Pedophiles to launch political party [Netherlands]

Dutch pedophiles are launching a political party to push for a cut in the legal age for sexual relations to 12 from 16 . . .

The age of consent is 12 in Kentucky . . . as long as the other person is within five years (17). That is true for 13, 14, and 15 year olds as well. 16 is the "no stipulations" age of consent.

Speechless but not surprised...lots of el sicko two-legged beast out there...

[Perdogg]

Technically, wouldn't they be considered ephebephiles, instead of pedophiles?

[mhking]

Un-blinkin-believable...

[ConservativeMind]

They're Progressives!

"Sex with animals should be allowed although abuse of animals should remain illegal..."

Well, I'm glad we've got that covered.

"If they point to America, they will find it is legal over here (it is criminal only in certain states and under certain circumstances)."

It was legal in the states of Washington and Florida, but last I heard Washington banned it. Not sure about Florida.

[Perdogg]

That's the same in Maryland.

[Irish_Thatcherite]

Nah, Mo would fit right in!! ;)

Ginsberg, when at the ACLU, promoted the same thing.

"We are going to shake The Hague awake!"

Right....because the kids are down for their afternoon nap and they're feeling a bit "anxious."

Sickos.

Have you ever observed the actions of Cardinal Roger Mahony of the Diocese of Los Angelos?

The following article describes Cardinal Roger Mahony relative to pedophiles:

---

And anybody who thinks Mahony is a sincere advocate for civil disobedience should talk to protesting pro-lifers: Squeamish about getting too close to them, Mahony won't even let them collect signatures for ballot propositions on his parishes' property. Notice, too, that he now speaks of compassion as more important than law — but when common sense and basic compassion dictated that he cooperate with the authorities in protecting children from pedophile priests, he didn't, arguing that his understanding of the law didn't technically require cooperation.

Michael Baker, an ex-priest caught molesting children, has testified about Mahony's hypocritical brand of I'm-above-the-law clericalism, recounting that after he offered to turn himself in to the police, Mahony's chancery lawyer said, "Should we call the police now?" And Mahony's response was, according to Baker, "No, no, no." Mahony then assigned Baker — over the subsequent 14 years — to several parishes near schools and children.

Jurors sitting on a case involving a pedophile priest in Stockton (a priest whose ministry partially overlapped with Mahony's tenure as bishop of Stockton) concluded that Mahony didn't even respect the rules of the courtroom. In their deliberations on the size of the settlement to the victims in the case, the jurors disregarded Mahony's testimony, sizing him up as a witness who lacked credibility. One juror told the press that he "found Mahony to be utterly unbelievable."

Standing against the law, in other words, comes easily to Mahony — not because he grasps a higher law, but because his self-indulgent liberalism is essentially lawless. His left-wing clericalism means that he can ignore justly enacted positive laws with the same casualness with which he ignores inconvenient parts of canon law.

I had to laugh when I heard last week that he in effect called on Los Angeles Catholics to "fast" and "pray" that amnesty be extended to illegal immigrants. This is a cardinal who normally considers such practices ultramontane burdens — a cardinal who waives Holy Days of Obligation when they fall too close to Sunday, because he doesn't want the faithful to suffer the agony of going to church twice within three days. Yet to advance his chic liberalism he will harness the power of old-time piety and invoke weighty Catholic language he usually dismisses as too sectarian. The Church, he proudly harrumphs against a phantom threat, "is not in a position of negotiating the spiritual and the corporal works of mercy" — a phrase I've never heard him utter before.

In a related story, Michael Jackson has just announced that he is moving to The Netherlands.

[BadAndy]

They have the NVD, we have the DemocRATS.

[Tokra]

"A ban just makes children curious, safer " Ad van den Berg, one of the party's founders, told the Algemeen Dagblad (AD) newspaper.

[Tokra]

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.

What a bizarre statement. I'm picturing trains full of naked stoned Dutch people.

[TXnMA]

Other politicians only talk about us in a negative sense, as if we were criminals

~~~~~~~~

"as if..."???

I have lost track of how many FReepers have predicted that, if homosexuals were legitimized, the pedophiles would be right behind them, claiming to be, "normal, too"...

To all of you: You were right on!

[Lukasz]

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.

So, I understand that 33 percent consider promoting pedophilia as a freedom of speech or already have such tendencies, what a pathetic clowns.
