I've now read about Fortuyn's approval of pedophilia in three different places, so it's well confirmed. Yes, it's a condemnable depravity. BUT, just as the charisma of a leader doesn't confer any virtue on the ideas he promotes, the failings of a leader are irrelevant to the merits of those ideas as well. Remember that when the enemies of freedom start to argue that, because Fortuyn condoned pedophilia, therefore everything else he advocated was equally evil. You just know that's coming.

"What did you do, ping the whole damn world?"

Yes, several thousand of you. This is an issue that deserves publicity, it is the only time I've ever used this "ultimate list." You have been removed.

I have no problem with homosexuals (consenting adults, privacy of the home)....

You live in a dreamworld. There is no such thing anymore. Try this article for clarification:

Of course most of my interest in what has been happening in Europe is pure "shadenfraude".

These are what I call "but" conservatives. "I'm a conservative but..."(x,y,z exception). Of course, in his case, he was also a "butt" conservative.

Nonsense. We've all heard more than three people say that Dubya stole the election -- I suppose you also consider that "well confirmed"?

This smells of an escalation of the smears against someone who is no longer able to defend itself.

I am NOT impressed. I have no idea who the hell you are, and I don't appreciate being on a ping list "several thousand" long.

Don't ping me again.

>Fortuyn was evil, no conservative should support him just because he favored the free market.

Right!  More and more of every day's decisions come down to whether we choose to love G-d (good/morality/righteousness) or whether we love Mammon (evil/this world's system/wickedness) and we vote with our MINDs and our HAND...to will and do that which is good or evil.

I've already taken you off the list. I've had this list for several months now, and this is the only time I've chosen to use it, and probably will be the only time I will ever use it.

I saw there was a news item that wasn't getting enough attention. Most of the people pinged to this thread appreciate it; if you don't like it, there's no reason to get so upset.

I think it's very big news that the media would have suppressed or ignored something like this.

If it is true (Big If), then Fortuyn should never have been nominated by his party.

I have no problem with homosexuals (consenting adults, privacy of the home) but pedophilia is another matter.

I understand that this is not true about him being a pedophile. Uh, does, media bias sound familiar?......

If he did indeed espouse favorable opinions of pedophilia, then I'm with you on this one.
