he needs therapy if, as he said today, he was a child sex abuse victim.


More importantly, he needs Jesus. All of us do. He is our only Hope. http://www.thereishopeinjesus.com/

Sex between an adult and anyone under the age of consent is an unalloyed, unquestioned evil. It is simply not something open for debate or hypotheticals or shades of gray. Milo is witty, intelligent and he has said some things that badly needed saying in this era of left-wing sheep-think on college campuses, but I don’t know how or if he can recover his credibility from these statements on pedophilia. I will listen to what he has to say tomorrow with interest.

I expressed this sentiment clumsily in another thread, but I hope he goes on the offense and challenges his attackers to live by their values.

Milo expressed sentiments (legitimizing a young gay male having a constructive relationship with an older gay male) that should be embraced by the left, but because Milo is saying it, it must be disavowed. I don’t believe the sentiments are healthy, but were he describing opposite sex relationships after the fact with similar age disparities, hardly an eye would be batted. I say let his detractors defend their territory instead of Milo defend his.

Prediction: He does gay conversion therapy and repents, becomes loud advocate for conversion to the consternation of social justice warriors. Loudly warns about the danger gay men pose to teen boys.

A question: Was he actually gay, or was it part of a means to increase his fame and fortune?

Milo needs to go away. For now.

He needs to step away from the spotlight for awhile. Examine himself. Take some stock and assess some things.

And then when it's done, come back stronger than ever.

Have all the “conservatives” who piled on Trump and preferred Hillary disqualified too? Because I’m not part of that “us”

I like the go away for a while idea, with some kind of re-hab like intervention.

Sure, it’s phony but then he can come back slowly.

But for now he initiates the going away, rather than Breitbart firing him.

well, if Breitbart doesn't fire him, that leaves them in a tenuous position when pizza-gate blows up. You can't be both FOR and AGAINST pedophilia.

Homosexual sex between ANY ages is an unalloyed, unquestionable evil. This is why—when they’re living in that “lifestyle” (or really a death-style) homosexuals are more likely to approve of all kinds of other perversions, and evils.

Milo’s been able to resist a lot of the confusions and evils of most homosexuals (which is why he’s a conservative—on everything but sex), but with that one thing—acceptance of a homosexual identity—which began with pedophilia, in his own abuse....is poisoning his soul.

Homosexuality goes directly against God’s model for man.

God made Eve from the rib of Adam.

This man and woman were to be fruitful and multiply.

Homosexuality interrupts God’s model for men to pair up with a woman and be the leader in a heterosexual relationship with their children in the home.

Part of the problem here, is that breaking this model reduces man’s impact on society.

Homosexuality, the demonization of men, the elevation of women, The ease of divorce and the wreckage, it all contributes to the same thing, the destruction of God’s model society.

This leads to decay in the structure of our nation, of which the family is the cornerstone.

Homosexuals have made their choice, and it isn’t God’s choice.

When it comes to this choice, it corrupts other choices.

Milo is very problematic. While he can rattle off good defenses of Conservatism, one has to keep in mind his proclivity to cling to perhaps one of the biggest taboos of Conservatism and God’s master plan, homosexuality.

He isn’t a Conservative and we’re (including me) kidding ourselves thinking it would be good if a homosexual were to defend Conservatism in public.

Alas, it isn’t.

Milo, you were abused, no matter what you tell yourself.

The clarity of these facts just may be Milo’s only reasoned contribution.

He defends Christianity more boldly and more eloquently than many Christians can. Prayers for the LORD to comfort him and that Milo draws ever closer to saving faith. <3

“He isn’t a Conservative”

Yes, this is the bottom line: full stop. He was amusing during the election year, but now a liability.

It's been pointed by out Instapundit that there's a double standard here - Lena Dunham has written about sexually abusing her younger sister when she was a child, and she gets a TV show, interviews and endless opportunities to make a fool of herself in the media. Milo admits that he was abused as a child, says he wasn't that traumatized by it and he gets dropped from CPAC and loses a book deal.

I'm not OK with the Milo video statements on pedophilia, and I need to know that he sincerely does not believe them in order to take him seriously again. But the double standard is definitely there.

Libertarians are the ones excited by the “conservative” Milo who likes men having sex with underage boys. I think he’s got some real mental issues. He hates women, too.

Homosexual pedophilia is no laughing matter. That statement is pretty sick and sounds like adult men going after young boys.

He is brilliant, but he needs to condemn this completely. Love the sinner, hate the sin.

No.

Homo vs hetero is not the whole point. It isn't even remotely important here, even if it is important elsewhere in life, and I agree it is important.

This is not a skirmish in the culture war, it is team sports and the anti-trump elements of American society will find any wedge issue to scuttle dissent. It matters not what that issue is, it only matters that there is an issue to wedge and weaken, and if you accept their premise, you have to accept their conclusions... And their conclusions are you lose. I understand the hesitancy to avoid addressing values and culture as important, but it is what the left has pinned us down with for years and if we have a chance to win against the tactics, we have to avoid their traps. Romney tried to play the good guy in this play in 2012, and he was cast as a demon with the 'war on women' slur. If your only motivation for involvement in politics is to keep the homos out, it makes sense to disavow Milo. However if your motivation is to combat statistics and supporting the statist machine, I would encourage a good strong rum.
