The Untouchables: NY Senate passes bill making ‘annoying’ police a crime

The New York State Senate passed a controversial bill on Wednesday that aims to classify ‘aggravated harassment of a police officer’ as a crime, but will it give the authorities the green light for strong-arm tactics if passed?

by Paul Kokoski Homosexuality is a troubling moral and social phenomenon. Due to benign interpretations of the homosexual condition itself it is increasingly being viewed as something neutral or even good. In the words of Cardinal George of Chicago, the gay liberation movement has begun to “morph into something like the Ku Klux Klan”.

Nonetheless homosexual acts must be considered wrong and intrinsically disordered. They are contrary to… View Article
