Orwellian Hate Crime Database to Be Set Up For Thought Criminals in Michigan

This is what happens (I live in Michigan, home of the proposed 46 cent per gallon gas tax increase proposal) when you elect leftists as your governor along with your cadre of usual suspects.

Please note, I am a senior citizen (age), am self identifying (for the purpose of this post) as a female, my grandparents were from Argentina (ethnicity), I am disabled and my religion is stomped on by the friendly peaceful folks in Dearborn so I suppose I can have at it because I'll be talking about myself which would be the ultimate in hilarity when the state decides I am guilty of "hate speech" against myself.

The SPLC is a left wing political agenda driven system.

I would say that they are a political terrorist organization.

I support your statement and was trying to give you a star, but it won't allow it. Why does it always seem I can't star on topics like this? It always seems to work on non-sense threads where I'm staring a joke or something, but if it's 2nd ammendment, or similar, my star's don't stick. What's the deal?

Sorry, I know it wasn't your fault, just wanted to put it out there if it was happening to anyone else.

All the children will be on that list.

Sometimes stars don't take immediately. The page has to refresh.

It's censorship.

If you're afraid to speak because you might be placed on some god-damned list, it's censorship.

And the 1st Amendment restricts government from applying censorship.

This is unconstitutional.

It's way worse than censorship. It's their first step in jailing people for opinions that don't fot their plans for total control.

Authoritarians wouldn't be authoritarians if they didn't want that.
