Pedophiles to launch political party

AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - Dutch pedophiles are launching a political party to push for a cut in the legal age for sexual relations to 12 from 16 and the legalization of child pornography and sex with animals, sparking widespread outrage. Before you know it, anyone out of diapers will be fair game.

The Charity, Freedom and Diversity (NVD) party said on its Web site it would be officially registered Wednesday, proclaiming: "We are going to shake The Hague awake!" Doubt it. This is yet another case of cooked frog.  (i.e. if you put a frog in boiling water, he jumps out but if you put him in cold water and turn the heat up gradually, he'll be simmered and separating before he knows what hit him...) 

The party said it wanted to cut the legal age for sexual relations to 12 and eventually scrap the limit altogether. And there you have it.

"A ban just makes children curious," Ad van den Berg, one of the party's founders, told the Algemeen Dagblad (AD) newspaper. Children are curious about gas stoves, too, should we let them hold a match to the pilot light?

"We want to make pedophilia the subject of discussion," he said, adding the subject had been a taboo since the 1996 Marc Dutroux child abuse scandal in neighboring Belgium. There's a reason certain things are taboo, dumb a$$. (Sorry about the swear - I'm getting more and more miffed as I read this a second time...)

"We want to get into parliament so we have a voice. Other politicians only talk about us in a negative sense, as if we were criminals," Van den Berg told Reuters. Hmm.  Wonder why the negativism?

The Netherlands, which already has liberal policies on soft drugs, prostitution and gay marriage, was shocked by the plan. Shocked is always the first reaction. Then the debate starts.  After a few roundtable discussions and about 35,000 mentions in the press, tolerance is the byword.  Within a few years, tolerance becomes acceptance and eventually, the behavior is embraced. Want proof?  Watch Will and Grace.

An opinion poll published Tuesday showed that 82 percent wanted the government to do something to stop the new party, while 67 percent said promoting pedophilia should be illegal. Those are roughly the same figures that opposed gay marriage 5 years ago - now there is a slim (single digit) majority against legalization of homosexual unions. Think about it!

"They make out as if they want more rights for children. But their position that children should be allowed sexual contact from age 12 is of course just in their own interest," anti-pedophile campaigner Ireen van Engelen told the AD daily.   Ya think?  Of course, the next arguments will include "it's natural",  "there is evidence of premature sexual activity in the animal world"  and "there may be a genetic predisposition"...Sound familiar?

Right-wing lawmaker Geert Wilders said he had asked the government to investigate whether a party with such "sick ideas" could really be established, ANP news agency reported.  Can I just ask where the hell these "right-wing lawmakers" were when the Dutch society first got thrown into the pot of cool water???

Kees van deer Staaij, a member of the Christian SGP party, also demanded action: "Pedophilia and child pornography should be taboo in every constitutional state. Breaking that will just create more victims and more serious ones."

The party wants private possession of child pornography to be allowed although it supports the ban on the trade of such materials. It also supports allowing pornography to be broadcast on daytime television, with only violent pornography limited to the late evening. Have they never seen soap operas?  I'd say we already lost this battle - notice they want VIOLENT PORNOGRAPHY available in the evenings - they aren't even talking about pay-per-view here.  They wanted it piped into everyone's homes.

Toddlers should be given sex education and youths aged 16 and up should be allowed to appear in pornographic films and prostitute themselves. Sex with animals should be allowed although abuse of animals should remain illegal, the NVD said. Toddlers - that's the 2 and under crowd. Got it?  Usually, not even potty trained yet.  Bestiality is apparently okay also so long as the poor beast doesn't get hurt - how thoughtful.

The party also said everybody should be allowed to go naked in public and promotes legalizing all soft and hard drugs and free train travel for all. 

And there you have it, folks.  The next step.  Don't convince yourself that this movement is a fringe or that it is only going to impact loose-moraled European nations.  America is only a few steps behind Europe with respect to social libertarianism.  For some reason we believe in regulating businesses but allowing individuals to completely debase the species. 

Lately, I feel like Lot, only instead of men beating down my door to defile those under my roof, the sickos are piped right in through the internet, television and radio.  They are marching in our streets and force feeding their propaganda to our children through the public school system.  And they are slowly leading people away with flattery - selling the idea to the masses and the younger generations that the pinnacle of intellectualism is tolerance of the most intolerable acts. 

As concerned citizens, we must stop the erosion of the most basic values of human decency.  We must speak out.  We must climb out of the simmering stew and reclaim our freedom from degradation.  The slope is slippery and it begins with the acceptance of anything less than traditional marriage as a legitimate union of consenting adults.  Call your senators.  Write to your representatives.  Demand that they vote in favor of the Marriage Protection Ammendment.

Last week, Jack Cafferty gave a short report on CNN's Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer.  I don't usually watch the news (I prefer to read) and I never watch the Communist News Network because the bias is apparent it is an insult to my intelligence.  Here is the text of Cafferty's comments:                                                                                                                                               

Wolf, Today’s lesson in hypocrisy comes to us courtesy of the Senate Judiciary Committee. They met in a different private room behind closed doors today and approved a Constitutional Amendment banning gay marriage. at one point the thing got pretty ugly. A shouting match, between the Republican Chairman Senator Arlen Spector and Democratic Senator Russ Feingold, who said he was against the Amendment as well as Spector’s decision to hold the vote in a private room out of the public’s view.

These guys are shameless. Feingold eventually stormed out telling Spector “I’ve enjoyed your lecture Mr Chairman. See ya.”

Senator Spector in a real show of courage, says that he is “totally opposed to the Amendment”, but he voted for it anyway saying that it deserves a debate in the Senate. Majority Leader Bill Frist says the full Senate will now debate a Constitutional Amendment which has absolutely no chance of passing. Frist hopes to have a vote by June 5th.

This is all being done by the republican majority in an effort to appeal to Right-wing nuts in the Republican Party ahead of the upcoming mid-term elections. Ignore all of the pressing issues facing the country, and instead go grovel at the feet of the lunatic fringe. Senator Frist should be very proud of himself. That’s leadership. Here’s the question: Is now the time for the Senate to consider a constitutional Amendment on gay marriage?”

You will notice the fair and balanced treatment given to conservatives on CNN.  Nice.  Definitely, no liberal media bias there...(eye roll)  Here's a fact for Mr. Cafferty, the "lunatic fringe" on the right outnumbers Gay Americans to the extent that your left fringe has to subvert democracy through activist judges to get social approbation.  Let's get real here, Jack!  For a group so enthralled with protecting the disenfranchised, you are perfectly willing to ignore the votes of the large majority of Americans who recognize homosexuality as the social illness that it is.

The simple truth here is this:

This Judiciary Committee approval comes two days after Georgia Superior Court Judge Constance C. Russell single-handedly invalidated the Georgia Marriage Protection Amendment, which was passed by 76% of Georgians at the ballot box. Social engineers of the activist judiciary movement want to remake our nation in their preferred image and they are disenfranchising every voter that disagrees with the far left's anything goes system of ethics and morality.  Click here to speak out for family values.

Family Leader has written an interesting article discussing the results of a recent study analyzing same-sex marriage.  Turns out that all that talk about same-sex couples wanting to make a long-term commitment through legalized marriage is even more baseless than Bill Clinton's claims not to have had sex with "that woman".  Check it out:

Same-sex Couples—No Rush to the Altar

Do homosexuals really want to marry?  Does marriage suit the homosexual lifestyle?
