HR 1592 UnConstitutional?

[wrag]

Steps on many freedoms?

http://www.sierratimes.com/07/05/09/Paul.htm

will it pass and be signed into law?

“Criminalizing even the vilest hateful thoughts—as opposed to willful criminal acts—is inconsistent with a free society.” —Rep. Ron Paul

[Xargos]

Ron Paul seems to be the only one with a brain in Washington.

[Dadano]

Here you can find a copy of the bill already passed by the house. Rather than a particular politicians stance on the matter.

The very idea that a crime is worse or that it should be punished more because of what the perpetrator thought of the victim is a huge step towards removing freedom of thought.  and... freedom in general.

 the question each of you need to ask yourself is, "How many more freedoms am I going to lose, before I stand up and do something?"

Disagree.  It's a huge step to inequality.  But giving one race more bonuses then another, or punish harder for crimes committed against, you are encouraging everyone to not be equal, or to not expect to be treated equally.

Disagree with the Bill... am I correct?

I disagreed with Lazs, you just happened to post right before me.

[lazs2]

lazer..you weren't disagreeing with me so far as I could tell... I don't know who you were talking about.. I said nothing about equality for you to disagree with.

I was talking about thought.   what I said is what I said.  

you remind me of the lefties who get all upset with other lefties who don't tow the party line.

You don't like my pragmatic way of dealing with the lack of individualism so you look for a way to attack me in every way you can.   You just look silly doing it but...you can't help yourself..

Just like the lefties... I make you more mad than the real enemy.   I won't jump on your martyr bandwagon so.... in your mind that makes me worse than the hated lefties...

Glad I didn't try to say that better than Lazs.

So... when are the people going to tell the elected officials to stop missinterpreting the Constitution, and stop making up new ways to circumvent it?  For sure "We the People..." didn't intend for a bunch of greedy lawyers to...  

Oh hell, no sense beating a dead horse.  Those that know what's right here, will never be abel to convince those that want more gvernment ruining their lives.
