CRIMINALIZING THOUGHT By Neal Boortz (Excerpt from NEALZ NUZE) August 11,1999 boortz.com We are told that the Los Angeles police are investigating whether or not the shooting at the day care center was a "hate crime." (Naw --- I'm sure the predator actually loved his victims deeply.) We'll deal with so-called "hate crimes" more in a later show. But ---- this warning. There is a goal here that goes far beyond categorizing and punishing certain crimes as "hate crimes." The goal is to criminalize certain types of thought. The statist liberals want to make political correctness part of federal and state law, just as they have made it part of rules and regulations on our college campuses. WITH MY OWN EARS I heard the substitute host on Good Morning America this morning suggest that the FBI might want to monitor "hate sites" on the Internet and keep tract of the people who log in there. Let's change the name of the show to "Good Morning Big Brother."

NOW --- SOME QUOTES: By Neal Boortz August 11,1999 boortz.com I go back to a recent column by one of my favorites, Thomas Sowell. He was writing about the Atlanta shootings. It applies to Los Angeles as well. Some excerpts: "Is the way to prevent more tragedies like the one in Atlanta to pass laws ensuring that virtually all Americans will be as helpless as those who were shot and killed by Matt Barton? Does that make any sense?" "When people ask emotionally, ‘How can we stop these things?' the most straightforward answer is to ask: ‘How was it in fact stopped? It was stopped like most shooting sprees, by the arrival on the scene of other people with guns." "It is the monopoly of guns by people with evil intentions that is dangerous."
