AMSTERDAM, Netherlands (AP) - June 1, 2006 - Several self-avowed pedophiles founded a political party in the Netherlands and plan to endorse broadcasting pornographic material on daytime television and allowing children as young as 12 to feature in porn films.
The Charity, Freedom and Diversity party said Wednesday its central campaign platform will be lowering the age of consent in the Netherlands from 16 to 12. "Forbidding children from sex only makes them more curious," party president Martijn Uittenbogaard told The Associated Press.
Uittenbogaard said his new party had supporters from "all corners of the country" but acknowledged Wednesday's launch had been marked by poor attendance. Reports said the launch in the city of Leiden was only attended by people from the media.
Uittenbogaard declined to give membership figures. The party still has to register with the government to be recognized as a political party.
He acknowledged his ideas are loathed by most Dutch people.
"A lot of people are against us and that's not strange but that doesn't worry us very much because we know we also have a lot of support," he said.
Pollster Maurice de Hond dismissed the Netherlands' newest political arrival. "No one will vote for this party. Maybe they will get a thousand voters but not the 60,000 needed to get a parliamentary seat," he said.
Uittenbogaard said he had been a pedophile activist for many years.
Party secretary Norbert de Jonge told local media that he had been a target of hate e-mails and phone calls since Tuesday.
"They think its a joke but we're dead serious," he said.
What are they gonna call themselves? The DNC? or the ACLU?
Ping.
Bet they nominate Jacko for president.
But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them.

May God have mercy upon us.
Libertarians
Those Dutch. Dont they make love to their dogs and horses over there too?
Is this something the Libertarian is pushing for? First I'd heard of it. The DNC and ACLU though...
Another article mentioned that they wanted to eliminate age of consent laws and make bestiality legal.
Lets see, they want to lower the age of consent for chldren. Of course the children get no say in this.
"Those Dutch. Dont they make love to their dogs and horses over there too? "
I do not know about that but I have a pretty good idea what they plug their dikes with....
Now if Muslims crazies want to start killing folks in Holland like this--I can understand the rationale.
I know the Welsh are fond of their sheep.
Trad - thanks for the ping. Scripter is not available right now; and DBeers is manning the Homosexual Agenda Ping list and wagglebee has shouldered the Moral Absolutes ping list. I know they appreciate it when a ping is flung their way.
Unfortunately, there is more than enough material...
Actually, the Libertarians aren't that specific when it comes to the age of consent. They leave it open, saying that the child makes that decision.
"However, children always have the right to establish their maturity by assuming administration and protection of their own rights, ending dependency upon their parents or other guardians, and assuming all responsibilities of adulthood."
CHARITY FREEDOM AND DIVERSITY PARTY__AKA Democrats?
LOL......
A Welsh in sheeps clothing perhaps?
