I'm a republican, but I still try to take an objective stance most of the time. However, Bush hate just pisses me off now. Its really old.
I agree with most everything being said. Hate crimes are so easily manipulatable and anything can be a hate crime depending on how it is spun. Now, of course, some of the time it is a hate crime that occurs, but often it is simply people (namely liberals) yelling "HATE CRIME!" at anything involving anybody.
Very stupid if you ask me.
It is foolish to think that laws are the solution because you cannot put laws down on something that is open to interpretation and not clearly defined or else it will break down.
But yes, politics, shmolitics.....
