RSSFree Speech, R.I.P.
Gene Lalor | March 12, 2010
There have always been accepted limitations on the First Amendment guaranty of freedom of speech.
Americans are reasonably restricted from blaring, “Fire!” in any crowded building when there is no fire. We are understandably refused permission to exercise free speech when that speech is designed to incite insurrection and sedition, although various courts have unfortunately loosened that prohibition.
The right to free speech and the untrammeled exercise thereof are the cornerstones of our Republic, cornerstones we ignore at great peril to the Constitution and to what we are as Americans.
However, we’re now witnessing not a whittling away of that most fundamental right but a wholesale dismantling being conducted in the interests not of society as a whole but at the insistence of what has become an extremely powerful, minority interest group: the homosexual lobby.
Nowhere is the power of that group more evident than in the state with one of the richest heritages of patriotism which has become a cesspool of liberalism and, now, denial of First Amendment privileges, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. 
The former land of Patrick Henry, John Hancock, the Boston Tea Party, and “the shot heard ’round the world” has deteriorated into the current land of the late Ted Kennedy, Barney Frank, the Boston Gay Pride Parade, and a crushing attack on Christian values.
MassResistance.com has long been in the forefront of resistance to the goals of the homosexual lobby in the Bay State and it, among other Christian and secular opponents to gay aims, have been targeted for fines and imprisonment should they continue their campaign to save Massachusetts, to save America, from the onslaught of rampant homosexuality.
The goals, aims, the onslaught, have been detailed at great length on this website and I would refer the curious and the doubters to conduct a site search for details.
Suffice to say, gays no longer are content with demanding acceptance and parity with the heterosexual nation in which we live.
Encouraged by their legislative and judicial victories over the last three decades, they now are intent on spreading their vile lifestyle, particularly through our school systems, and dominating any debate by squelching all dissent.
By deviously inserting language into an unrelated anti-bullying bill in the Massachusetts’ Senate bill S2283, the Senate added “draconian language that would criminalize criticism of homosexuality published on Web sites and other media with fines of up to a thousand dollars and imprisonment.”
No other group is singled out except those which engage in defense of tradition, of families, of Christian tenets and criticism of homosexual abnegation of those tenets.
The burden of proof would be the accuseds’ burden of trying to prove the negative that their comments were NOT inspired by some undefined “hatred.”
Tantamount to “criminalizing Christianity,” S2283 has precedent in Canada which is rarely ahead of the curve on much: “There have already been instances in Canada where even posting passages from the Bible has been considered ‘inciting hatred’ and brought trials and punishment on people of faith:” http://bit.ly/aXloNT
It all sounds suspiciously like selective prosecution and persecution of Christians–if they disagree with homosexuals.
As Massachusetts and Canada go, so goes the nation? Only time will tell but based on recent precedent, it’s a good bet.
