Obama and Hate Crime Legislation, II.

Obama has weighed in on hate crime legislation, positive rights, and a non-constitutional supreme court. These, along with open, free abortion and redistributive economic policies will the first to be enacted and enforced. For a look at the future under Obama one need look no farther than to Canada, where hate crime enforcement is already in place.

Under the title of "Canadian Human Rights Commission" (CHRC), a non-judicial panel administers hate crime punishment. So far, all hate crimes are attributed to the conservatives or religious who are punished for speech crimes. There is no appeal for the judgements of this commission, which is not part of the judiciary. Punishment can be severe for crimes that are potential, not even actual, and are crimes of perceived indignation.

The most recent attack by the commission is against a Member of Parliament, M.P. Pankiw, for political speech concerning aboriginal crime, and his intent to resolve it.

According to Statistics Canada, aboriginals make up only 9% of Saskatchewan’s population, but they are 52% of the province’s criminally accused.

Part of the charge stems from protected colors: the offence was committed by the use of red and black ink on white paper. These are,

"colours very much associated with aboriginal people, for whom four colours have come to be associate with the four cardinal directions and have great spiritual significance,” wrote Smith [one of the “experts” relied upon by the CHRC, Derek Smith of Carleton University] “One can hardly claim that the symbolism in this pamphlet is not inflammatory".

The blogger reporting this is also under investigation by the hate crime commission. He has not relented in exercising what might just be temporary free speech. He concludes,

Whether or not Pankiw “wins” his trial is irrelevant. He’s already lost, and so have we. The message is loud and clear: The CHRC has ended parliamentary immunity. The fact that it’s a right-wing MP first in the dock is no surprise — the CHRC is led by Jennifer Lynch, a radical feminist who was Joe Clark’s chief of staff. It’s unlikely that a left-wing MP would ever be punished this way — 100% of the CHRC’s “hate” targets to date have been conservative, white or Christian. [emph added].

Separation of groups of people into "protected" and "offensive" is one of the first tactics of fascist takeover. Oppression of the "offensive" group comes next.

Obama knows who belongs in which group. He will see to it that we get categorized per his priorities.

UPDATE:
How could I forget Obama's new National Civilian Police Force, "just as big, just as powerful, just as strong" as the U.S. military.
