[governance] Watch out for that hate speech

[Milton L Mueller]

Interesting to me that the religious right in America is characterizing
criticism of their religion as "hateful" and as "bigotry." It provides
an example of why many free speech advocates oppose so-called hate
speech regulation, as it could easily be invoked to suppress all kinds
of legitimate expression.

 Christian Coalition of America condemns Anti-Christian bigotry on part
of Governor Gregoire

 

Washington D.C. -"There are no gods, no devils, no angels, no heaven or
hell. There is only our natural world. Religion is but myth and
superstition that hardens hearts and enslaves minds."  

 

This is what a poster in the Washington state capitol building says as
it is displayed right next to a Nativity scene depicting the Christmas
story and with a huge bust of George Washington between them.  

 

The President of the Christian Coalition of America, Roberta Combs said:
"Governor Christine Gregoire has carried political correctness to the
extreme by allowing such hateful speech against Christians and
Christianity to be so prominently displayed in the Washington state
capitol building.   Christian Coalition of America urges her to
immediately remove this abominable display."  

 

It seems each Christmas season, atheists attempt to reach new heights in
antagonizing Christians and Jewish people in the case of the Hanukkah
holiday.  The very least that elected officials can do is to ignore
these hateful attempts to mock other people's religions.

Psalm 33:12 "Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord..."
