State of the Union ... hypocrisy from the top ...

 Obama, the abortion president, made some interesting comments during his speech.  His hypocrisy continues...

We all know he claimed to be a Christian, despite his clearly pagan views, and despite the fact that he had no problem attending a racist church, and choosing to ingest their teachings for 20 years.  That is, until he decided to run for office, and knew he had better distance himself.

And of course he claimed on national TV - when asked when life began - said that the answer was "above my pay grade".  Which clearly is a lie, since he immediately passed laws to allow the killing of the preborn.  Only someone that knows for sure when life begins, would pass laws to encourage and promote the slaughter of the most vulnerable citizens under his protective responsibility.    Everything he says, and everything he does, proves that he has no clue what a Christian is.  At least have the integrity to be honest.  Don't pretend to be what you clearly are not.

Back to his speech:

He said he supported the discriminatory practice of prosecuting hate crimes. 

I don't know who came up with the idea that we should have hate crimes ("thought police") - but there is perhaps no greater threat to our freedom than this.  The idea that some people in society are more valuable than others is repugnant.  Hate crime laws are, by definition, disciminatory, and therefore should be abolished.  For discrimination to be promoted by a leader is appalling.

Someone sits down and creates a "list".  This is the list of "preferred people".  People that can be hated.  Of course ALL people can be hated.  The notion that there are "preferred people" for whom a stricter penalty will be enforced if an equal crime is committed against them, over someone who is not on this "preferred people" list, is discriminatory.  It is also illogical, biased, unfair, and quite evil.

The law is supposed to be applied EQUALLY to everyone.  There should not be 2 classes of people.  Those ON the list, and those unworthy of making it to the list.  The problem is that this list should have EVERY PERSON on it - and therefore NEGATES the very purpose of having the list.  You could argue that the person deciding who is not worthy to make "the list" is rejecting them out of hatred.  Oh the irony.

For example.  A woman who is walking down the street is assaulted.  Her attacker is caught and sentenced to 3 days in jail (welcome to Canada).   A male homosexual is assaulted to the same degree and the attacker is caught and given 1 year in jail because someone decided that it was based on hatred and applied to the victim because they were on "the list" of preferred people.

Who has the right to decide that the woman in this example is not as valuable a person as the man?  It is absurd. We are all equal and should be treated equally under that law.  All crimes are hate crimes.  You wouldn't assault someone if you didn't hate them.  The reason for the hatred is irrelevant.

The very concept of dishing out sentencing in such an unequal manner should offend everyone.

A person is free to think and feel however they wish.  To punish people for how they think is very, very dangerous.  Just wait to see how Christians will be persecuted further using the idiocy of this way of thinking.

We cannot claim to want equality when we promote such thoughtless and cruel discriminatory policies.  In fact, the more open and free people are to discuss issues, the more likely that their hatred will be exposed and can be dealt with.  Gagging their free speech is like sweeping the problem under a carpet.
