Hate "Hate Crimes" Legislation

Americans have observed with horror how hate crimes legislation overseas has been used as a license to persecute Christians. Here at home, the U.S. House is poised to make those fears a reality by expanding the current "hate crimes" law. This--more than any other issue--could destroy the freedom of speech as we know it. Hate crime laws trample free speech, lead to baseless arrests, and censor speech. More and more, liberals are trying to make it so that Christians have a harder time impacting America. When it all comes down to where the "rubber meats the road", "We ought to obey God rather than men." (Acts 5:29b)
