Don't Pooh-Pooh the Left's Push to Normalize Pedophilia
Rush Limbaugh.com ^ | January 7, 2013 | Rush Limbaugh

Posted on 01/07/2013 1:49:38 PM PST by Kaslin

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: We are loaded today, folks. You can't afford to miss a single syllable today. For example:

There is an effort underway to normalize pedophilia. Yep. And it has two aspects to it. One is that sex with children doesn't hurt them. Kids like it, and so do adults, and there's nothing wrong with it. It is something... I want to take you back. I want you to remember the first time, wherever you were, that you heard about gay marriage, and I want you to try to recall your reaction -- your first gut reaction -- when you heard that some activists or somebody was trying to promote the notion of gay marriage. What was your initial reaction?

"Aw, come on. It'll never happen. That's silly. What are you talking about?"

There is a movement on to normalize pedophilia, and I guarantee you your reaction to that is probably much the same as your reaction when you first heard about gay marriage. What has happened to gay marriage? It's become normal -- and in fact, with certain people in certain demographics it's the most important issue in terms of who they vote for. So don't pooh-pooh. There's a movement to normalize pedophilia. Don't pooh-pooh it. The people behind it are serious, and you know the left as well as I do. They glom onto something and they don't let go.

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: It's right there. It's in the UK Guardian. "Pedophilia: Bringing Dark Desires to Light -- The Jimmy Savile scandal..." He's a presenter on the BBC. "The Jimmy Savile scandal," it says here, "caused public revulsion, but experts disagree about what causes pedophilia -- and even how much harm it causes." So "experts disagree about what causes pedophilia," and then they do interviews to make the case for pedophilia.

(interruption)

No, it's not a crime; it's love!

(interruption)

Yeah, there are statutes on the book.

The statutes are wrong. The statutes are from a bygone era where everybody's morality was wrong. Look, I’m just telling you what it says. They make the case that kids enjoy it, adults enjoy it; what's wrong with a little love? The same things that were said about gay marriage. Look at the Elmo story, the puppeteer at PBS. Three or four young people, kids, were hit on by that puppeteer. Look how little attention that story got. In fact, that story was laughed off. It wasn't a big deal at all.

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: I'm not engaging in shock value. I'm not trying to shock you. I'm just telling you what's out there on this pedophilia business. I'll tell you where I first saw it. Wesley Smith, who is married to Debra Saunders. She's a San Francisco Chronicle columnist. He had a little blog post at the National Review website: "Is Pedophilia Just Another 'Sexual Orientation'?" I said, "What?" So I read it.

It was this piece that alerted me to the column, the piece about this in The Guardian, and that piece suggests that pedophilia may be just another sexual orientation. It's not perverted, it's not wrong, it's just another sexual orientation. And, in fact, it's quite loving and as natural as any other sexual orientation. This is what those of us with our heads and minds in the Dark Ages have got to modernize and realize.

The argument being made in the piece is that the desire for sex with children is a natural part of the human condition. And, in fact, if we acknowledge it, and encourage it, we can actually somehow better protect children. That's in the story, too. It's the same thinking, if you remember back in the nineties, when we were told that kids are going to have sex, you can't stop them. And that's why we needed to give away condoms in the schools.

Remember we had stories from Long Island about parents who said that they willingly let their daughters' boyfriends spend the night because it was better if their daughter was gonna have sex in a clean bedroom rather than the backseat of a car. Well, same thing here. We can better protect children if we know that they're having sex with adults rather than it being done on the sly.

If it's supervised, and if it's engaged in by loving people, then what's wrong with it? This is in the article. I just want to remind you, now, when you first heard about gay marriage -- and I don't mean to pick on gays. It's not what I'm saying. It's just something that was such a tremendous departure from accepted norms of the day. When you first heard about gay marriage, you pooh-poohed it.

When you first heard me say that the Sierra Club was gonna try to come after you and ban your SUV, what was your reaction? "Aw, come on, Rush! There you go again: Overreacting, exaggerating." Well, you know that the SUV has become a target. You know all about that. You know how much progress the notion of gay marriage has made. So I'm just keeping you here on the cutting edge.

In fact, the article in the Guardian actually quotes some academics. (For those of you in Rio Linda, that's college professor types. These are the people you see that have leather arm patches on their sport coats.) Academics are quoted in the Guardian piece saying that sex with adults does not hurt children. Normalization. So Jon Henley decided he'd write a whole piece on this, normalizing pedophilia, where he quotes extensively and looks into it and finds out what this is all about.

