Pass The Ammo

JJ and I were discussing politics, Hillary, hate crimes when the fact came up that hate crimes are thought crimes, and therefore un-constitutional. So I looked around the innernets and found this great article on the subject. The domain was expired, but I pulled this article from a cached page. Good reading.

“I have sworn upon the altar of God, eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man.”
- Thomas Jefferson

A form of tyranny over the mind of man that Thomas Jefferson feared has taken root in America under the guise of the politically correct war on so-called prejudicially motivated acts of violence. In Washington, they call it Hate Crime, what it really is, is Thought Crime.

We all know the story of the dragging death of a black man in Texas, classified and prosecuted under this relatively recent category of crime. The story for public consumption on this concept is that some crimes are motivated purely out of hate for race, religion or national origin, and thus are somehow worse crimes than others that have the same result—although I’ve yet to have someone show me a murder that was committed out of pure love and affection for the victim.

If Moe kills Larry during a fight and Moe calls Larry a black SOB during the murder, somehow that is worse than if Moe kills Curly and says nothing. The fact remains however both Curly and Larry are dead at the hands of Moe. Under the Hate Crime Law, the prosecution of Moe for Larry’s murder can be treated differently and the punishment much more severe than for Curly’s murder. The difference here, according to the federal government, is what was in the mind of Moe when he killed Larry. What Moe was thinking however can only be found within the personal depths of Moe’s mind and nowhere else. Murder is an overt act but hate, by its very nature, stems from thought…an internalized process. What is “hate crime” then if not the ability of the state to determine and then prosecute man based on his thoughts? Read the rest of this entry »

I just had to share this.

A Fredericksburg man was arrested Saturday on charges he assaulted three strangers at their home during a dispute over politics, police said.

According to a Fredericksburg police report, the suspect went to a home after finding one of the resident’s name on a Republican Web site.

The resident and his two roommates engaged in a discussion with the suspect, though none of them had ever met or had contact with him before.

The argument got heated and the suspect learned that the young residents had not enlisted in the military and “put their all” behind the Republican-led war effort in Iraq, police spokeswoman Natatia Bledsoe said.

The suspect refused to leave the home after repeatedly being asked to do so, police said. The three roommates were hit multiple times each as they attempted to get the suspect out of the door, authorities said.

The suspect continued to be aggressive and disorderly even after a city police officer arrived, the report states.

I think this guy is confused. Everything about him screams republican. He needs to be on our side. And definitely join up with the service. His testosterone levels are through the roof. He should put all that excitement to a better use, like kicking in the doors of terrorists, and maybe even fighting crime in the streets of New Orleans.

Hattip: Daily Gut, Michelle Malkin

We need to pull out immediately. Every day New Orleans is looking more and more like Vietnam. I’m blaming the huge loss of life (PDF) on the incompetent Bush regime. The insurgent children and their damn assault rifles… it’s because of our occupation that they don’t mind shooting each other up in broad daylight.
