of it has been relentlessly pushed by ultra-liberal and near radical Senator Edward Kennedy for the past nine years.Apparently enough Americans were up in arms, so to speak, over this vile attempt to ram this contentious bill through congress by hook or by crook. Senator Kennedy tried to attach his political pork to the critical defense spending bill, hoping that the President would be forced to sign it.
However, this tactic did not work. Mathew Staver of the Liberty Council said in an email that “Most pundits expected Kennedy's strategy of attaching the bill to a must-pass defense appropriations bill would succeed. But citizens . . . sent faxes and made phone calls and the message got through!”
Last Thursday the House disagreed with Kennedy’s Senate approved amendment and Friday the Senate decided to remove hate crimes from the defense bill. The conference report will be signed and the bill will be sent to the president for his signature.
In a WorldNetDaily.com article Michael Marcavage, of Repent America, is reported saying that his organization has members who were jailed for proclaiming their Christian beliefs on public streets in Philadelphia, because of state regulations similar to the federal proposal.
"It's extraordinarily important that it (the hate crimes amendment) has been removed from the defense reauthorization bill," he told WND. "But we know that the homosexual lobby is extraordinarily aggressive when it comes to obtaining special protections. That's exactly what this is."
Yes, the homosexual lobby and its lackeys will be back. We must stay ever vigilant . . .
