'Hate crimes' law definitions would protect 547 sex 'philias'
By Bob Unruh© 2009 WorldNetDaily
The leader of a pro-family organization says families across the nation need to contact their U.S. senators now to try to derail a legislative plan that already has passed the U.S. House and is being awaited by President Obama – after a Democrat confirmed it would protect "all 547 forms of sexual deviancy or 'paraphilias' listed by the American Psychiatric Association."
WND columnist Janet Porter, who also heads the Faith2Action Christian ministry, today cited S. 909, dubbed the "Pedophile Protection Act," as an extreme danger to America.
As H.R. 1913, the House version of the Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act bill, the plan was adopted on a 249-175 vote, but not before several amendments were proposed by Republicans trying to mitigate the impact of the law.
Democratic Sens. Edward Kennedy and Patrick Leahy immediately introduced a matching plan in the U.S. Senate, and activists say a vote in committee could come as early as tomorrow.
The proposal, also called the Matthew Shepard Hate Crimes Prevention Act after a Wyoming homosexual who was killed in a horrific robbery and beating in 1998, creates a special class for homosexuals and others with alternative sexual lifestyles and provides them protections against so-called "hate."
It specifically denies such protections to other targeted classes of citizens such as pastors, Christians, missionaries, veterans and the elderly.

Protection of pedophiles but condemnation of war veterans as potential terrorists. Great job Dems.
ReplyDeleteThis law says no such thing. It imposes stiffer penalties on people who have committed violent crime on other people because of the victim's race, creed, faith, or sexual orientation. This doesn't do ANYTHING to protect pedophiles. It' spin meant to deflect the real issue. and 8:58, you sound like you've got ODS.
ReplyDelete9:19 Thank You for the truth. It is amazing how these lies get put out there when there is no good reason to oppose this legislation. Republicans overplay their hand every time and lie. The American people are sick of it.
ReplyDeletePut down the Koolaide Obamabots, how about actually reading the information before you start lashing out at anyne who does not agree with you.
ReplyDeleteJust another reason to hate this proposed legislation. Let's see what Kravotil does. Hopefully, he'll represent the Eastern Shore's conservative values
ReplyDeleteTotal and utter nonsense. The bill does NOT protect pedophiles. You dittoheads need to learn to think for yourselves. Maybe we should just change the name of the act to "Protect the Teabagggers' Act and you geniuses would all be for it since you obviously don't bother to read the actual bill.
ReplyDeleteDon't be so ignorant or lazy. Here is the link to read the full bill: http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/D?c111:3:./temp/~c111jGJjAg::

Here is a summary of the bill:
Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act of 2009 - (Sec. 2) Adopts the definition of "hate crime" as set forth in the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 (i.e., a crime in which the defendant intentionally selects a victim, or in the case of a property crime, the property that is the object of the crime, because of the actual or perceived race, color, religion, national origin, ethnicity, gender, disability, or sexual orientation of any person).
(Sec. 3) Authorizes the Attorney General, at the request of a state, local, or tribal law enforcement agency, to provide technical, forensic, prosecutorial, or other assistance in the criminal investigation or prosecution of a violent crime, a hate crime, or a crime that constitutes a felony under state, local, or tribal law. Directs the Attorney General, in providing such assistance, to give priority to cases involving crimes committed in more than one state and to rural jurisdictions that have difficulty covering extraordinary investigation or prosecution expenses.
Authorizes the Attorney General to award grants to state, local, and tribal law enforcement agencies for extraordinary expenses associated with the investigation and prosecution of hate crimes. Requires the Office of Justice Programs of the Department of Justice (DOJ) to work with grantees to address the needs and concerns of all affected parties in implementing grants. Sets forth requirements governing the submission and approval of grant applications. Limits the amount of any grant to $100,000 for any single jurisdiction in any one-year period.
Requires the Attorney General to: (1) approve or deny a grant application within 180 days after receipt of such application; and (2) report to Congress by December 31, 2011, on the grant program.
Authorizes appropriations for FY2010-FY2011.
(Sec. 4) Authorizes the Office of Justice Programs to award grants to combat hate crimes committed by juveniles. Authorizes appropriations.
(Sec. 5) Authorizes appropriations for FY2010-FY2012 to increase DOJ personnel to assist state, local, and tribal law enforcement agencies in combating hate crimes.
(Sec. 6) Amends the federal criminal code to prohibit willfully causing bodily injury to any person through the use of fire, a firearm, a dangerous weapon, or an explosive or incendiary device because of the actual or perceived race, color, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, or disability of any person. Imposes a fine and/or prison term of up to 10 years for violations and a life term if a death results from a violation or certain other violent crimes are involved. Requires the Attorney General or other designated DOJ official to certify certain findings before initiating a prosecution for a hate crime. Sets a seven-year statute of limitations on prosecuting such an offense not resulting in death. Prohibits the admission of evidence as substantive evidence in a hate crime prosecution of the expression or associations of a defendant unless the evidence specifically relates to the hate crime offense.
(Sec. 7) Provides that any provision of this Act that is held to be unconstitutional shall be severable from the remaining provisions of this Act.
(Sec. 8) Declares that nothing in this Act shall be construed to prohibit the exercise of constitutionally-protected free speech.
Why do the Dems always want to brain wash and rape kids whether it be mentally or physically. I see Obama wants the government to be the only entity that can give school loans which means they can set the criteria like a forced 2 years of servitude in the Obama youth org. and why the hell does he need an army of children anyway?
ReplyDeleteAnon 12:46 -- Wow. Just wow. If you sign your name next time we can probably get you professional help.
ReplyDeleteSo if you beat up a child molester its a hate crime?The whole "hate crime" tag is so bogus.Any assault or murder is a "hate crime".
ReplyDeleteAnon 2:19 wow just wow why don't sign your name ? I also noticed you didn't disagree and seems that anyone who does needs "professional help" which I'm sure you know all about. If you liberals didn't have your media filter and and more people understood the kind of world we would have if you had your way your agenda and party could not exist.
ReplyDeleteOK Joe...... the internet is winning, newspapers are shutting down around the country. Now you have to be responsible and not put this kind of stuff up without reading the actual bill. Then you would know this post is just giving out false information.
ReplyDeleteAnother crock of crap fron the Right Wingnut smear machine. If you bother to become informed and take an opinion other that the one given to you by Right Wingnut trash radio, you would know that this bill says nothing and has nothing to do with pedaphiles. Get a life (and an opinion of your own).
