This is a test
restrict
the prophetic voice of are clergy you know
the phrase as i'm tired of hearing that question
because it comes from people who are
opposed to hate crime legislation before allot of reasons
and they are hiding behind religion
as aghast that maybe justifies
their opposition to a good piece of legislation
noel hate crimes legislation does not in page on free speech and it doesn't violate religious
liberty
and a call just not long ago from a guy opposed to hate crimes legislation *** and it's going
to the senate right now in our united states congress
and i assured helmet it does not take away his right as a pastor
to address any subject he wants to address from this pulpit yes it does prohibit
the inciting
of violent behavior
i don't think that's against the prophetic tradition of any religion however
as a matter of fact
i would challenge you to look at the prophetic tradition of any religion and the scriptures
that informit
and find how hate can be justified anyway
we need hate crimes legislation find falling we may get it this administration
and i hope that people who are concerned about free speech
will voiced their concern and then turned that into advocacy for passing hate crimes
hate my friends
is neither a religious nor a democratic values
we have gone through law
allowing violence to spring up
in response to prejudice feelings
against individuals who were different
it's got to stop
and we will be most true
to the prophetic traditions of our religions and
to the basic press walls of the constitution of the united states
if we vote
four and insist on that the enforcement of
meaningful hate crimes legislation
