Ellis Washington: "Hate-Crimes Law = Fascism"

Asserts the conservative Republican political science professor, who argues that the bill's extension to sexual orientation and gender identity is an attack on Christianity: "This hate-crimes bill should have been named the ACA – Anti-Christian Act – for this legislation in essence will put a muzzle on ministers and rabbis and forbid them from preaching against the homosexual, lesbian, bisexual and transgender lifestyles dominating our culture at pain of civil rights lawsuits, fines, arrests and even imprisonment. Are we living in America or in Communist Russia under Lenin and Stalin? Of the many constitutional problems with hate-crime laws, one of the most venal, surreptitious and reminiscent of George Orwell's '1984' is the fact that these fascist laws punish our very thoughts. It is not so much a hate-crimes law, but in reality a thought-crimes law, for (absent an invalidation by the Supreme Court) people, particularly Christians, will be severely punished for speaking out against what they consider to be immoral behavior expressly prohibited in the Bible."

He continues his commentary: "Once he has silenced ministers, rabbis and conservative media from speaking out against immorality, and once Obama passes the health-care reform bill and the Copenhagen Climate Change Treaty in December 2009, he will have de jure (legal) and de facto (unofficial) control over every American from cradle to grave. Remember, America's enduring symbol of the rule of law, Lady Justice, wears a blindfold. Why? To demonstrate that Lady Justice is no respecter of persons; Lady Justice cares nothing about wealth, race, creed, color, gender or sexual orientation. All that Lady Justice cares about is Veritas – truth. There can be no truth in law without morality. There can be no morality in the law without God and the Bible."

More: "Hate crimes or thought crimes? – Either answers amounts to fascism. The essence of Obama's fascist policies pushes America into the abyss of the New World Order or WORld Management System (WORMS). Obama and his dozens of czars believe in management by social engineers, rather than government based in Natural Law and a written Constitution. Only God and the Supreme Court can save us now. Will they act before it is too late for America?"
