Yet another liberal attack on the 14th Amendment:
That’s right, S. 909 — aka, the “hate crimes bill” — being pushed through by the Obama Administration as one of its highest legislative priorities would make it a federal crime to commit a violent act against anyone based on race or gender orientation – unless the race was Caucasian and the orientation was towards the opposite sex.
Lest anyone have any doubts about Mr. Obama’s primary intention to target those who don’t share his pigmentation or gender orientation biases, the President’s own Attorney General journeyed to Capitol Hill on June 29 to set the record straight. Here, in fact, word for word, is how AG Eric Holder described the intent of the Obama hate crimes bill when put to the test by Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL), the ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee:
“We are talking about, if in fact the person, we are talking about crimes that have a historic basis. Groups who have been targeted for violence as a result of their skin color, sexual orientation, that is what this legislation is designed to cover.”
You know, I’ve never understood these types of laws. If one person is murdered by another, and the murderer is caught, tried, convicted, and then sentenced to death, what else are you going to do? Use dirty needles if his crime was motivated by hate? Make the murderer eat really bad Chinese takeout for his last meal? I mean, death is death and you can’t really punish someone any more than that.
So, it looks like the Obama Administration wants certain victims of crime (i.e. “protected classes”) to be taken more seriously than others. That is, if you are a white, heterosexual Christian, your murder, in the eyes of the Obama Administration, is less horrific to society and is less of an offense against the law than a non-white, gender bending pagan.
Here’s another example of “justice” under this proposed bill:
For example, Mormons living in California who have been the targets of various criminal acts committed by gay extremists including vandalism, extortion, and verbal and physical attacks would not be victims of “hate crimes” per se, even though they were targeted by gay extremists solely because of their affiliation with the Mormon church.
So, even if a white person’s murder was motivated by hate, the bill won’t apply to his murderer. How’s that for equal protection under the law? Didn’t Obama claim that he was a Constitutional Law Professor? Man, do I feel sorry for anyone who he has “educated” regarding our Constitution. Then again, if you’re going to destroy something, it is probably easier to do if you know exactly what it is you’re destroying.
The damage this “man” is doing to our country, our way of life, our judicial system, and economy will take many decades to repair, if it can be repaired at all.

This is not surprising, look at the “new” black panther’s who violated election laws (and intimidated voters) and the charges were dropped by Holder.
