Senator Johnson Invokes the Thought Police

Today the U.S. Senate voted to approve hate crime legislation to provide special rights to homosexuals.

Senator John Thune voted against the measure and Senator Tim Johnson, who says he will be running for re-election next year, voted for the hate crimes law. This bill was an amendment to a defense spending bill.

You can watch a video of what “hate crime” legislation has wrought in Europe, or read more information about hate crimes here.

By the way, can anybody point me to a love crime (and I’m not talking “crimes of passion,” wiseguys)?
