Thought Police vs. Christianity

WorldNetDaily asks, Will Bush veto 'thought police'?

The nation's largest public policy women's group is asking President Bush to commit to a veto of a "hate crimes" plan that, as WND has reported, opponents fear would target Christians and be used to demolish both freedom of speech and religion in the United States.

"Last week the House Judiciary Committee, egged on by radical homosexual groups, passed what can only be called a Thought Crimes bill," said former White House insider Chuck Colson in his Breakpoint commentary. "It's called the Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act. But this bill is not about hate. It's not even about crime. It's about outlawing peaceful speech – speech that asserts that homosexual behavior is morally wrong."

Peter Beddow, a new blogging acquaintance of mine, said it best: "Thou shalt not kill, but thou really shalt not kill if thou hatest thy victim." Be sure to check out his blog.

When did the 1st Amendment become null and void?

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

The very idea of a "thought crime" couldn't be more ludicrous. No rational person could ever imagine such a bill passing, yet it could very well pass and become law.

How can Constitution loving people sit back and take this? Worse, how can "free exercising" Christians not be enraged at the thought of this becoming law. Thank goodness for the ones who are fighting this, but I know there are millions of Church goers who aren't paying attention to what's happening to them before their sleep encrusted eyes.

Wake up, Christians!
