Attack On Free Speech Exposed

Where the new Hate Crime legislation is going




I've been meaning to research and write a piece on the blatant left-wing attack on Christianity and free speech that is underway, but a woman named Janet Porter beat me to it, and did a better job than I could have.

In a piece called Here's 'change': End of free speech, Ms. Porter raises the red flag of indignation as a warning to the punishments we might all soon face for having an opinion.

An excerpt:

Two bills are already in the House Judiciary Committee: H.R.256 and H.R.262. We've been lead to believe it's about crime, but there are already laws against crime. This thing is about speech. Don't believe me? Rep. (and former judge) Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, pointed out in the House Judiciary Committee the bill "is going to put pastors in prison." Title 18 of the U.S. Criminal Code, Section 2 (a) reads:

(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

That means if you "counsel someone," or write a book, or read from the Bible (such as what Obama says is an "obscure" passage in the first chapter of Romans), you could be found guilty of "inducing" someone to commit a crime.

The Homosexual Triangle Foundation's executive director, Jeff Montgomery, told the Saginaw News back in April 2005: "Vocal anti-gay activists should be held accountable as accessories to these crimes because, many times, it is their rhetoric that led the perpetrators to believe their crimes are OK."

There it is. If your beliefs don't echo the left's, they are rhetoric, leading perpetrators to commit crimes.
