We are no longer allowed to think that is wrong.

Openly endorsing pedophilia is doing plenty wrong.

The problem with parts of the Right today is they see nothing wrong with defining deviancy up.

Milo isn’t a libertarian or a conservative; he’s a vulgar boor.

I’m out with him being part of our movement. I won’t abandon core values to be hip and cool.

That argument is not a bandwagon on which I wish to jump.

I like Milo because he has a lot of common conservative sense about him. His personal lifestyle and predilections aren’t something I particularly want to consider, though.

Suffice it to say, he’s hit a roadblock, and it is up to him to navigate it by himself as far as I’m concerned. I won’t do any explaining for him, nor do I wish him ill will in the political advancement of conservatism.

Milo made the mistake of saying that intergenerational gay sex with boys below the legal age wasn’t always bad, depending on the maturity of the boy.

It’s a personal opinion, not illegal to express, but a potentially harmful position for Bannon’s Breitbart, especially, to be angled into having to defend. In short, it helps the left to be able to toss off pizzagate, etc., by drawing a parallel with the defense of Milo.

So it worked out about how it should have. He won’t be at CPAC, leading to the MSM confounding the issue with Trump’s appearance there. Sure, would have been better if he hadn’t said it and it hadn’t been dug out, but so it is. I commend Milo and Breitbart on their handling of it this week.

And I’ve ####ed unmarried women and can’t promise I never will again, though it’s highly doubtful.

I guess I’ll leave the board if every other hypocrite does too.

Your statement pretty much sums things up for me, too.

FWIW, I have a strong impression that a large percentage of the "pedophilia sex" scandal in the Roman Catholic church was actually sex between gay priests and post-puberty boys. Something I absolutely condemn, but it's not pedophilia.

It's rape.

An Objective statement: CPAC just screwed a whole bunch of men (women and children too for that matter). I’m speaking of conservative men. Milo was a tremendous thorn in the side of the liberal/progressives, a mighty weapon. I hope CPAC elopes with McLame and Grahamnesty, cause they sure ain’t gonna get any love from me.

Being a pervert is being conservative?

Wow - and I bet you denounce Lena Dunham and George Takei for getting on board with the pedophilia chic bandwagon.

There’s a word I have in mind that describes people like that: hypocrite.

You want to give a Milo a pass for behavior the Left has no problem with.

I do have a problem with it because I have standards. That’s what conservatism is all about.

Where did he say “below the legal age”?

If i said some old guy was sleeping with a young girl and it’s disgusting, I could VERY well mean and WOULD likely mean a 70 year old and an 18 year old.

I remember this young gal i dated when i was 30.

Does that statement make you think i dated a 12 year old?

I’ve worked with a lot of gay guys in manhattan.

it isn’t unusual for 18 year olds to hook up with 40 year olds or older.

They use the word boys.

I dont approve of that, but they are consenting adult.

If he specifically said “boys below the legal age” then that is a very different story. And if he said he approved, and wasn’t just stating a fact.

LOL! Is that what they call the sexual exploitation of children by adults these days?

What’s next? Legitimizing humans having sex with animals?

No wonder people don’t take conservatives seriously.

Milo can bring conservative ideas to people who would never listen to more traditional conservatives.

His voice has a value. I have no want to see him silenced.

He has apologized for his inarticulateness. I can accept that and dearly hope he gets help for his own terrible childhood sexual abuse trauma.

Breitbart is supposedly going more mainstream. In that case, Milo would not be a good fit anyway. He’ll land on his feet—he has enough of a profile on SM.

He’s reaching out to people the rest of us could never reach and preaching the message of conservatism.

a year , maybe two at most. Agreeing with Milo’s lifestyle would have been unthinkable on FR. I have absolute Truths that I live by. They will not and cannot change, because they are based on God’s Word.

they just fall into the same traps over and over

Yes they do. So sad that they fail to learn, and then wonder why they continually lose after tasting success. Kind of like how America treats her international friends from one administration to the next.

I somewhat agree with you, but when he has suggested that pedophilia/gay relationships with children is somehow “normal”, I can no longer act like he represents us.

I struggle with how it is possible to separate his views on gay relationships with children from his general “conservatism”, by chalking it up to his personal lifestyle.

He has certainly helped to promote political conservatism, and has been a voice that has been able to reach some younger adults.

Yes, he will have a challenge ahead, to dig out of this hole, IMHO.

“We are no longer allowed to think that is wrong.”

Bullshite!

IMO, homosexual activity is sinful activity. Does this invalidate Milo as a person? Of course not. Like me, Milo is a sinner. Sinners are EVERYWHERE!!! Does Milo’s homosexual activities invalidate everything he says regarding feminazi’s, his advocacy AGAINST pedophilia, his extreme distaste for progressivism, his support for free speech on college campuses & elsewhere, his support for President (Daddy) Trump? Nope.

I hope EVERYONE who believes in the power of prayer PRAYS for Milo to cease & desist all homosexual activity instead of acting like progressives & talking like he is less of a human than anyone else. My wife & I plan on buying his book when it comes out because we want to support Milo in his efforts to destroy progressivism. Something conservatives used to be about.
