As many of you know Snopes.com has taken umbrage to an Action Alert from the AFA on June 14. The AFA alerted their readers and supporters that H.R. 1592 and S. 1105 are potential legislation that can be used as persecution toward Bible Believing Christian. The persecution would be labeling preaching and public expression of Biblical Christian Morality as hate speech.
Snopes.com proclaimed the AFA Alert was a gross stretch and down right false and thus in the realm of “Urban Legend.”
This was disturbing to me for I often use Snopes.com as a source to debunk scams and chain email. After careful consideration I decided to stick up for the American Family Association. This is when I posted “AFA VS Snopes.com.” I used The Real Truth article about how the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals manipulated current laws to render a Leftist anti-Free Speech ruling for posting Christian material on work place bulletin boards is illegal (while the posting of homosexual information was perfectly condoned) as an example.
I am extremely delighted the AFA have has chosen an official rebuttal to Snopes.com which I will post as well. I also must point out that I still believe that Snopes.com is the debunker of Urban Legends on the Internet. I do not know the official politics of Snopes.com but going after the AFA Action Alert was more secular humanistic cultural spin than an exposé of a falsehood.
I am going to point you to another blog I use for the official AFA response to Snopes.com. I would place it here but my tech guy (my son) is a little slow in allowing unlimited html at SlantRight. If I have too much html the web spirits will not allow me to post. That is the case there is a lot of html links to back up the AFA response to Snopes.com.
I am The Plebian and the entire rebuttal is posted there: You can read now if you so wish.
I have been watching the Constitutional course of H.R. 1592 and S.1105 as they are debated in Committees. If the House and the Senate work out the details, the legislation would come across the White House desk of President Bush.
The American Family Association claims if the House and Senate action on these bills proceeds it will make free speech for Bible based Christians a hate crime (Theway2k Editor: because it could fall under inciting homosexuals and sexual deviants toward violence).
Snopes.com in no uncertain terms has listed the AFA claims about the H.R. 1592 and S. 1105 as a hoax, meaning the AFA is lying about the legislation.
I might add as a SlantRight.com editor that I usually find Snopes.com a reliable source of disseminating of what is truth and what is false based on the facts. Currently I lean toward the possibility that the Snopes.com interpretation of H.R. 1592 and S. 1105 is less a debunking and more an expression of the Slanted Left position on these two bills.
Here is the fair(est) audit of the opinions of what the House bill and the Senate bill would accomplish I have if enacted. After reading the link it becomes obvious that the Snopes.com proclamation of “Hoax” is not a simple cut and dry assertion. There are some political Big Dogs that agree with the AFA and agree with Snopes.com. Snopes.com fails to mention this by choosing Liberal side thus the label of hoax.
This June 8th article about how the Left Wing Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals (West Left Coast district) from The Real Truth demonstrates how the Slanted Left is able to manipulate laws. (By the by, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals is the most overturned Appellate Court in America’s judicial system.)
Here is a call to Bible believing Christians to make your voice known. Write your Congressman and Senator to voice your opinion about H.R. 1592 and S. 1105.
I have to admit that the American Family Association (AFA) may go a little over the top in its agenda to make aware of moral issues that the Mainstream Media (MSM) fails to report on. For the most part I do agree with the AFA agenda. This is one of those cases. Don Wildmond of the AFA is conducting a poll that should place in perspective the benefits (or lack thereof) of Mohammedanism offers . When you click the link to go to the poll, the AFA position is clicked for you. If you disagree with it simple click the answer you wish to be collected.
