Boys' ranches in Washington state (probably all over) have been hotbeds of homosexual abuse for decades.

[Brilliant]

Where's the "it's only sex" crowd?

SPOKANE -- It's been a year of staggering news for a region that likes to bill itself as a good place to raise a family. The Spokane area seems awash in pedophiles homosexual pederasts.

Thats how it should read!

"In nearby Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, Joseph Edward Duncan III is accused of bludgeoning to death three members of a household as he kidnapped two small children for the purposes of sex. One of those children, 9-year-old Dylan Groene, was killed."

"The number of pedophiles in the United States is not known, but mental health experts estimate that 4 percent of the population has a sexual orientation toward children, the vast majority of them males."

Mayor Jim West used the Internet to seek dates with young men and allegedly molested boys ...

Hey! Not fair. Jimmie is a democRAT and besides, it's only about sex.

[manwiththehands]

There are folks out there who want to run our country and want us to believe that this kind of behavior is NORMAL. They've been teaching it to our kids for years ...

[Spok]

Actually, West is a Republican, which is why his perversity is a crime. (sarc)
That's why his recall is certain-no one will support a gay Republican.

A traveler's advisory has been issued for the greater Spokane area:

Visitors are advised to bring food, water, galoshes, a baseball bat and a boat (with the plug firmly in place) when traveling to Spokane and the surrounding areas.

[ValerieUSA]

What a ridiculous guesstimate!
It may hold true in Spokane or other cities where it has been an underground lifestyle crossing all social distinctions for generations, but generally, I doubt it is true.

After so many bishops moving pedophile priests around to avoid scandals and all the coverups, I am very suprised that nobody has sued under the RICO rules. I know the dioscese I grew up in was run in a way that made the mob look like a bunch of part time hub cap thiefs.

"The number of pedophiles in the United States is not known, but mental health experts estimate that 4 percent of the population has a sexual orientation toward children, the vast majority of them males."

Here we go, folks!

You're going to hear this figure bandied about to indicate that pedophilia isn't such an abnormal thing, because 4% is something like 11 million Americans, or roughly the population of Ohio.

Eventually this number will be bumped up to something like 1 in 10 in the propaganda.

Note also that it's being defined in the relative benign phrase, "sexual orientation towards children." We've had decades of re-education to believe that sexual orientation is innate, and thus a prohibited grounds of discrimination.

[Heyworth]

Actually, West is a Republican, which is why his perversity is a crime. (sarc)

The other problem is that he was an outspoken opponent of gay rights, which makes him (and by extension other such opponents) look like a hypocrite. Gay rights advocates are rubbing their hands with glee at this scandal.

Doesn't the writer know he is describing great art? Where is Robert Mapplethorp when you need him? Oh that's right he is dead from AIDS.

[Welsh Rabbit]

West assertively denies any wrongdoing.

Just doing some "research", I suppose?

[isom35]

Jim West? is his Lt. Governor Artie Gordon?

"The number of pedophiles in the United States is not known, but mental health experts estimate that 4 percent of the population has a sexual orientation toward children, the vast majority of them males."

Every time your hear the term mental health expert, you should interpret mental health patient. Psychologists makeup the largest quack operation known to history. This diseased community has drifted from labeling the housewife as filled with neurosis to the white man as a psychopaths.

Here we go is right. I think this battle for the hearts and minds of the straight folks to accept this added ingredient will be even easier and quicker than the last 10 years of indoctrination/acceptance of their lifestyle. Something tells me these people's brains who have come to accept this have been rewired to respond more immediately now. I don't expect to hear much of a peep as the news keeps rolling in about sex with animals and children.

I don't doubt the 4% having leanings toward children. I think it is higher. Children are what everyone is looking at on the porn sights/mags etc., so the straights will have to justify for the others.
