Nobody normal or moral defends pedophiles.

It is untrue that the Federal government has granted "protected status" to pedophiles. Anyone who believes that is too stupid to be allowed to operate simple machinery, let alone vote.

The original quoted post is something that has been reblogged around a number of right-wing, conspiracy minded or anti-gay sites for the past three years in part because of their opposition to including sexual orientation or gender identity to hate crimes laws.

"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives."
Winter is Coming

Now this is the Law of the Jungleā€”as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.
