NAMBLA is pushing hard for APA to “normalize” pedophilia.
Surely we are in the end times...
Completely agree about the end times!
Haven’t heard anything in a while about NAMBLA and the American Psychiatric(?) Association (APA). Or is it Psychological?
It just gets crazier every day!
Libertarian purists, however, dont plan to be locked in the attic like a crazy aunt. Case in point: last months child-porn-gate.
The fracas started with Mary J. Ruwart, the candidate with perhaps the deepest, purest libertarian roots (her rejection of government is so complete that some party moderates have begun warning of the anarchical dangers of Ruwarchy). In April, a rival called her out for her thoughts in a 1999 book called Short Answers to the Tough Questions. Children who willingly participate in sexual acts have the right to make that decision as well, even if its distasteful to us personally, Ruwart wrote. When we outlaw child pornography, the prices paid for child performers rise, increasing the incentives for parents to use children against their will.
Ruwarts is a classic libertarian take a defense of free will (even for child performers) and an attack on government prohibitions of any kind. Its also political poison. As libertarian blogger Steve Newton put it, Ruwart and her allies run the risk of turning the party into the poster child for NAMBLA and the aluminum hat brigade.
The partys executive director, Shane Cory, saw the danger as well, and rushed out a press release titled, Libertarians call for increased communication to combat child pornography. Cory was attacked by hardliners who saw the release as an endorsement of increased federal prosecuting power. The party refused to vote on a resolution asking states to strongly enforce existing child porn laws. Cory resigned in protest, depriving a party in the midst of what may be its most promising election season of one of its most able organizers and fund raisers. But for many libertarian faithful, adherence to the most rigid of principles always trumps practical considerations about how those principles might be more broadly observed.
The Pedophilia issue is the hill to die on...The Revolution needs to start on this issue. As soon as it is legally normalized, then our governmental institutions will have lost their legitimacy and all good people everywhere will have the responsibility to not co-operate with such a monstrosity!
Christians may have to turn the other cheek at times but we were not instructed to give our children to Molech.
