Hate Crimes: Unequal Protection under the Law

Senators Kennedy and Leahy have piled on a funding and implementation bill for the Hate Crimes bill (H.R. 1913) that is screaming through Congress. The bill creates extra protection for certain favored classes by declaring certain thoughts to be onerous and illegal. Specifically left out of special protection are classes of people that are currently out of favor with the Left, including pastors, seniors, pregnant women, and veterans.

The bill covers many types of sexual behavior that would now be given special elevated status, including

"pedophiles and other bizarre sexual orientations, as well as drag queens, transgenders, lesbians and gay men [elevated] to the level of protection of that already given to African Americans, Hispanics and other minorities in the law"

, according to Andrea Lafferty, executive director of the Traditional Values Coalition.

It is clear that this is part of the continuing secular devaluation of previously held standards, values and virtues that defined America. The relativist secular/Atheist ethic will not be locked into this, however; should the funds stop flowing from the sexually deviant community, the secular government will turn on them in a flash. In a relativist culture without virtues, loyalty is not a virtue.
