcase.

The Gay community in Alaska reports that Palin, as a public official never worked against them, to cause them harm. She did, for economic reasons object to granting public employee gay partners financial benefits. Which is hardly earth shattering anti-gay activity.

Palin has strong core values, but there is no evidence as regards homosexuals that she has any desire to force her beliefs on others, especially the taxpayers.

Muslims condemn censorship of hadiths seeking dead Jews
University calls website statements ‘truly despicable’

This is one time I believe censorship to be wholly unacceptable, even censorship of hate speech, even censorship of speech calling for the deaths of other human beings.

Muslim students on the campus of the University of Southern California have condemned a school decision to take down certain hadiths – or sayings of Muhammad – that called for dead Jews and had been posted on a student group’s website.

“We are outraged at the censorship of a complete religious and classic text without consulting us or any religious authority first,” the Muslim Student Union said in a prepared statement. “The ‘compendium’ is now incomplete. There are verses in many religious texts (be it the Torah or the New Testament) that when taken out of context can be taken as offensive.”

He approved the deletion of the statements because they urged Muslims to kill Jews. The statements were in a collection of hadiths, or historical sayings attributed to Muhammad although not included in the Quran.

One of those whose testimony is included in the book, Ali, wrote, “The Quran is full of verses that teach killing of unbelievers and how Allah would torture them after they die.”

“USC, as a place of higher education, has prided itself on academic freedom and freedom of speech … The administration’s actions have gone behind the backs of their students and we have been left in the dark,” the student group stated.

The call to kill Jews, he said, “may be part of the religious canon, but that doesn’t make them less hateful.”

No, I don’t want Jews or other infidels killed! No, I don’t believe Free Speech must include calls for violence and death. But, these passages expose Islam for what it really is, a religion of hate and death, a relgion that promotes forced conversions or for those not converting their rapes, stealing of their property, torturing and killing them. In this case non Muslim students are truly kept in the dark about the true nature of Islam by deleting these passages from Islamic scripture.

These passages should see the light of day on every U.S. college Campus, thereby Islam will be exposed for the dark, evil religion it is and maybe then people will start taking the threat seriously, instead of talking about moderate, peaceful Muslims and burying their heads in the sand to protect themselves from the truth.

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has been subjected to an intense amount of media and public scrutiny since she was named as John McCain’s vice presidential pick one week ago. Many of the attacks have come in the form of unconfirmed reports on the Internet. Among them:

1) Palin “Joined a Secessionist Political Party”

The Charge: Unsubstantiated Internet reports insisted Palin was once a member of the Alaska Independence Party, which critics call a secessionist political movement and supporters say is dedicated to seeking greater state control over federal lands across Alaska.

The Facts: Palin has been a registered Republican since 1982. There is no record of her ever being a member of the AIP, or any party but the GOP. Palin’s husband has been a member of the AIP in the past, but since 2002 has been a registered independent.

(See: Party Official Says Palin Was Not a Member)

2) Palin Supported a “Nazi Sympathizer”

The Charge: “Palin was a supporter of Pat Buchanan, a right-winger or, as many Jews call him: a Nazi sympathizer,” Obama Florida spokesman Mark Bubriski was quoted as saying in a Miami Herald article.

The Facts: While mayor of Wasilla, Palin wore a Buchanan button during the sometimes presidential candidate’s 1999 visit. But Palin actually supported Steve Forbes in 2000, and served as a co-chair on his Alaska campaign.

In the weeks after the 1999 report of her wearing the Buchanan button, Palin said: “When presidential candidates visit our community, I am always happy to meet them. I’ll even put on their button when handed one as a polite gesture of respect. … The article may have left your readers with the perception that I am endorsing this candidate, as opposed to welcoming his visit to Wasilla.”

(See: Obama campaign advisor quote is from an e-mail sent to the Miami Herald )

I’ll leave the rest for you to explore on your own, but it is nice when people set the record straight with facts.

