The Anti-Cristian Leftist Utopians? Not likely. They’re too busy shutting down manger scenes, christmas carols, trees etc at this time of year to bother with something like free speech.

yeah, it was on Dom last night.

I don’t get why anyone was arrested – I can’t understand how *any* speech can be illegal, unless it’s like yelling FIRE in a crowded theater.

And I really, really hope that the ACLU gets all over this (*cough* *snicker*)

Birdwoman,
Was that on Dom-G last night?
Missed that.
I’ve heard about the incident as well. The christians in question were being less provacative than the Pink Angels, who were trying to prevent the group from getting near the outfest, or from being seen.
This group (the Christians) have a history, however, but I don’t think that excuses the Pink Angels behaivor, or the fact that only the Christian group was arrested and charged.
But being gay in Philly puts you in a protected class, since the DA ignores gay on gay crime and gay on straight crime as a general rule. I still don’t know what hold the LGBT community here has on her and her office…

Dude, I had a shouting match with my radio last night. Apparently, some Christians were arrested in Philadelphia recently for proclaiming at an organized “out-fest”. They got tagged with hate speech and other stuff.

The radio commentator said they were being provocative, but this shouldn’t be a problem.

Some guy called in and said, as a Christian, he knew Jesus’s message and that Jesus wasn’t provocative.

I yelled at him (wonder if he heard?) if he wasn’t provocative, why the heck did they crucify him?

Sheesh.

Anyway, Merry Christmas to you and all your happy (and unhappy) readers!

Merry Christmas to all. Let’s remember it’s not about the presents, its about the Birth of our Savior.

Happy Birthday to you dear Lord!

Merry Christmas La Shawn,

I would like to thank you for this blog. One of the small joys of my daily routine is to stop in at “La Shawn Barber’s Corner” for a dose of common sense and true spirituality in a world so lacking in both.
