Congressional Thought Crime Bill Passed - Get Ready for Minority Report

For those who are unaware, Minority Report is a movie. It starred Tom Cruise and was a tale of a future where crimes were foiled by beings cognizant of things about to occur.

In a show of its basic lack of intelligence, the House passed a bill making thought crimes illegal. Name any dead famous science fiction author - they are all rolling in their graves. The ones who are alive are on their way out of town.

The U.S. House of Representatives recently passed HR 1955 titled the Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007. This bill is one of the most blatant attacks against the Constitution yet and actually defines thought crimes as homegrown terrorism. If passed into law, it will also establish a commission and a Center of Excellence to study and defeat so called thought criminals. Unlike previous anti-terror legislation, this bill specifically targets the civilian population of the United States and uses vague language to define homegrown terrorism. Amazingly, 404 of our elected representatives from both the Democrat and Republican parties voted in favor of this bill. There is little doubt that this bill is specifically targeting the growing patriot community that is demanding the restoration of the Constitution.

First let’s take a look at the definitions of violent radicalization and homegrown terrorism as defined in Section 899A of the bill.

The definition of violent radicalization uses vague language to define this term of promoting any belief system that the government considers to be an extremist agenda. Since the bill doesn’t specifically define what an extremist belief system is, it is entirely up to the interpretation of the government. Considering how much the government has done to destroy the Constitution they could even define Ron Paul supporters as promoting an extremist belief system. Literally, the government according to this definition can define whatever they want as an extremist belief system. Essentially they have defined violent radicalization as thought crime.

The funny thing is that only 3 Republicans and 3 Democrats voted against the bill. Balance!

Perhaps the next thing we should do, as good citizens, is push for the passage of a bill modifying the requirements for Congressional Representative, because we had 429 people taking up space needlessly. Apparently 25 years of age just does not weed out enough of the childish, stupid people. A mandatory IQ test, with triple digits needed for a pass should also be required.

We can only hope that the Senate can pull their collective heads out of the trough of campaign funding long enough to vote this idiocy down quickly.

Calls to Senators in each state are in order here - I don’t think anyone wants to live in a science fiction nightmare these people are beginning to weave.
