From Reason Magazine article:
"'Hate crimes have no place in America,' House Speaker Nancy Pelosi boldly declared last week, 'no place in a nation where we pledge every morning "with liberty and justice for all."' Pelosi was urging her colleagues to approve a bill aimed at violence motivated by hostility toward members of certain designated groups.Is it just me, or is there a kind of proportion that looks something like this:
"According to Pelosi, then, the 'justice for all' mentioned in the Pledge of Allegiance means equal opportunity to be a crime victim. It certainly does not mean equality before the law, which the hate crime bill sacrifices by treating perpetrators of the same crime differently because they hold different beliefs."
