IV. The Senate has, indeed, attached the Death Penalty to the 'Hate Crimes Bill'!
Christian preachers and teachers can start going to the gallows simply for holding up the Biblical standard on homosexuality.
NEWS BRIEF: "A deadly amendment to the hate-crimes bill", Los Angeles Times, August 7, 2009
"The Senate has joined the House in expanding the definition of 'hate crimes' to include attacks on gays and lesbians. In doing so, however, it attached an amendment that would make some hate crimes punishable by death ... Also known as the Matthew Shepard Act, the legislation empowers the Justice Department to assist states and localities with the investigation and prosecution of crimes motivated by the victim's sexual orientation or gender identity, just as it currently does with crimes motivated by racial bias. In April, the House approved the bill as a stand-alone measure. The Senate version is part of a defense authorization bill."
"The bill also establishes federal penalties for some hate crimes, which provided an opening for an amendment by Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) to allow death sentences for certain hate crimes that end in the death of the victim, whether the death is intentional or not. "
Now, why would a Republican senator add a death penalty clause to this heinous Hate Crimes bill? You might expect something like this from a Liberal Democrat like Ted Kennedy of Massachusetts, but not from a Republican from a Conservative state like Alabama. This next segment tells us the reason, and it makes no common sense whatsoever!
"Republican strategists apparently see this as a kind of poison pill -- they're hoping that when a conference committee meets to reconcile the House and Senate defense bills, it will discard the Shepard Act rather than be sidetracked by a debate over capital punishment; if that happened, the measure would have to be approved all over again by the Senate as a separate bill."
The worst case scenario would be for the Democrats to simply use their significant vote advantages in both houses of Congress to pass the bill with the Death Penalty attached. Since the Hate Crimes legislation is very wide and nebulous, it is extremely dangerous to attach the Death Penalty. Even if the Death Penalty provision does not originally include pastors and teachers who would be charged for simply upholding the Biblical standard against homosexuality, once the Death Penalty is passed under any circumstances, the principles of the Six Step Attitudinal Change Plan tell us that it would be relatively easy to expand the offenses under which the Death Penalty would apply.
America is becoming the next Sodom, so we should not be surprised to see the real hate coming from the gay/lesbian agenda toward Christians who simply hold up God's eternal standard. Soon, pastors and teachers will be arrested and even put to death. Welcome to the New World Order.!
