Senate: Filibuster 'Pedophile Protection Act' now!

"There are only 242 crimes where there is actually some – truly – an assault, and we just rejected an amendment to including pedophilia from being a part of this protected class.

"Do you realize what that means?

"If a mother hears that their child has been raped and she slaps the assailant with her purse, she is now gone after as a hate criminal because this is a protected class. There are other protected classes in here. I mean simple exhibitionism. I have female friends who have told me over the years that some guy flashed them, and their immediate reaction was to hit them with their purse. Well now, he's committed a misdemeanor, [and] she has committed a federal hate crime because the exhibitionism is protected under sexual orientation.

"I know my friend said that we have a definition in the law, but there is nothing in this bill that references the definitions in the Hate Crimes Statistical Act … it's not there. We asked that it be added so we could get a specific definition. It is not there.

"And having reviewed cases as an appellate judge, I know that when the legislature has the chance to include a definition and refuses, then what we look at is the plain meaning of those words. The plain meaning of sexual orientation is anything to which someone is orientated. That could include exhibitionism, it could include necrophilia (sexual arousal/activity with a corpse). … It could include urophilia (sexual arousal associated with urine), voyeurism. You see someone spying on you changing clothes and you hit them – they've committed a misdemeanor; you've committed a federal felony under this bill. It is so wrong."

Black pastors: Rise up against perversity

"'Gender identity' protection passed through the U.S. House of Representatives last week, included in H.R. 1913 'Hate Crimes' legislation ('gender identity' means actual or perceived gender-related characteristics), sponsored by Rep. John Conyers. Rep. Steve King of Iowa calls it the 'Thought Crimes Bill' since there is no solid definition of what a 'hate crime' really means. In addition, King reported that Rep. Alcee Hastings has asserted that 'every "philia" (i.e. pedophilia, etc.)' should be protected."

and

"From the depths of my soul, I appeal to black pastors in particular to speak up NOW and stand against this wickedness and evil that has stolen the cause of racial equality and, as the Evil One always does, twisted it into moral decadence.

"If we do not, the coming tyranny and oppression of the church cannot be blamed on those who are separated from God by sin but rather on those who claim His name and became complicit by support or silence."
