Yep. Milo has been very clear that pedophilia is wrong. His statements about age of consent laws being about right should clear up that matter. The question of whether some older adolescents are capable of consenting to sex is a valid one. Mistaking what a person says regarding their own personal experience as a broad endorsement for that experience to become the accepted norm is just lazy thinking.
Amen.
We are all sinners in need of repentance, redemption,and Grace.
I did not watch Milo's video, but I read a short excerpt of his apology yesterday, and it sounded sincere.
Satan is always working to destroy the family, and sexual sins (adultery, homosexuality, promiscuity, etc) have strong tentacles, that only God (Christ's intercession, and the Holy Spirit's renewal) can help one break free.
Prayers that Milo can break free and find real peace.
All this moral superiority will sure serve us well as the left purges all our effective tools one by one.
Bingo.
What the Conservative moralists don't seem to realize (or maybe they do) is that the Left will ALWAYS make us "live up to our own standards." It's Alinsky Rules for Radicals.
All the Left has to do is investigate investigate investigate someone's entire life to find one nugget of moral failings, and then it's ATTACK!
The Conservatives gladly join in with the Left to destroy their own ally to prove how righteous they are.
It's been going on for decades.
It's why mainstream Conservatism is dead.
I wouldn't go to CPAC if you paid me.
That is the right approach. Milo is a sinner who is loved by God. God who is ready to offer him freedom from his sins.
No one has been more tough on Milo than me but he’s no where near this rogue’s gallery!
If he gets his book self-published it will spring to the top of the heap on Amazon. He needs to do it quickly though.
Yes, well said. I will continue to listen to him and pray for him. I’ve done a lot of thinking about this and bouncing my thoughts off my family. Some of us Christian Conservatives really don’t know what to do with Milo. However, I truly want to be more like Jesus, listening to the Bible when it talks about love. I truly think that Milo has an important voice for some Conservatives. I like what he says about women. I know many Conservative gays. We have much common ground in our conservativeness. My son, who is not gay, knows the designer Andre Soriano. My son says he’s funny, witty, smart. (as is my son lol) My friends all know where I stand as a Christian, but I also stand for free speech. I hope we, as a Conservative community will allow Milo to speak his thoughts, without condemnation. I hope we will will not be like the left in this situation.
Well Milo didn’t advocate that but let’s don’t get confused by the facts. Its so much easier to just make stuff up. :-)
I’ve stayed away from this subject. But no longer. So here is my take in a few words.
1. Milo is Libertarian/libertarian/conservative or some mix of that. He’s on our side.
2. Milo is gay. Not our thing. Not by a mile.
Add up the pluses and minuses of that mix and you find yourself with a right-leaning spokesman who gets a lot of attention from people who are generally not on our side that he has the power to influence. Plus a gay guy. We don’t like gay guys.
So boot him out and what do you have? IMHO, one less important asset in The Big Fight. And not much else. You get to feel good for a few minutes. Looks like a bad trade to me.
It’s more like the liberal version of Miranda. Anything you say will be used against you, taken out of context, and embellished in the court of pop culture public opinion. Emphasis on the latter two.
I do not endorse Milo’s lifestyle, but neither do I endorse putting words in people’s mouths.
A number of these Youtube commentators call themselves Libertarian. Not really sure what that means -- what exactly is their philosophy.
It seems like Republican Lite. Sort of the way many liberals want to call themselves "Progressives." It carries less of a stigma, more a ring of respectability.
Yeah sure they are. ...Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch? He belongs to a far-left church that embraces marriage redefinition, gun control, and the theory of man-caused global warming. He belongs to St. John's Episcopal Church in Boulder, Colo., the Episcopal diocese of Colorado confirmed on Wednesday. Church bulletins show that the judge has been an usher three times in recent months. His wife Louise frequently leads the intercessory prayer and reads the weekly Scripture at Sunday services, and his daughters assist in ceremonial duties during church services as acolytes. The first word that St. John's uses to describe itself on its website and Facebook page is "inclusive," and the church is led by a female rector. On its website, the church encourages members to write letters to Congress asking for actions addressing climate change. That's not all. Its website also calls for members to lobby their congressmen for more gun control. Rev. Susan Springer has said she is pro-gay marriage and offers blessings to same-sex couples The church's Rev. Ted Howard also signed a letter slamming the 'disrespectful rhetoric' directed at Islam as Trump floated a ban on Muslim immigrants[.] ...
