Representative Dan Lundgren (R-CA), the former Attorney General, had one of the best lines I've heard in the House, even though John Conyers silenced him.
Mr. Lundgren opposed HR 1592, the "hate crimes" bill, which gives homosexuals special protection and punishes Christians, and came to the point of calling it by its real intent:
"The (North American Man-Boy Love Association) Protection Act."
Protecting criminals and pedophiles, while punishing Christians. Our state's schools, thanks to the idiots in the student pile, endorse pedophiles working in our schools, but Christians are to be banned. Go figure.

So after all the hubbub about HR 1592, I decided to read it .
It does two things. First, it allocates federal assistance for juristidctions dealing with hate crimes that ask for said assistance. Second, it makes "willfully caus[ing] bodily injury to any person" for reasons of race/sex/etc a federal crime, with a minimum sentence of 10 years for a beating, and life if the victim dies, is attempted to be killed, is kidnapped, or is sexually abused.
It seems to me that those acts are already illegal. All the law does is make it a federal offense based on motive.
It doesn't give anyone special protection, and it doesn't punish Christians, or anyone of any faith.
Haha, the NAMBLA Protection Act! Cuz it has nothing to do with NAMBLA, but we like to link gays and pedophiles, whether true or not, to invoke boogeymen. Fantastic!
which gives homosexuals special protection and punishes Christians
Yeah! How dare they arrest Good Christians for killing people! We should do whatever we like, because it's in the Bible!
Again with the fucking "ZOMG!!! Teh gayz are all peedoh!!!1111one"
Did any of you think that a lot of gays (and their supporters) actually hate NAMBLA? No, of course you didn't. That would require you to actually think that maybe, just maybe, not all gays are child molestors.
Christians always feels so fucking put upon, so persecuted, as they love to say, but seriously, once the Christians got a toehold, they honed the persecution thing to a very sharp edge indeed.
Attention, Christian Fundies Nit-Wits!Gup and learn to give the respect to others that you demand in such a whining, self-pityinging fashion for yourselves.
Also? Saying something over and over again, ie. all gays are pedophiles, does not make it a true statement. Pedophiles can be gay, yes, but there a just as many, of not more, ratio-wise, in the heterosexual population. Stop lying, for Christ's sake.
Wouldn't it be interesting to see a Christian fundie beaten to a pulp for his beliefs, and his attackers sent to prison for a long time under the letter of this law? Might make for a bit of irony.
Note that this is hypothetical, since Christian persecution in America is almost nonexistent, but you get the idea.
Our state's schools, thanks to the idiots in the student pile, endorse pedophiles working in our schools, but Christians are to be banned.
They've banned Christians? Where does White Hat Bobby live? Saudi Arabia?
WhiteHatBobby is a fucking idiot if he reads HR1592 and equates it with giving pedophiles the right to molest kids.
And for the last time, homosexuality does not equal pedophilia.
The first involves consenting adults, the latter does not.
Guess which one does no harm.
Retard.
So, now homosexuals aren´t human beings?, now we have to forgive so called Christians, no matter how terrible their crime is?, thanks for reminding me how wonderful America is.
Homosexualtity is not pedophilia.
The only way a "Christian" is going to be "persecuted" is if he/she attacks someone for their sexuality, race, religion etc. If they are doing that, they should be punished, that is NOT persecution. Just because your book says it is okay to kill teh gayz, and heathens and adulterers and what have you, doesn't mean you are being persecuted when you can't.
How 'bout some turning of the other cheeks in your christian camp once in a while?
Let's see: homosexuals make up less than 1% of the child molesters in the US. Therefore, all homosexuals are child molesters.
By the same reasoning, all Southerners are inbred.
Educate yourself, Dan. You're embarrassing yourself in front of your fellow lawmakers.
How does this bill "punnish" Christians? It would be unconstitutional to pass a bill that specifically calls for the persecution of an entire group of people based on their religion.
Ah, he is taking the position that preventing Christians from spreading intolerance and hate is "punnishing" them. I guess you have to be batshit insane to think that makes sense.
Most of the acts covered by this bill already fall under the legal definition of terrorism -- yet are mostly not prosecuted as such when they're committed by conservative white Christians. Now that this bill has passed, less-severe penalties for terrorism directed against ethnic or sexual minority groups have been written into law. And that's still not good enough for Lundgren et al .
I swear, if I see one more, ONE MORE schmuck associate homosexuality to pedophilia, I'm gonna go postal.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
