Alcee Hastings: Blind to the Ultimate Logic of His Own Policies
-By Warner Todd Huston
Alcee Hastings is a congressman from Florida. He was also once a federal judge that was impeached for corruption. It’s an indictment of America that a criminal such as he can become a prominent national politician after being convicted of crimes and thrown off the bench.
Be that as it may, for all his crimes Hastings is also a bit of a showman… as such ner-do-wells usually are. Last Thursday on the floor of the House of Representatives the nation got a slice of that showmanship when Hastings took center stage to decry some “spurious” language hidden by another representative in the so-called hate crimes legislation then up for debate.
Hastings felt that the hate crimes legislation was “serious business” but the addition of some outrageous sexual practices in the bill made a mockery of it all. So, Rep. Hastings decided to read aloud some of this crazy terminology in order to show one and all how someone was “trivializing” what he considers important legislation.
The amendment made in the rules committee that came under Hastings’ disdain was meant to clear up what the hate crimes bill does not include under the rubric of “sexual orientation.” Hastings heatedly read some of these off-the-wall sexual practices, including: asphyxiphilia, apotomnophilia and autogynophilia, corophilia, exhibitionism, fetishism and toucherism. There were more, but you get the idea.
Hastings wrapped up his dramatic reading with a scolding for the unidentified amendment’s author as well as a slap on the wrist for anyone that didn’t take this hate crimes bill seriously.
“Mr. Speaker, we can’t legislate law, but we can legislate against hate.” Hastings said on the House floor. “This legislation may not rid us of the intolerance and prejudices that continue to taint our society but it will provide an added deterrent to those in who these feelings manifest themselves into acts of violence.”
But he went on to say, “…this legislation addresses our resolve to end violence based on prejudice and to guarantee that all Americans regardless of race, color, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, or disability or all of these philias, and fetishes, and isms that were put forward need not live in fear because of who they are.”
It all sounds so nice, doesn’t it? But here is where Hastings obviously doesn’t understand the logical conclusions to his own high flung rhetoric. For if we are to include the amorphous concepts of “sexual orientation” and “gender identity” in legislation, these terms must be defined. Law cannot be made on generalities, after all. Generalities breed lawsuits and conflict, not a settling of dispute.
So, when you get right down to it, the very crazy terms that Hastings so resolutely railed against will have to be included in some way — whether to be said they aren’t covered or that they are — in the legislation. If they are not, then aren’t we purposefully creating a bill that will exclude and therefore sanctify “hate” against those proclivities not named? And if we are to include “these philias, and fetishes, and isms” then aren’t we essentially legalizing mental disorders and making them untouchable and essentially unable to be treated by medicine?
The salient question here is if pedophile is next to be sanctioned as a protected sex act? Don’t we want to end “hate” against people that claim any particular self-identified “sexual orientation” or “gender identity,” Mr. Hastings? If not don’t we risk engaging in “hate” against child molesters, Mr. Hastings? After all, a logical outcome of your legislation would tend to end up there, wouldn’t it?
So are you pro-child molesting, Representative Hastings?
I yield the floor to you, sir, and await your answer.

You have to admire this democrat spunk.
But can we bring back dunking these legislative witches and wizards from Florida?
The next time some child is missing and found dead and sexually molested in Florida; I will turn off the TV.
Been studying up on government-CIA-FBI-Other agencies’ use of hypnotic programming for nefarious military and political warmongering purposes – This idiot zombie from Florida sure does fit the perfect description of a half-programmed victim of that type of malicious intent by those willing to murder their own children to achieve legalized violence as a way of existing until they are themselves a final target of others’ hatred for them!
The Anti-hate Bill in Congress is, in its most basic terms, the epitome of Hatred, as it targets those with just reasons for open dissension against criminal, immoral activists with criminal conduct, essentially reversing, and negating the entire Constitution, which protects all against the few who would rule over the majority, exactly what this insidious attempt to pervert Justice is all about.
Let those who sponsored this bill in even the least way go unpunished, and the nation it is imposed upon, or even if they simply remain without its approval, will go down in quick, inglorious destruction from within and from without.
We the People who value our freedom dare not just watch. Either we physically remove these tyrants, and those who programmed them to behave this way, or we wait for our certain slaughter, just as the Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto waited in vain for their deliverance.
Folks, these Hitler worshippers just are not going to rest until YOU are DEAD. Period. They are exactly as the records of Hebrew Scripture tells us they are, deadly enemies of anything, and everything that they, homosexuals, can’t sexually molest, and murder, at will. Either be destroyed by them, or destroy them, just Creator will surely destroy all who allow them to operate as we see in our congress zoo show today, and them, else, the entire creation of Mankind would perish at their hand.
That’s Creator’s law, not Man’s. Cross Him, and Death is sure, more assured than the next breath of life.
