Pedophile Protection Act?

[srkruzich]

So, I'm still confused.  The bill (named after Matthew Shepard) is just about hate crimes against these types of offenders?  It's still a crime to commit those type of sexual crimes, but this bill protects them against hate crimes?  I suppose that's understandable; it should be a crime to beat anyone, for any reason (except home/personal invasion).  But it's still sad that they had to tack all these types of things onto this bill, which before all this deviant wording, was a pretty good, morally right bill...  You can't beat someone because they're different than you.

None of those "deviant" items were tacked on the bill.(Seems some people just refuse to read the bill as written). That is just the incorrect statement of the data source in kshillbilly's post. Your understanding that it is just about hate crimes where people injury others because of their sexual orientation.  It will not protect pedophiles from being prosecuted for their crimes.

Another piece of useless legislation.  There are already laws on the books for comitting crimes against a person.  This is just a means to create a thought crime.

Srkruzich, that's what I've thinking too. 
Yes, having a conservative thought could be crime.

Only the "anointed" could even introduce such legislation
and one would like to imagine that all partakers would be
soundly defeated next election too.

Like I said some people just refuse to read the bill. The bill is appropriating money to be used to help local and state agencies investigate hate crimes. Local agencies can get access to federal crime lab resources, personnel etc. It is not a criminal statute.

That's not good to have the Fed's provide money to local
governments.  And locals should not acceot any Fed money
or grants.

It's no wonder things are amiss and a mess.

This statement displays an utter lack of any justification for your position.  The idea that you would favor tax dollars not being utilized by local government organizations displays contempt for the people in these areas.  However, it fits within your grain of deny everything government and object to any program ever that may do some good.

ITs not the federal governments job to provide funds for everything that society wants.   IT's only job is to provide for the common defence against enemies foreign or domestic.  Anything else falls under states rights.

Printing money is defined in the constitution as the job of Congress.  This federal reserve isn't congress now is it?  They have shirked their job.   If it isn't defined in the constitution then it isn't a legal venture of government.   Remember what isn't specifically designated as the federal governments job in the constitution is exclusive rights of the states.
