IVA ACTION ALERT: CALL SEN. CRAPO, RISCH, URGE “NO” VOTE ON “HATE CRIMES” BILL

The U.S. Senate may vote as soon as tomorrow on the “Hate Crimes Prevention” bill, which has become widely known as “The Pedophile Protection Act.” The bill has already passed the House.

It earned this sobriquet when Democrats voted down a proposed amendment that would exclude pedophilia from the list of “sexual orientations” which get special protections in this bill.

Not only are pedophiles tacitly given preferential treatment under this law, a proposed amendment to include veterans under its provisions was voted down. So Democrats quite pointedly voted to give more legal protection to pedophiles than to soldiers engaged in the defense of our freedoms.

Bizarrely and grotesquely, this bill gives less legal protection to sexually normal folks than to those who engage in various forms of aberrant sexual behavior.

“Hate crimes” laws are bad public policy simply because, by giving more legal protections to some victims than others, it violates the fundamental principle of American justice that we all are equal before the law. There should be no place for a caste system in America’s judicial structure.

Worse, “hate crimes” laws penalize thought, not behavior. It punishes an individual not for what he did but for what he was thinking when he did it. It’s one short step from there to the re-education camps for which Vietnam became famous.

Please call the offices of Sen. Mike Crapo and Sen. Jim Risch and urge them to vote “NO” on the “hate crimes” bill. You may reach them at 202-224-3121. Thank you!

GAY JOURNALIST ADMITS THE FASCIST TENDENCIES OF HOMOSEXUAL ACTIVISTS

Members of the pro-family community have observed for years that there is strain of fascism in the homosexual movement. This expression of the movement is not content with mere tolerance. Its aim is the elimination and destruction of those who argue for sexual normalcy in life and public policy.

It turns out that a leading homosexual journalist agrees.

Johann Hari, a self-described “gay left-wing” journalist in Britain, writing in the Huffington Post, admits that the leadership of European fascist movements is dominated by homosexuals.

With surprising honesty, he says, “The twisted truth is that gay men have been at the heart of every major fascist movement that ever was – including the gay-gassing, homo-cidal Third Reich ... (with one exception) all the most high-profile fascists in Europe in the past thirty years have been gay.”

Ernst Rohm, for instance, the founding father of Nazism and Hitler’s mentor, talked openly about his fondness for gay bars and Turkish baths, and believed that gays were superior to straights. For him, homosexuality was a key principle of what Hari calls “his proposed Brave New Fascist Order.”

Rohm, according to another historian, “believed straight people weren’t as adept at bullying and aggression as homosexuals, so homosexuality was given a high premium in the SA.” (Note: the SA were Hitler’s Brownshirts, his Storm Troopers.)

Hitler eventually had Rohm killed, and many historians suspect it was to prevent Rohm from leaking information about Hitler’s own sexual proclivities.

“[T]here has always been,” Hari says, “a weird, disproportionate overlap between homosexuality and fascism.”

Historian William Shirer wrote that only about 10% of Hitler’s inner circle was sexually normal. He recruited homosexuals as his enforcers, largely because he couldn’t find a sufficient number of heterosexual men who were savage enough to suit his tastes.

The Nazis were hard on effeminate gays, it is true, but only because they exalted the muscular, hypermasculine forms of homosexual expression. Many of the Nazi prison camps were run by homosexuals, who treated male populations as their own private harems. The deaths of many homosexuals in the prison camps were, according to researcher Scott Lively, a result of “gay on gay violence.”

Germany’s leading neo-Nazi in the 80’s, Michael Kuhnen, who died of AIDS in 1991, once told a West German journalist that homosexuals were “especially well-suited for our task, because they do not want ties to wife, children and family.”

Fascism, Hari goes on to say, “is – in part, at least – a gay thing, and it’s time for non-fascist gay people to wake up and face the marching music.”

Homosexual pornographic film-maker Bruce LaBruce openly says that, “Fascism is in our bones, because it’s all about glorifying white male supremacy and fetishizing domination, cruelty, power and monstrous authority figures.”

Hari says that on “Homo-Nazi” Web sites today, the message is clear: white men are superior to other races, and gay men are “the masters of the Master Race.” They alone have the “superior intellect” necessary for a “fascist revolution.”

One gay fascist Hari interviewed said, “I always knew in my heart racist and gay were both morally right. I don’t see any conflict between them.”

Hari, certainly no fascist himself, concludes, “If Bruce LaBruce is right, many of the mainstream elements of gay culture – body worship, the lauding of the strong, a fetish for authority figures and cruelty – provide a swamp in which the fascist virus can thrive.”

CHRIS PENTICO TO BE SENTENCED TODAY FOR MAKING ELECTED OFFICIALS “UNCOMFORTABLE”

My friend Chris Pentico will be sentenced this morning after being found guilty last month by Judge Kevin Swain on trespassing charges. Pentico was slapped in cuffs by police after calmly and quietly delivering a

letter to Governor Otter’s office.

He has never been accused of making any kind of threats or of acting in any kind of threatening manner. Pentico to this day does not know who his accuser is. But his persistence in exercising his constitutional right to “petition the government for the redress of grievances” evidently ticked off enough folks that they sicced the State Police on him.

When Clete Edmundsen of the governor’s staff was asked why Pentico was arrested, the best he could do was to say that Pentico was “obstinate.” In what parallel universe is being “obstinate” a criminal offense?

Swain’s guilty verdict – after a trial in which he rejected Pentico’s effort to raise significant First Amendment issues – means that Pentico could be sent to jail for six months and fined $1,000 to boot.

Judge Swain will stand for a retention vote at some point, and he must receive at least 50% of votes cast to stay in office. His might be a name to remember for voters who believe in liberty and are concerned about the damage being done by judicial overreach.
