Republican House Tacks Hate Crimes Amendment
to Children's Safety Act
Commentary by Jim Day
|
In
what can only be characterized as an outrageous move that strikes
at the heart of free speech and thought in America, the U.S. House
of Representatives on September 14, 2005 approved HR 2662 (The
Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes
Prevention Act of 2005) adding it as an amendment to the Children’s
Safety Act, (HR 3132) by a margin of 223-199. The amendment
added three new group classifications of people to existing Federal
hate crimes statutes for crimes “motivated by prejudice based
on actual or perceived sexual
orientation, gender
identity, or disability of the victim.” Current hate crimes law only includes stiffer penalties
for Federal offenses when the attacker is motivated by the actual
or perceived race, religion or ethnic background of the victim.
The amendment to
the Children’s Safety Act
(HR 3132 – which, among other things, creates a national website
for child sex offenders and stipulates that sex felons face up
to 20 years in prison for failing to comply with registration
requirements) was offered by Congressman John Conyers, (D) MI.
Thirty Republicans, 192 Democrats and one Independent voted to
add the amendment, while 194 Republicans and five Democrats voted
against it. (The official recorded vote – Vote
469 – which shows how Missouri and Illinois Congressmen voted
on this amendment is listed later in this commentary.)

Edgemont to Host Seminars No One Should
Miss
By Jim Day

Our
culture has been undergoing drastic changes over the last
several decades and, from a Christian perspective, they
have been mostly for the
worse. Abortion, homosexuality, pornography, promiscuity,
illegal drug use, loss of individual freedoms and rights,
and the centralization/expansion of government power have
all been corrupting our Republic. The Church has been largely
impotent in the face of these developments. Now change
agents are gaining power in many churches, transforming
them to their vision of what they think the Church should
be instead of what God intended it to be, thus making the
Church even more irrelevant in our culture than it now is.
These changes are all necessary to effect the transformation
of our culture from one based upon a Christian biblical
foundation (a Christian Worldview) to one based upon atheistic,
humanistic principles (a Secular, Humanist, Marxist Worldview).
Several ministries and individuals
teach about the conflicting worldviews battling for dominance
in our nation. These ministries provide a great service
teaching the what and in many cases the who regarding these worldviews. But they
don’t explain precisely how
and why the Christian Worldview is being eroded
and transformed into a Secular, Humanist, Marxist Worldview.
It is absolutely vital for Christians to understand that
there is a common process and philosophy behind these changes.