"Pedophilia: Bringing Dark Desires to Light," and it says, among other things (this article is loaded), "Pedophiles may be wired differently." There's nothing wrong with them. They're just "wired differently. ... But there is a growing conviction, notably in Canada, that pedophilia should probably be classified as a distinct sexual orientation, like heterosexuality or homosexuality. Two eminent researchers testified to that effect to a Canadian parliamentary commission last year, and the Harvard Mental Health Letter of July 2010 stated baldly that pedophilia 'is a sexual orientation' and therefore 'unlikely to change.'"

Can you imagine if Jerry Sandusky had had this information at his trial? What do you think the reaction would be to Jerry Sandusky's defense saying, "Hey, look, it's normal. The kids love it, he loved it, nobody was hurt. And in fact, it's just a different sexual orientation"? Now, what do you think's behind this? What kind of people do you think are behind this, this effort to normalize pedophilia? Which is what? The abuse of kids, is it not? Who's behind that?

What is their objective? They want us to all think that pedophilia is just another sexual orientation. You know who's gonna fall right in line is college kids, just like they have on gay marriage, just like they do on all other revolutionary social issues. Their own definition of the cutting edge, civil rights, freedom, understanding, tolerance. So I'm just warning you here. You think it can't happen. "Impossible! Don't be nutso and wacko on us, Rush."

I'm just asking you to remember all of the things that occur normally in our culture now that when you first heard about them you thought, "No way! That'll never happen; that'll never be mainstream," and now they are. Here is another one to add to the list. (interruption) You want more excerpts from this piece? "In 1976 the National Council for Civil Liberties, the respectable (and responsible) pressure group now known as Liberty, made a submission to parliament's criminal law revision committee.

"It caused barely a ripple. 'Childhood sexual experiences, willingly engaged in with an adult,' it read, 'result in no identifiable damage ... The real need is a change in the attitude which assumes that all cases of pedophilia result in lasting damage.'" So you see it's you who have to reorient your thinking. It's you who have to get rid of your bigotry. It's you that have to open up and become more tolerant. It is you judgmental people who think this is child abuse when it isn't.

You are the ones who are going to have to change. The pedophiles and the children involved, they're normal, just like you or anybody else. It is your old-fashioned conventions that create the problem. So another excerpt. "It is difficult today, after the public firestorm unleashed by revelations about Jimmy Savile [the presenter at BBC] and the host of child abuse allegations they have triggered, to imagine any mainstream group making anything like such a claim.

"But if it is shocking to realize how dramatically attitudes to pedophilia have changed in just three decades, it is even more surprising to discover how little agreement there is even now among those who are considered experts on the subject." Here is the money quote: "For Goode, though, broader, societal change is needed. 'Adult sexual attraction to children is part of the continuum of human sexuality; it's not something we can eliminate,' she says.

"'If we can talk about this rationally -- acknowledge that, yes, men do get sexually attracted to children, but no, they don't have to act on it -- we can maybe avoid the hysteria. We won't label pedophiles monsters; it won't be taboo to see and name what is happening in front of us.'" See? The only people who have to change are you who have these old-fashioned, Victorian-type attitudes. You're gonna have to open yourselves up to love and realize that wherever it happens, it's wonderful. No matter what.

Now, there were people -- I just want to remind you -- back during the early days of the effort to redefine what a family is, and in the early days of the gay marriage activists. There were people who said, "Well, if this becomes mainstream, then someday marrying your dog is gonna be okay, and then having two husbands and two wives in one family is gonna be okay, 'cause who can say it isn't?" There were others who predicted that pedophilia would be mainstream, and there was an outcry of opposition to this.

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: By the way, the expert that I was quoting extensively from in the pedophilia story in the UK Guardian is Sarah Goode. She is a senior lecturer at the University of Winchester and is the author of two, count them, two major sociological studies on pedophilia in society in 2009, 2011. Hey, folks, look, I know it's uncomfortable. I'm just warning you, there's now an effort on to normalize it. It's safe for children. Controlled supervised, engaged in two loving people, it's actually safer for children this way.

I mean, it's the same rationale back in the nineties for giving away condoms. We can't stop it. Kids are going to have sex, so we want to make it as safe as we can. It's the same technique being used here.

