Default The new hate crime.

Gays vowing to destroy and burn to the ground, Christian churches. Perfect. Let them try and then send them to federal prison for a hate crime. I can imagine how gays are treated in prison.

They better think twice or thrice.

I really should have you on ignore, but if you're going to defend the Church's right to encourage its members to exercise their First Amendment rights, then you should be prepared to explain why you don't defend the protestors today in exercising their 1A rights as well.

Or an even better comparison: Do you think people should be allowed to protest outside abortion clinics? If you've seen Juno, I think you would. Same thing here . . . For those who supported Prop 8, and whose lives it intimately affected, the LDS Temple is the closest thing they have to an abortion clinic.

Show me where I said they couldn't protest? Of course they can protest as long as they don't enter on private property or impede me from entering the temple grounds. Isn't there a buffer at abortion clinics? The same should hold true for these zealots.

I was referring to some in the gay community who have called on their people to burn down churches. You find with that........are you still in high school?
