Watching Congress Critters is not for the weak at heart. In the latest shenanigans, Congress Critter Sheila Jackson Lee has shown her Scalawag colors. In her proposed ‘hate crimes’ legislation, there is the potential to squelch free speech. The bill is named for a Texas adolescent who was victimized with a pipe.  Although Rep. Jackson Lee may have good intentions, the bill would authorize the use of  Federal policing for local matters. Hate Crime Legislation Proposed . Sadly the kind of thing such legislation seeks to remedy will not be prevented. There are several issues to bear in mind. 1) The number of hate crimes is small 2) Given that most criminal behavior is driven by hate, singling out the motivation is ludicrous 3) by criminalizing certain remarks and comments, the government becomes thought police 4) Hate crimes legislation has done little to prevent it OR in the recent Long Beach case Long Beach Hate Crime , to prosecute ‘Hate Crimes’ 6) In the hands of the occupational Yankee government, such legislation will be used to silence Southrons and other liberty minded peoples 7) the legislation is an attempt to ‘force’ those states without hate crime legislation to do so.

On a more humorous note, in the spirit of cooperation, Rep. Tancredo, who spoke up for Rep. Ellison when he wanted to be sworn in on the Q’ran had the tables turned on him. It seems that Rep. Ellison did not have the same kind of respect when Tancredo wanted to enjoy a cigar in his office. Ellison promptly  called the Imperial police to the scene of the crime (there was no crime-Tancredo is allowed to smoke in his office). Ah, can’t you just feel the LOVE.

Free Dixie, Not Iraq!
