Stacy at MediaSoul reports that her car was vandalized not once but twice by a new category of hate crime thug: the hetero-hater! She writes:
A few months back I wrote about how my Marriage equals one man plus one woman bumpersticker was vandalized. In that incident the perp had used a pen to make the figures the same sex.In tonight’s incident, the heterosexual hater had taken off one bumpersticker that said protect marriage, and found my previously vandalized sticker underneath it. So they placed a rainbow sticker over the figures of the man and woman.
And they also took my God Bless America magnet that was on my car and cut through the word God.
Do we need to create new categories of protected classes? If you assault a heterosexual or God-of-the-Bible worshipper because he/she is a heterosexual or God-of-the-Bible worshipper, have you committed a hate crime?
Only in America could someone come up with a concept called “hate crime.” But it’s not just any hate, you see. It’s a certain kind of hate. If you’re black and you kill a white person for whatever reason and call them “cracker” while you’re doing it, in addition to murder you’ve committed a hate crime. Maybe. Whites may or may not be protected under the statutues, but you get the idea. If you kill someone for sleeping with your husband and call her a whore while you’re doing it, you’ve committed murder but no hate crime. As of this writing, “whore” is not a protected class. Sorry.
Now, about that “God” bumper sticker, if you strike out God in “God Bless America” because you hate God or don’t believe in him, who or what are you appealing to for this blessing? (Why not just strike out the whole phrase while you’re at it?) Where is it supposed to come from? The sun, moon and stars? The universe? Trees and rocks? Perhaps man himself?
“Man bless America!” That’s rich. It’s also sexist. How about “Humankind bless America!”
“Humanity bless America!”
“Humans bless yourselves!”
Doesn’t have quite the same ring to it, does it?
Important Note: I do not want this thread to become a discussion on homosexual “marriage.” I will likely delete such comments. You’ve been warned.
