AFA exposed: Anti-Families Of America

The-G-Blog is growing every day. I’ve invited most of you here, and I appreciate those of you that have stayed.

I've spent a lot of time blogging, and researching, and updating my site, so I don’t get to spend as much time exploring my friends blogs as I’d like. Maybe I should slow down some. I love all of your perspectives on my blog, and I’ve found that I always learn every time I post. Many of you have made me rethink my positions. Isn’t that what America is all about.

I took the time to read a little more from one of my newer friends. It appears that she is somehow involved in the publishing of a website for the American Family Association!

I thought this was interesting, so I visited the site. There’s an add for a Christian alternative to insurance (very interesting), a story about Europe’s Demographic winter (Interesting, I’ve been interested in a while about the declining population in Europe), and then two articles (near the top) about homosexuals.

Why is a “family” organization discussing someone’s sexual orientation? I thought that a Christian family organization wouldn’t want to discuss sex on their website, especially when they’re the first two articles you see.

This isn’t a family website. This is a propaganda tool, and its my job as the most independent blog on the net to expose it:

The first article mentions the Hate Crimes Act of 2007. This isn’t the first place I’ve heard this, and I hate picking on a reader (well, I guess a former reader now), so I’ll say, I’m not just directing this at just you. I’m just going to quote your site:


“ The same day that ENDA was introduced, another bill — commonly called the Hate Crimes Act (HR 1592) — cleared committee for a full vote by the House. The Hate Crimes Act criminalizes a vast array of state and local acts and threatens religious leaders with criminal prosecution for their thoughts, beliefs, and statements.

The intent of the Hate Crimes Act is to give special status to homosexuals. Republicans tried to expand the “protected class” in the bill to include senior citizens, pregnant women, prior victims, children under 18, the unborn, court witnesses, the military and more. Democrats defeated all amendments, projecting the welfare of homosexuals above other classes of citizens. The House Judiciary Committee then passed the bill on strict party lines —20 Democrats for and 14 Republicans against”.


I read the bill HR 1592 . Granted, all laws are too difficult to read (that’s on purpose by the way). Here’s what it actually says:

“SEC. 6. PROHIBITION OF CERTAIN HATE CRIME ACTS.

(a) In General- Chapter 13 of title 18, United States Code, is amended by adding at the end the following:

`Sec. 249. Hate crime acts

`(a) In General-

`(1) OFFENSES INVOLVING ACTUAL OR PERCEIVED RACE, COLOR, RELIGION, OR NATIONAL ORIGIN- Whoever, whether or not acting under color of law, willfully causes bodily injury to any person or, through the use of fire, a firearm, or an explosive or incendiary device, attempts to cause bodily injury to any person, because of the actual or perceived race, color, religion, or national origin of any person--

`(A) shall be imprisoned not more than 10 years, fined in accordance with this title, or both; and

`(B) shall be imprisoned for any term of years or for life, fined in accordance with this title, or both, if--

`(I) death results from the offense; or

`(ii) the offense includes kidnaping or an attempt to kidnap, aggravated sexual abuse or an attempt to commit aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill.

`(2) OFFENSES INVOLVING ACTUAL OR PERCEIVED RELIGION, NATIONAL ORIGIN, GENDER, SEXUAL ORIENTATION, GENDER IDENTITY, OR DISABILITY-

`(A) IN GENERAL- Whoever, whether or not acting under color of law, in any circumstance described in subparagraph (B), willfully causes bodily injury to any person or, through the use of fire, a firearm, or an explosive or incendiary device, attempts to cause bodily injury to any person, because of the actual or perceived religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or disability of any person--

`(I) shall be imprisoned not more than 10 years, fined in accordance with this title, or both; and

`(ii) shall be imprisoned for any term of years or for life, fined in accordance with this title, or both, if--

`(I) death results from the offense; or

`(II) the offense includes kidnaping or an attempt to kidnap, aggravated sexual abuse or an attempt to commit aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill.”

To break it down a little for you, it basically says that the penalty for a crime committed because the victim was a homosexual will mean a mandatary 10 year sentence

So tell me, how does this “criminalizes a vast array of state and local acts and threatens religious leaders with criminal prosecution for their thoughts, beliefs, and statements?”

The answer: it doesn’t. It only ups the sentence to a minimum of 10 years when you commit an actual crime because of someones race, religion sexual orientation etc.

The only people who want to criminalize thought are on your side AFA.

Why did the AFA say this? They didn’t think you would read the bill. It was a pretty sure bet.

But they didn’t count on The-G-Blog. They didn’t suspect that anyone who’d read their propaganda would verify it. It says family in the name, why should we?
