Hate Crime - rubber porky pig is a hate crime?

Don't bother with Pascrell. He's up for election. It is time for us all to exercise democracy and vote Pascrell out as well as every congressman like him who has been voting along with Obama, high taxes, gross spending and socialism.

Vote for Roland Straten for Congress in New Jersey's 8th Congressional District to get rid of Pascrell in the House of Reps.

Pascrell has been a welfare pushing, high taxing, urban destroying Democrat for as long as anyone can remember. He was the mayor of Paterson, NJ. He left it a crime ridden slum and helped keep it that way. He's sucked up to radical Muslims in Paterson who cheered at 9-11.

America is not his primary concern, he's not a Statesman, just a failing Obama follower to the hell of big government trying to rule and ruin us all. A disgrace!

HATE CRIME

Atlas readers know I am fiercely against the idea of "hate crime." All crime is hate and should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

When you start to delineate what's in a person's mind or heart, aka thought crime, who decides? Who decides what's hate and what's not? The government? The Organizaton of the Islamic Conference? CAIR? Are things so bad that a rubber porky pig is a hate crime? Yes. And it will get worse. They create tales out of whole cloth to prosecute the innocent who dare speak out against oppression and subjugation.

But crimes against Jews, Chrsitians, Hindus, Whites, Asians (as in Asian, not the buzzword for Musim) etc ........*yawn.*

The hypocrisy loooms large. Here's a letter I thought I should share with you. I expect the gutless congressman who witnessed his Muslim constituents dancing on 9/11/01 will do nothing but hide beneath his desk. If this continues -- auxiliary law enforcement will be necessary.

The idea that Muslims would torment and harass an elderly, disabled woman because she is a non-Muslim is debased and grotesque. The writer, a PhD, wrote to her Congressman again because of yet another incident of harassment today, one of many she has had to endure as she walks through a majority Muslim neighborhood in Paterson, NJ:

Dear Congressman Pascrell:  

Greetings and best wishes for your, and our, continued success in the upcoming election. 

I know you are busy because of election time, so I will keep this letter brief and to the point. 

I plan to share this letter with Pamela Geller, a prominent American Civil Rights activist, 

so I will repeat information already known to you, Congressman Pascrell, in order to make the 

letter fully comprehensible to Ms. Geller.  I am writing to inform you of the constant harassment,

 even dangerous harassment, I endure as I walk the three miles from my apartment in Artist's Housing, 

a federally funded Artist's Housing project, along Main Street in Paterson, NJ, to Corrado's Market, 

on Main Street. Corrado's is, of course, a legendary local market, unsurpassed for its fresh produce. 

 I walk through a predominantly Muslim neighborhood near the intersection of Main Street and Crooks Ave.

 This area gained international infamy when Paterson Muslims celebrated in the streets on September 11, 2001, 

an event which, according t o internet news reports, you yourself, Congressman Pascrell, witnessed.  

I am moved to write today because a man seated at one of the many sidewalk chairs on Main Street impeded my 

ability to walk down the street, and called out, "Look out! Look out! Here comes Jesus Christ!" as I 

approached on the sidewalk. This man, about sixty, speaking with a heavy Turkish accent, with face stubble, 

began to repeatedly make body motions with his hands across his face and chest in a mockery of the act of a 

Christian blessing oneself. This occurred today, Sunday, October 17, 2010, at approximately four p.m., as I 

walked from my apartment to Corrado's.  

This is a constant occurrence on this Muslim-dominated stretch of road. 

In the past, I have been mocked by other religious names. Once a much younger man, in a group of men speaking

 Arabic, stopped me, and mocked me as "Moses," as his friends surrounded me. On another occasion, witnessed by

 a police officer, a Muslim man hit me with his SUV, knocking me to the ground. The police officer took and 

filed a full report.  

As you know, I am an older woman, and physically handicapped. I need a cane to walk. These Muslim men target 

an older, physically handicapped, isolated American woman for their abuse.  

I live in Paterson, a dangerous city. I commute on foot to work on WPUNJ. I pass housing projects inhabited 

largely by unemployed African Americans. This area is not pleasant, but it has not proven dangerous. 

In my many years of commuting on foot, no African American has menaced me the way the Muslim men on 

Main Street do on a regular basis.  

I am writing to you, Congressman Pascrell, rather than to our mayor, because you have power on the federal level.

 I want to know that you know that this is going on in Paterson and in Ner Jersey. I want you to think about this 

when you consider matters pertaining to immigration, to multiculturalism, and to the repeated refrains that 

Muslims are subject to "hate crimes" in America. Certainly a man stopping me on a sidewalk and mocking 

Christianity is a hate crime. 

Will you, or will any other elected New Jersey official, do anything about it?  

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Some Rino Fools in Congress go along with Pascrells thieving Vat Tax Bill Too!

Peter Suderman | May 4, 2010

The Hill reports bipartisan support for a value-added tax:

The idea of a value-added tax (VAT), attacked by national Republicans ever since it was floated by a White House adviser, has some GOP supporters in Congress.

Five Republican House members are co-sponsors of a bill by Rep. Bill Pascrell (D-N.J.) that would impose a border tax on imports similar to an importing country's VAT if the U.S. government couldn't negotiate a way to cut trade imbalances. In the Senate, George Voinovich (R-Ohio) has suggested that replacing income taxes with a VAT could be one way to streamline the tax code.

"I don't know whether it would [be more efficient] or not," Voinovich told The Hill. "All I'm saying is that we shouldn't just say it's a bad thing."

Voinovich was one of just 13 senators to vote against a "sense of the Senate" resolution offered by Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) in April calling the VAT "a massive tax increase that will cripple families on fixed income and only further push back America’s economic recovery." Every other Republican and most Democrats voted for the non-binding resolution.

Yesterday, The Daily Caller reported that the president's fiscal commission will almost certainly recommend raising taxes:

Leading Democrats on the commission tried during the first week of meetings to finesse their way toward a discussion of what they consider inevitable — by arguing that any tax hikes would be “pro-growth.”

“If we can put forward some practical proposals that control the rate of spending in the future and that raise revenues in a pro-growth way, I think we’ll get a hearing in the Congress,” said Alice Rivlin, a former White House budget director for President Jimmy Carter, who is one of 18 commission members.

If you didn’t read the word “tax” in the previous sentence, that’s because most who favor raising taxes don’t like to use the word. Instead they use “revenue,” as in the money that comes to the government from taxpayers.

Commission co-chair Erskine Bowles made clear last week that any recommendations he puts forth or supports by the Dec. 1 due date will include higher taxes. The three working groups that he set up to meet weekly over the next several months are focused on mandatory spending, discretionary spending and revenue reform.

Any solution is “going to involve revenue, and we have to face up to that,” he said. Bowles, a former White House chief of staff to President Clinton, also followed Rivlin’s tack, arguing that any tax increase would have to be good for the economy, business, job creation, etc.

Elsewhere in Reason, Veronique de Rugy called the VAT "the wrong policy at the wrong time."
