Can you imagine being thrown in jail for preaching on what God's Word says about homosexuality, for example? Well, it's already happening throughout "enlightened" Europe and in Canada. And now it's coming here.We will now have a nation in which you'll be afraid to speak up on any vital issue for fear of "offending" some protected class or constituency, or of being accused of "incitement" against some protected class or constituency. What's more, the new "hate crimes" laws DO NOT PROTECT CHRISTIANS OR CONSERVATIVES AGAINST "HATE CRIMES" committed against them by the protected groups. The new law protects ONLY members of the protected groups. This gives them a free pass to wage war on Christians and conservatives. After all, they can't be prosecuted for "hate crimes" against you, but if you respond, you can be prosecuted for "hate crimes" against them! We will now have a dual justice system: one set of laws for the protected classes, and another set of laws for the rest of us. This goes against everything America stands for. In the past few months alone we have already seen peaceful political protest by conservatives and Christians being labeled as "hate-filled," "dangerous," "radical," "racially motivated" and "un-American." Soon it will be labeled "hate crime." You may think I'm kidding, or perhaps even exaggerating. I wish I were. As of Wednesday, you can mark the beginning of the end of free speech in America...at least, for Christians and conservatives.
