N.C. Rep. Foxx called out for criticism of anti-hate crime bill

Gay rights groups pounced on U.S. Rep. Virginia Foxx of North Carolina Wednesday after she called the case behind a hate crimes bill "a hoax." Foxx's comments came on the House floor during debate over the so-called Matthew Shepard bill, named for a 21-year-old gay man brutally murdered in Wyoming in 1998.

Way to go Ginger. The aggravated honesty that you are committing is not a crime. But please stop backtracking. It IS a hoax. Please stop calling it a poor choice of words for political damage control. It's time for people of character to take an uncompromising stand. If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything. Look at the double-minded homo who lets someone else do their thinking for them. They fall for anything that'll destroy them and they have even defended it. They want straight people to be tolerant of them. But at the same time, they have zero tolerance toward us.

Someone may well have said this already, I don't have the time to read 700+ comments.

Leave aside the economic problems caused by this for a moment, hard as that is, and ask yourself why they would do this?
It's simple. Because they want to become the power here. They want to be the majority, and they're making a good run of it. Look at how California has changed in 20 years? Now, it seems to me that a majority of elected officials there are "Mexican-Americans" Although they seem to ignore the american part. They push the mexican agenda, expand programs for mexican immigrants, and do as much as possible to make it even easier for more to come, expanding their reach even further. If you call attention to it in any way, or question their motives, that makes you a racist. Why is it allowed? We have fallen so deeply into the trap of political correctness that many people can't see past their own front doors... and those that do are too frightened to say anything about it. Liberal democrats want to expand their voter base, and so pander to them. Everyone else it would seem is simply too intimidated to do anything about it. To me, this is a shame. When did we become so timid in defending our own country? When did we become such a nation of frightened children?

Our only hope is to speak up. Please do so.

Read the actual story of what happened, and why it happened to Matthew. Then come back an explain logically why you believe that this was a simple robbery, and no "message" to gay folks was intended.

Was this the original version or the re-adapted version?
The first version I read said that him being gay was the primary reason they targeted him. One of the guys was reported at that time to be all about getting rid of gay folks.
Robbery was the second thing on their mind as he might have some money.
Of course their stories changed so much over the trial time and after that who knows what the real truth is.

We hav tolerence towards heterosexuals. We dont have tolerence for homophobes. Maybe you shouldnt be so threatened by something that doesnt affect you.

So what we're supposed to do is "tolerate" degenerate disorderly conduct. Frankly I think that what you do in your own bedroom is none of anyone elses business. You don't need to go advertising your sexuality publicly. That goes to gay and straight people. And what is this big hallabeleau about marriage? Don't get married. Straight or gay, marriage is the number one cause of divorce, without exception. You can't get divorced without first getting married. Marriage is a legal contract that can only be used against you in court later. Think it through.

Its also the only contract that can fully protect my partner and I, as well as give her the benefits she deserves if I pass away before she does.

Yes, it can assuming the will goes uncontested and a court approves.

That's assuming alot.
And she would NOT get MY Social Security. She is due that as a house wife.
No, she is not physically able to work, nor is she disabled enough to get assistance.
So we don't have the same rights as a straight person does. Where is that fair and equal treatment under the law?

The Law does not recognize perverted behaviour as legitimate.

Willfully ignorant aren't you. Being homosexual is more then just about sex, just as being heterosexual is more then just sex.

Maybe if you would quit looking at the world from your belly button, you'd see there is more out there.

It's still perverted behaviour.
