"The ATF said Friday that the investigation has not indicated that the arson was a hate crime." Maybe because the perp turns out to have been black.

Anonymous said...: To me, all crime is a hate crime. I've never seen anyone break someone's nose or burn their house down because they loved them (except when used as a poor excuse in a domestic violence case). When I love someone, punching them in the face never seems to enter my mind. Only in "Opposite Day" Amerika do special circumstances warrant the Hate Crime label...So if I get caught beating the piss out of Mark Potock, it will be because I was deeply in love with him. That will be my story; and I'm stickin' with it...; October 31, 2015 at 5:24 AM

There's no such thing as a hate crime b/c if their is, then the victim's lives are not equal in value in the eyes of the law.

The penalty for the murder of the "hate" crime victim is a stiffer sentence....whereas the victim of a "regular" murder carries a lighter penalty.

So, a person targeted for their race is somehow more important and of more assigned legal "value" than a child murdered by a pedophile.

If we're really seeking equality under the law and blind justice (which we obviously are not and merely give lip service to such concepts), then ALL human lives matter equally.; October 31, 2015 at 9:14 AM
Chiu ChunLing said...: That really is the crux of the difficulty with contemporary morality. We've gotten so used to calling some actions "love" and others "hate" that most people never examine them in terms of the known practical effects. This is the heart of the confusion over "same-sex marriage" being normalized, because sex is "an act of love" and "people who love each other" should be allowed to get married.

But the entire reason that sex is an act of love (when it is) is because it communicates that you want there to be more people like your partner in the world, and they feel the same about you, and you both feel like you want to cooperate to make that happen. By having and raising children together. Marriage is nothing more or less than a commitment to do that, or at least try to the best of your ability. But when you're having sex with someone with whom you cannot possibly procreate naturally, you're not implying you like the idea of a world with more of their descendants in it. You're implying that they are most useful as a (rather filthy) sex toy.

That's not love. It is at best objectification and degradation.

Of course, "same-sex marriage" isn't the only example of this kind of moral confusion of not looking at the actual consequences of an action. It's just one of many which currently are in the public consciousness without rational thought.; October 31, 2015 at 12:24 PM
Nemesis said...: Hate can only ever be a motivator in any crime. Hate in and of itself is not a criminal thought because hate is just another, albeit, powerful human emotion. The proof of any criminal offence or act, is not the motivators such as hate, but the action of the criminal in committing the actual crime. Without the proofs of the offence or act of criminality, there can be no conviction for the crime in any court of law regardless how much the political elite and their lackeys would wish it so.; October 31, 2015 at 4:47 PM

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
