"PIM Fortuyn, the charismatic right-wing Dutch politician murdered last week was a powerful advocate or paedophilia"

This needs to be read. Fortuyn was evil, no conservative should support him just because he favored the free market.

My mother looked at me searchingly and asked what had happened.

Well, at least he ran home to mommy.

Now THIS would cause me to apply the extremist label. The nonsensical hysteria from the European press was over his views on immigration. They look at the world through some perverse glasses.

[demlosers]

If true, the guy was sick.

We all know what Fortuyn was. He was no Right winger. As a matter of fact I think that "right wing socialist," as he was called in today's paper, is a real oxymoron.

[2Trievers]

After reading this repulsive article, I think I have to go take a shower!

[patton]

For god's sake, man, he was a piece of trash. It was interesting, though, to watch the left describe a gay pedophile as a "right winger." Like when the call Hitler a "Right winger", even though he was head of the National SOCIALIST Workers Party of Germany.

And now, their heads will explode.

[blackie]

He's dead...God is dealing with him...

[Shermy]

Well, the Dutch didn't smear him with this, and they tried everything.

And did he say other things other times?

Frankly, he sounds like a victim himself. And Holland, I've read, has an age of consent of 12 (!)

What did you do, ping the whole damn world?

Please take me off your ping list.

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.

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

[summer]

Very interesting. Thanks for the ping.

[HowlinglyMind-BendingAbsurdity]

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.

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.

[MeekOneGOP]

fyi......

[rdb3]

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

...was a powerful advocate of paedophilia"

Fortuyn was evil...

Not that his homosexuality had anything to do with that, of course.

And Islam is a religion of peace.

Heck, just the fact that he was Dutch made him suspect in my book, the rest was just proof.
