Well, the Brits HAVE to be decent, don't they?

"British citizens will be extradited for what critics have called a "thought crime" under a new European arrest warrant, the Government has conceded...."

Extradition for thoughts

Here are LOTS of links to similar stories about 'hate speech':

Hate Speech

Europe doesn't have the First Amendment.

For those of you not familiar with our American 'Amendments', ten of them were added to the U.S. Constitution to create our 'Bill of Rights'. Like math, one follows another, and one cannot be removed without negating the whole. The Bill of Rights is perfect. The first amendment reads:

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances."

Look at some of the links at the URL above. Such actions are not legal in America. So a governmental assault on the Bill of Rights is taking place right now...abuses and legal test cases here and there...to destroy the Amendments one by one. Eventually one will collapse, and the the whole structure will fall. That's the plan, at least.

One ploy the tyrannists in this country use to attack the First Amendment is 'hate speech'. We have the right to say anything we want, but now some people believe they have the right to tell others what is 'hateful' and what isn't. It's all highly illegal, as you can see from the First Amendment, but it is so far the biggest crack in the assault against the First Amendment.

Unfortunately, liberals have been backed into a corner on this issue...they have to 'respect' the rights of others (as we all do, according to the Bill of Rights), but now the liberals are being told that freedom of speech can be abridged with laws against 'hateful' intent in speech. Bunch of crap. Liberals have been duped on this issue, as 'conservatives' have been duped on other issues, and gradually our rights are being chipped away. Time will tell if we end up like the silenced Brits.
