HR 1592 will deprive fundy christians of their god-given right to bash queers, not limit free hate speech and incitement to hate crimes.If there is an atheist conspiracy and agenda, I will gladly join in.

HR 1592 could be used to silence unpopular speech if the speech is deemed to be casue a sense of intimidation. Xians have every right to say and believe that homosexuality is wrong just as I have every right to think and say that religion is ignorant and stupid. We already have laws which punish assault and we really don't need more legislation that carries different punishment based on the attackers beliefs and thus creates Orwellian thought crimes. That's not an America I want to live in.<br /> Oh, and Chuck Norris is a fucking idiot. Hate crime legislation is unecessary and unconstitutional.

In fact, right now, they are coalescing and rallying at least 5 million of their troops to mount counter offensives to Christianity.

How come I didn’t know about this?

Was there a signing bonus?

I wonder what the oath of allegience sounds like…

Damn, I want in on some of the action.
