The Criminals Who Would Be Kings
Report for June 18, 2004
There is joy in New Sodom, as evidenced by
this press release from the sodomite Log Cabin Republicans. The
"conservative" Republican-led Senate has passed the hate crime
bill so desired by the sodomites as a giant step toward hate speech laws
criminalizing "homophobia." The Local Law Enforcement
Enhancement Act, especially the "hate crime" segment, is
unbiblical; unconstitutional; unconscionable; and if large numbers of
Christians do not pray, act, and call their congressional representatives,
unstoppable. In short, the hate crime provision of the LLEEA is about even
more than unequal protection under the law and granting a de
facto title of nobility to those who commit acts which are decidedly
ignoble, to say the least. It is also about intimidating a nation into
abandoning "intolerance" of sexual perversion to in turn embrace
the sexual perverts as "a valued part of our great country" (see
below). Sounds like a federal mandate backed by the full power of the
federal government, doesn't it?
Call and write your congressman (http://www.house.gov/writerep/)!
Make sure he knows that you mean business on this one. If it passes,
true liberty for Christians will soon be a thing of the past! Be sure
to pray that the Lord will have mercy on His people in this matter. If
your church is not publicly defending and defining the Word of God against
the predations and lies of the sodomites, isn't it time your church did
so? If we desire the Lord's protection and aid at this critical time, then
we must live and act as His "peculiar people, zealous of good
works" (Titus 2:14).

lawlessness and hate righteousness.
Log Cabin Republicans News Release
For Immediate Release
June 15, 2004
Log Cabin Republicans Applaud Senate for Passage
of Hate Crimes Legislation
18 Republican Senators, Led by Gordon Smith, Vote for Bipartisan Passage
of Historic Bill
(Washington, DC)-The Log Cabin Republicans
applaud the United States Senate for passage of hate crimes legislation.
The Local Law Enforcement Enhancement Act (LLEEA), more commonly known as
hate crimes legislation, expands the definition of "hate crime"
to include a violent act causing death or bodily injury because of the
actual or perceived sexual orientation, gender or disability of the
victim.
The bill was proposed as an amendment to the
Defense Department Authorization bill by Republican Senator Gordon Smith
(OR), who was the keynote speaker at the Log Cabin Republican 2004
National Convention. As Senator Smith so eloquently stated on the floor of
the Senate, "Hate crimes tear at the very fabric of our Nation. They
seek to intimidate entire groups of Americans and as such divide our
Nation. These kinds of crimes do more than harm the victims. They
terrorize our entire society and send a message of hate and intolerance
to millions of Americans."
"Today, thanks to the courageous leadership
of Senator Gordon Smith, the United States Senate has sent a strong
message that gays and lesbians are a valued part of our great country.
They should be free to live their lives without fear of violence,"
said Patrick Guerriero, Executive Director of Log Cabin Republicans.
The vote in the Senate was not close, with 65
voting for the legislation and only 33 voting against it. Eighteen
Republicans joined one independent and 46 Democrats in supporting the hate
crimes legislation.
"We hope that the political courage that
Republican Senators showed today will be a sign to those in the party who
seek to promote a divisive social agenda," said Guerriero.
The Senate has passed hate crimes legislation
before, only to see it stripped out of conference committee negotiations
with the House of Representatives. Log Cabin urges the House, the
Conference Committee, and the President to make sure that this legislation
becomes law.
While Log Cabin Republicans applaud the Senate
for passing hate crimes legislation, we also realize that this is just one
battle in the culture war that the far right has declared on gay and
lesbian families. Log Cabin Republicans urge the Senate to continue
fighting for tolerance and inclusion by rejecting the discriminatory,
anti-family Federal Marriage Amendment.
