Thought Police are here

yep,i agree with you.but talk is cheap,the question is - what are we going to do about it?

The Hate Crime Bill was passed as a means to control us. The thought police are already here. A man was in a bank giving a web address to someone in line, goes home, the next thing he knows he's got the police at his door asking him all kinds of questions because another woman in line "thought" she heard the word massacre. If you really want to know what is going on check out this website: http://www.TruthNews.us We are under attack but it isn't the minorities!

I'm really trying to be careful how I respond here because you make some valid points that I agree with but at the same time I don't know why it's necessary to bring race into any of these issues at all, whether it qualifies as "hate speech" or whatever else anyone choose to call it. The woman in the Duke case was wrong and, in my opinion, should be punished for lying and destroying those young men's lives. I don't give a rat's butt what color any of them are. Imus made a very tasteless joke, he apologized for it and that should have been the end of the story. The young women on the basketball team no doubt were hurt and embarrassed but if the media and the activists had just let it go from day one - or at least day two - it wouldn't have had any legs at all. Geraldine Ferraro was wrong for saying what she said and she's only made matters worse by her defiant attitude in recent days. Everyone gets wherever they get in life because of what they are in total and part of what Hillary Clinton is is female and part of what Barack Obama is is black. The fact that the final two Democrats standing happen to be a woman and an African American is historical, that can't be denied and to ignore it totally would be patronizing. As far as Cunningham goes, I think his remarks are indefensible and very infantile. He's Rush on steroids! You say, "It is OK for people to vote for Senator Obama because he is Black but if I vote for Senator McCain because he is white I am evil." If all things were equal in your mind on the issues, or even if you liked Obama better in some ways and you still chose to vote for McCain because he's white, that would make you a racist and, I'm sorry, but to me that IS evil. If you vote for the person you believe is the best one for the job, that's the way it's supposed to be. Considering any of us who are no white males haven't had on of our "own kind" to vote for before, I'd say why wouldn't some people be excited? Annie
