Urgent Action Needed

According to an email I received from traditionalvalues.org:

Under the cover of fighting so-called ‘hate crimes,’ H.R. 1592 will be used to fund anti-Christian, pro-homosexual/drag queen materials for children – and divert scarce federal resources away from fighting Islamic terrorism.

...
H.R. 1592 is based upon a false premise: That there’s an epidemic of so-called “hate crimes” against homosexuals and drag queens that needs federal involvement for local law enforcement officials!

...
There is no epidemic of hate directed against homosexuals or drag queens! FBI statistics from 2005 show that there were only 1,171 cases of sexual orientation bias crimes that year. Of those, 301 are listed as intimidation – which is name-calling; 333 are listed as simple assault (pushing or shoving) and 177 were listed as aggravated assault (where bodily injury occurs).

...
This so-called “hate crimes” bill will make homosexuality and cross-dressing into federally-protected minority groups! These sexual behaviors will be considered equal to race under federal laws! Once this happens, these behaviors will be protected by civil rights laws, too.

H.R. 1592 will, under the guise of hate crime prevention:

• interfere with local law enforcement by requiring the Justice Department to monitor how state and local agencies deal with alleged “hate crimes.”

• divert scarce FBI personnel and resources away from fighting international terrorism into investigating name-calling, pushing and shoving and a tiny number of actual cases of violence against homosexuals and drag queens.

• provide millions of dollars to fund “anti-hate” educational materials that will be used to promote the homosexual agenda and denigrate Christians as intolerant. (Under the Janet Reno Justice Department, a “Healing the Hate” curriculum was developed that attacked Christians as bigots, comparing them to the KKK and Skinheads!)

I almost feel like no comment is needed. Ignorance shines.
