Hate Crime 101

What is it about the human being that has become convinced they will never have to go through life without someone else offending them? Why do people demand protection from a system that can only show up late and draw the chalk line around the victim? It never ceases to amaze me the level of stupidly from our fellow citizens and governing body of legislators which brings this post smack dab into the latest Orwellian Thought Crime bill that is heading to Obama's desk and will undoubtedly be signed into law. It is a Federal power grab pure and simple so please, look at what it does, and I quote:

"On a vote of 249-175, the House passed and sent to the Senate a bill backed by the new Democratic White House to broaden such laws by classifying as "hate crimes" those attacks based on a victim's sexual orientation, gender identity or mental or physical disability.The current law, enacted four decades ago, limits federal jurisdiction over hate crimes to assaults based on race, color, religion or national origin."

This is all good and fine as the first hate bill is in my opinion totally unnecessary, but this new measure goes way past the first.

"The bill would lift a requirement that a victim had to be attacked while engaged in a federally protected activity, like attending school, for it to be a federal hate crime. I urge members on both sides of the aisle to act on this important civil rights issue by passing this legislation to protect all of our citizens from violent acts of intolerance," Obama said in a statement before the vote.

But now HERE comes the kicker. Pay careful attention friends as this is where your rights get trampled and even a small altercation could get you a felony conviction and YEARS in prison.

"Conviction of a hate crime carries stepped up punishment, above and beyond that meted out for the attack. The bill would allow the federal government to help state and local authorities investigate hate crimes."

Is this really a job for our Federal Government? Talk about an all enslaving big brother attitude. This bill will leave the door open for the FBI to investigate every traffic accident, every fist fight behind the bar, every domestic dispute and every quarrel in public between any individuals so that our loving, from cradle to grave protectors, can determine if there MAY have been some form of "hate" involved.

What a slippery slope we are now teetering on. Get ready, as Obama's 3.4 TRILLION dollar budget is now ramping up the next supreme alphabet agency bloat group of the week, the HCIA, which is coming to a town near you. Now we can all feel even safer as the Hate Crime Investigation Agency will be listening for any fighting interracial couple uttering racist slurs or an undesirable repeating a lawyer joke. When an illegal alien broadsides you with out insurance and they let him go while you recover in the hospital, better not mention the unjust treatment you feel or off to prison you go for a heinous hate crime. Didn't tip that dark skinned waitress because the food was lousy and the service worse? This could be a hate crime because you happen to be a different nationally than she. Think I am joking, you best hope the joke is not leveled on you in the tune of twelve years in lock down with your new wife Bubba as after all, posting this very statement could be considered a hate crime as well.

These kind of laws that try to legislate thought and human emotion are the ultimate big brother incursion of our rights. The underlying strategy is to make everyone guilty of something and this draconian pile of putrid trash disguised as a protective law is just what the feds need to assume our guilt while leaving the proof of our innocence up to us.

In signing off I just want to ask, Don't we have enough people in prison? Is this extension of an already unjust law really going to protect anyone, or is it designed to further fill our privately owned capitalist rehabilitation systems? Furthermore, how much longer do we as citizens have before they label dissident as a hate crime, and start filling up those Fema Camps that dont exist?
