Our SaveCalifornia.com people are pretty astute. After receiving our Oct. 28 news release exposing how Barack Obama is attacking religious freedom with his signature on the federal ‘LGBT hate crimes’ bill, Mark wrote in, saying:

The whole concept of “hate crimes” is a crock.  Murder is murder.  Arson is arson.  Robbery is robbery.  Assault is assault.  It does not matter if the perpetrator or victim is white, black, hispanic, asian, Jewish, Mormon, Muslim, Shintao, homosexual, heterosexual, polymorphous perverse or whatever.  How politicians can presume to impose different penalties or more or less aggressive prosecution based on these factors is ludicrous.

Mark’s remarks make total sense when you look at today’s shooting at a North Hollywood synagogue. The media, the cops, and L.A. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa spent half the day wondering if this was a “hate crime.” Now they’re admitting it may have been a “random act of violence.”

What ever happened to crimes being crimes because of what perpetrators DID instead of what perpetrators THOUGHT? If someone vandalizes a house because he hates houses that are painted yellow, why should he be punished any less than if he vandalized because he hates the homeowner’s religious faith? Are the perpetrators thoughts illegal? No. But his actions certainly are!

Beyond the lunacy and thought-police of “hate crimes,” another significant problem is how lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender inclusion in ‘hate crimes’ laws lay the foundation to legally promote and enforce these lifestyles above anyone else’s rights. 

That’s what’s happened in California over the last decade. Today, homosexual-bisexual-transsexual “rights” are more legally powerful than religious rights, parental rights, and ownership rights.

President Obama, by signing the ‘LGBT hate crimes” bill into law, is showing his disdain for moral values and religious freedom. Actually, that’s too soft. Obama is attacking religious freedom by punishing religious values that object to homosexuality, bisexuality, and transsexuality.

Don’t believe it or want to learn more? We prove it point by point in our news release:

“Mr. President, here’s how ‘hate crime’ laws trample religious freedom.”