A group of citizens is outraged at a growing number of sexually explicit children’s books offered at local public libraries – including stories about lap dancing, touching, oral sex, gay relationships, love triangles and masturbation.

A St. Louis, Mo., chapter of Citizens Against Pornography is asking libraries to seek parental consent before making sexually explicit books available to teens, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported.

Parent Laura Kostial visited the Daniel Boone library with her 12-year-old daughter and described offerings as “shocking” and containing “erotic” messages.

A few of the controversial books include:

“Alice on Her Way” by Phyllis Naylor
“Growing up Gay in America” by Jason Rich
“The Little Black Book for Girlz, A Book on Healthy Sexuality”
“Rainbow Boys” by Alex Sanchez
“Looking for Alaska” by John Green
“Sexual Decisions: The Ultimate Teenage Guide” by Kris Gowen
“33 Snowfish” by Adam Rapp
“A Seahorse Year” by Stacey D’Erasmo

“By the time she’s in middle school, there is stuff that just isn’t for the eyes of an 11-year-old,” she said. “You look at the cover and there’s this little blonde-haired girl with braces smiling. It’s just too sexually explicit.”

Former Republican state Rep. Carl Hendrickson is chairman of the local Citizens Against Pornography organization. He is asking libraries to create and adult advisory committee to screen titles, seek parental authorization before allowing children to check out books with sexual themes, establish a rating system and move explicit books from teen shelves to adult sections.

Public libraries, tax supported, refuse to even restrict sexually explicit publications access only to children with parental consent, even for small children. This is about promoting sexual activity among children, it is not about censorship; but the liberal library folk think even small children should have access to pornography, and the only possible reason is to promote sexual activity among innocent children.

I have been reporting the stories in our daily papers where the police across America are behaving like cheap Nazi’s in their treatment of Christians that dare express their, alleged, Free Speech Rights. This is just another one of those stories demonstrating, as they did with the Christian girls engaged in permitted sidewalk drawings in Denver during the DNC Convention; an open hostility to people of the Christian faith and advocacy of the homosexual agenda and in this case promotion of state sponsored murder of the unborn.

The allegations in the case sound like a 3rd World dictatorship: Police officers talk over before the arrests what charges they’ll use, there are no explanations when the arrests are made, the suspects are denied access to legal counsel while in custody, and cops subject suspects to semi-public strip-searches.

Only this was in Bel Air, Md., and the pro-life protesters subjected to the treatment now have brought a legal action against the officers and town for violating their Constitutional rights.

“The truth of the matter is that our clients were heckled, arrested, imprisoned, shackled, and strip-searched twice for exercising their First Amendment rights,”

“This incident paints an ugly picture of the state of religious freedom and free speech in American today,” Kevin Theriot, ADF senior counsel, said. “The state shouldn’t prosecute Christians for expressing their beliefs on important social issues, nor deny them their constitutional rights.”

As least a dozen police officers broke up the peaceful protest set up by members of Defend Life. They were standing apart from each other on city property holding their anti-abortion signs touching the ground so they would not obstruct any sight lines, the ADF said.

The officers had ordered them off of county property because they did not have a permit to engage in free speech, the report said. And after the arrests, “Three young female participants – including teenagers – were subjected to two rounds of strip-searches,” the lawsuit said.

“The first search took place in the police station parking lot in front of other males. A female officer pulled out the young ladies’ shirt collars to inspect their breasts before reaching down their pants to feel around their waistlines. The Harford County Detention Center administered the second strip-search after the pro-life participants were transferred there. A female officer took the women one by one into a bathroom with a partially open door and ordered them to lift up their shirts and brassieres,” the lawsuit said.

Either we have unfettered Free Political Speech rights or we do not have any Free Speech rights at all. Either the Police obey the Constitution or we are a totalitarian state, in this case with the Democrats being able to use the police to further their political agenda.
