Government Wants To Make Murder Victims Unequal Under The Law

This article discusses congress debating expanding hate crime legislation (as if we really need even more worthless laws) and points out the total dichotomy of the Holocaust Museum killer having yet to be charged with a hate crime.

My problem with this is the same problem I have with any hate crime law. The article says it’s intended to stiffen penalties. Yet the article points out that Von Brunn will face the death penalty for the murder. So, where is the stiffer penalty? What are they going to do, execute him twice?

Hate crimes are a bad, bad, bad idea. They are intended to criminalize thought, not deeds. That by itself makes it Orwellian. However, hate crimes go the additional step to Wrongsville by intentionally making some murders worse than others. By it’s definition, a hate crime law says killing this person is worse than killing that other person. It places more of a value on certain lives, and that value is based solely on race, gender or some other trait that we are supposed to be ignoring.

When it’s not murder, hate crimes are even worse. Hate crime supporters believe that if a person is mugged, they deserve X punishment. However, if the victim is black or gay, then punishment should be X + Y. Why is that? They can’t be saying that punishment can be a deterrent. We know that because they have insisted for decades that capital punishment is not a deterrent. Why are you placing more value on a black or gay victim than a victim in general?

Only Right Wing Views Are Extremist And Have Consequences

Joan Walsh, editor of Salon.com, that bastion of fairness, went on another bastion of fairness, Hardball, and declared that Rush Limbaugh is to blame for the Holocaust Museum murder.

She then posted her own blog claiming that “right wing” talk can lead to murder.

So, when a conservative woman is raped, will Ms. Walsh blame Playboy and Politico? Will she blog about left wing hate talk?

Holocaust Museum Murderer Was Equal Opportunity Hater

The idiot who killed the Holocaust Museum security guard has been touted by the mainstream media as being a puppet of the conservatives. They have blamed O’Reilly and Limbaugh for his actions.

Turns out to be completely false. This jerk was a full-on wacko who hated pretty much everyone, conservatives and liberals alike. You can read about the truth here or here. Or you can read here that he was a Christian-hating socialist.

We’ll accept the leftie’s apology soon after it’s given.
