Another extreme opinion by the liberal. Yes, I am sure that the person you are responding to, meant that he did not want ANY LAWS. Geesh, like saying "you must hate conservatives because they don't want to pay for your contraception." Or the teenager that says her mother hates her because she won't let her go a party.

Did he/she say they didn't want ANY LAWS? He/she plainly said that there shouldn't be laws that legislate morality.

In my opinion, laws were meant to protect, not impose or direct a lifestyle. We do need a basic set of laws to protect us from others. Laws regarding a limit on free speech is a bit much.

In my opinion, we do not need any new hate crime laws. And assault is a violent crime and does not need to have the added caveat of the stipulation of bigotry on it. Motive is not necessary if it is obvious that an assault was perpetrated. Murder is murder and adding a bigotry tone to the motive does not make the crime any different. Taking a life is taking a life. If it is done with malice of any sort, it is still murder.

Hate speech is a Constitutional right, even if it is unmannerly. If you are going to impose laws against the use of hate speech upon Muslims, then you had better impose it equally against hate speech upon Christians. Otherwise, you are discriminating.
