    "right to liberty and the pursuit of happiness"

    That's not US law, it's nothing but vague statements.

    The only rights in existence anywhere depend society enforcing/protecting them. God isn't in the picture.

    I love the preamble to the Declaration of Independence too, but what's the cons utional standing of that? Seriously?

    I thought being a hateful bas was protected speech. I guess we'll see. Apparently it's all up for grabs now.

    Well is it, BaselineBum? Is it a crime to hate, all by itself?

    Oh wow, you were serious? I thought you were just trolling. I'm not sure where you get the idea I would want Christian hate speech legally silenced.

    You personally, I don't think so. But there is such a thing as a hate crime.

    What's the point of designating hate groups?

    Is it just rhetorical, or does the law swing a sword behind it?

    Agreed, I've always thought "hate crime" was silly concept. and it's always fun to negate a phrase or concept. what's a "love crime" (rape?)

    violence against somebody just because they are not male (wife/girlfriend beating is acceptable to 15% of Americans), not your ethnic group, not your race, not your nationality doesn't need the adjective "hate". It's just a crime (well, not for everybody).

    Is marriage a basic human right? Serious question.
    Do you mean government recognition of marriage, or just the ability to choose who we want to spend the rest of our lives with in a formal ceremony?

    Don't marriage vows pledge fidelity to your spouse?
