So Obama and DHS consider Vaticanate Catholics followers of a discredited leadership...apparently ANY Papacy...which follows the Vatican Catechism of The Catholic Church ( http://www.vatican.va/archive/catechism/ccc_toc.htm ) instead of ones approved or funded by local public officials.

Yes, Obama and his DHS appear to have said that citing Knights of Columbus as typical of such Catholics: http://www.cnsnews.com/public/content/article.aspx?RsrcID=47746 .

To assassinate the character of a Pope just because of a position on gays and use of condoms ( you'd think with all the public school pushing of condoms, officials wouldn't mind Papal condom talk, yet even AIDS-activist/condom warning gays band with such pols simply to hate the Pope re gays)...let's throw out all that human dignity, social justice, non-totalism talk in Vatican catechism?

Now, I for one would be happy if some "hate crime" against gays/perceived gays were bluntly prosecuted like any other felonious attack from laws on books...but gays are being used by officials in Federal hate crime proposals, because the US House, and apparently Senate, want to override gays and make it a hate crime for even a gay man or women to get so upset about a "straight" man raping a child in front of them, they shove him off or strike him AT ALL, even in defense of a child as a good citizen (to whom I would give medals and Key to the City).

Yes, that's right...all of us, straight or LBGT, any race, age, religion, blah, will become FELONS against pedophiles and other abusers not tethered to gender identity, if we don't just sit back and take it...having personally inquired into the legislative history of said bill, I will here cite the rendered opinion of RightMarch in support :

But this bill goes MUCH, MUCH FARTHER that simply prosecuting violent crime -- it creates a new "protected class" of people that would now be protected under "hate crimes" definitions. That means that this bill will protect all 547 forms of sexual deviancy or "Paraphilias" listed by the American Psychiatric Association! This would provide a HUGE MASS of "sacred cows" in our society, which includes pedophiles who would be given elevated protection -- giving "the offender" an additional decade behind bars.

And that "offender" could be YOU! If a pedophile tries to molest your daughter, or your nephew, or your granddaughter, or some little boy in the street -- if you step in and beat the pedophile to get him away, YOU could spend ten years in prison for your "offense"!

I am NOT exaggerating this. Rep. Alcee Hastings (D-FL), who supports this horrendous bill, admitted that the bill would protect all 547 forms of sexual deviancy listed by the APA. Here's what Hastings said on the floor of the U.S. House itself:

'This bill addresses our resolve to end violence based on prejudice and to guarantee that all Americans regardless of race, color, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, or disability or all of these "Philias" and fetishes and "isms" that were put forward need not live in fear because of who they are. I urge my colleagues to vote in favor of this rule.'

Apparently, supporters of this bill have no problem with sexual deviants, including pedophiles, getting a higher level of protection against you and me!

Don't think that some people in the House didn't try to stand up against the Thought Police crowd. The House version of the so-called "hate crimes" bill was adopted on a 249-175 vote, but not before several amendments were proposed by Republicans trying to mitigate the impact of the draconian law.

For example, Rep. Steve King (R-IA) offered an amendment that was very simple: "The term sexual orientation as used in this act or any amendments to this act does not include pedophilia."

The majority Democrats refused to accept that amendment -- or any OTHER amendment along the same lines!" [End Of RM Citation]