It’s a great analogy and it’s exactly how the queer movement gained a foothold to “normalizing” itself years ago. If you say it often enough, it must be true-—just ask obama.

They don’t adopt, they get one of their queer judges to sentence the child for life into the custody of the queers.

This policy started in Texas under Dubya, in about 1997. Do you remember the good Christian woman who blew the whistle on Child Protective Services doing this sub rosa? She was fired instantaneously, no redress, no appeal, no nuthin' -- that's when I realized something is really, really wrong at the top of the Texas GOP, if there's that much Queer Power in Texas.

And of course, the whole issue was backstopped by sympathetic media (in fact, the gay adoptions were strictly illegal, CPS had not a leg to stand on ) -- and Lt. Gov. Perry, Gov. Bush, and the whole pack of them in Austin didn't lift a finger to help this woman or reprove the sneaky queers who were doing this to kids, or arrest their deviation from policy.

Gays cant reproduce gays, they have to condition a straight child into being one.

Either through brainwashing in school and in the media or by other means...

Read (or re-read) Huxley’s Brave New World.

The opening scenes are dedicated to telling how the children were sexualized by the State.

It robs them of their soul and sense of self, and addicts them to physical pleasure, which the State later manipulates to keep the masses sedated.

My biggest beef with Rush and all the rest of the media is the constant use of “gay” instead of “homosexual.” Absolutely gets me madder than hell when I hear “gay,” which used to mean happy.

If the homosexuals are so damn proud of being homosexuals then they should not object to being called such.

Yup! Rush along with the rest of the media celebrate faggotry whether they know it or not by not "picking" on them . . . they're perverts . . . they are "pickable" . . . They should be condemned at every chance

Pedophiles should be castrated with a chain saw. If the libs succeed in “normalizing” it, then it will be up to the populace to set matters straight.

As is not unusual, the Guardian is enlarging the comments in Dr. Goode's paper, which is by several reports not as exceptional as is portrayed. The paper may be misrepresenting her opinion toward an obvious deconstructionist agenda. As indication, she posted the following comment here:

Sexual abuse of children is a major cause of emotional harm within our society, affecting something like 20% of all children. It is not a minor or trivial problem: as academics, we have a responsibility to understand and address this issue, for the wellbeing of all our children and our future society.

That doesn't sound quite so "pro-pedophilia" to me, so I would like to know more before running with this particular paper. After all, we have had NAMBLA for thirty years, so this is hardly news.

I read a fascinating piece, probably here, a while back explaining that pedophilia was on the list of “rights” the left was agitating in favor of, but once the priest scandal broke, the Catholic Church was too tempting a target so the push for pedophile rights was back-burnered in favor of bashing the Church for the time being.

You be my friend for life, I have been raging about that for decades.

Gay means happy you farquing demented deviants!

My sainted father is spinning in his grave hearing his old favorite movies like the "Gay divorcee" and such if now released would connote a homosexual themed deviant fest.

Don't worry about him getting out. The other prisoners will see to that. Even if he got a pardon tomorrow, he'd never make it out.

You may wish it were true but it isn't. Most sex offenders serve their time quite well in segregated units and are released to offend again. If you don't believe that, just check your local sex offender registry.

Been watching and predicting this for a long time.

Abortion leads to abortion on demand, then abortion for sex selection and eugenics reasons and finally to infanticide.

It is also the starting point for “right to die.” “Right to die” leads to “duty to die” and then to euthanasia.

“Normalization” of homosexuality and homosexual marriage leads to promotion and recruiting at our schools, which leads to “normalization” of a host of other perversions, including paedophilia.

And it all started with taking Christ out of schools because it “offended” a few perverse individuals.

This how civilization dies.

Rush is correct, but there is one thing he may not be considering.

If the State and nation I live in are stupid enough to point at two gay men playing tonsil hockey and call it a marriage, I will be vehemently opposed, but I have no desire to harm anyone because of this stupid error. I believe most Americans share these feelings.

However, if the law put its blessing on pedophilia, I believe there are many fathers and mothers who would kill any pervert who placed a hand on their child, and would do so even if it meant life in prison. And there would only need to be a few...

An additional note: This is one of those changes that could probably only be achieved with a disarmed populace. Maybe that’s why the UK is up first.
