Bogus "Hate Crimes" Bill Vetoed

As disappointing as Bush The Younger may be on issues like government entitlement programs or illegal aliens, there are times when he is still a godsend. This is one of them.

In general, "hate crime laws" are in effect designed to coddle criminals if they are of the "right" racial or ethnic background. Note how victims like Reginald Denny or Korean store owners DON'T COUNT if they are attacked by criminals who happen to be African (Anti)-American. Indeed, criminals of that sort who kill white police officers in cold blood become heroes to the Demunist Commiecrat Left: Mumia Abu-Jamal, anyone?

But it gets worse. This legislation actually creates two new federally-protected minority groups: “sexual orientation” and “gender identity” – both of which are undefined by the law.

This legislation strikes at the heart of free speech and freedom of expression. Why? Because statements critical of sexual orientation or gender identity can be prosecuted. European examples are already there, and no doubt the Left wants that here too.

Alas, there are all too many RINO Republicans who voted for HR 1592. , Contact them and as nicely as possible, tell them you are disappointed:
