We read in Reuters that the Dutch pedophiles are strong enough to seriously talk of launching a political party. Their demands? Lowering the sexual age of consent to 12 -- then eventually abolishing it. Also: decriminalizing child pornography, sex with animals, drugs, public nudity, etc.
Meanwhile on the Massachusetts scene, we've reported on State Senator Jarrett Barrios' plans to establish an independent Massachusetts government commission "for" gay, lesbian, bisexual, and trans youth. Commission members would include only the most radical GLBT activists. So can Massachusetts be far behind the Netherlands? Let's see -- We already have pre-schoolers indoctrinated about "alternative families," and bills filed in the legislature to decriminalize sodomy and bestiality. And government-sponsored mixers where adult men hand out flyers to teens at a GLBT prom, inviting them to parties in private apartments.
From the Dutch news report:
Charity, Freedom and Diversity (NVD) party said on its Web site it would be officially registered Wednesday, proclaiming: "We are going to shake The Hague awake!" The party said it wanted to cut the legal age for sexual relations to 12 and eventually scrap the limit altogether.
"A ban just makes children curious," Ad van den Berg, one of the party's founders, told the Algemeen Dagblad (AD) newspaper. "We want to make pedophilia the subject of discussion," he said. ...
"They make out as if they want more rights for children. But their position that children should be allowed sexual contact from age 12 is of course just in their own interest," [said an] anti-pedophile campaigner. Right-wing [does that mean "bad"?] lawmaker Geert Wilders said he had asked the government to investigate whether a party with such "sick ideas" could really be established....
The party wants private possession of child pornography to be allowed ... It also supports allowing pornography to be broadcast on daytime television, with only violent pornography limited to the late evening. Toddlers should be given sex education and youths aged 16 and up should be allowed to appear in pornographic films and prostitute themselves. Sex with animals should be allowed although abuse of animals should remain illegal, the NVD said. 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.
