We have a highly moralistic society that is not consistent with liberty.
Bullshyte. What the Architects of the American Declaration of Independence thought about that is written in stone for all to see with their own eyes.

In “Batman,” the Joker rhetorically asks a young Bruce Wayne: “Tell me, kid – you ever danced with the devil by the pale moonlight?” Well, I have. Not by the pale moonlight, but in a brightly lit Four Points Sheraton in Baltimore, Md.
On Wednesday, Aug. 17, I – along with the venerable child advocate Dr. Judith Reisman – attended a conference hosted by the pedophile group B4U-ACT. Around 50 individuals were in attendance, including a number of admitted pedophiles (or “minor-attracted persons” [MAPs] as they euphemistically prefer), a few self-described “gay activists” and several supportive mental-health professionals. World renowned “sexologist” Dr. Fred Berlin of Johns Hopkins University gave the keynote address, saying: “I want to completely support the goal of B4U-ACT.”
Here are some highlights from the conference: • Pedophiles are “unfairly stigmatized and demonized” by society. • There was concern about “vice-laden diagnostic criteria” and “cultural baggage of wrongfulness.” • “We are not required to interfere with or inhibit our child’s sexuality.” • “Children are not inherently unable to consent” to sex with an adult. • “In Western culture sex is taken too seriously.” • “Anglo-American standard on age of consent is new [and ‘Puritanical’]. In Europe it was always set at 10 or 12. Ages of consent beyond that are relatively new and very strange, especially for boys. They’ve always been able to have sex at any age.” • An adult’s desire to have sex with children is “normative.” • Our society should “maximize individual liberty. … We have a highly moralistic society that is not consistent with liberty.” • “Assuming children are unable to consent lends itself to criminalization and stigmatization.” • “These things are not black and white; there are various shades of gray.” • A consensus belief by both speakers and pedophiles in attendance was that, because it vilifies MAPs, pedophilia should be removed as a mental disorder from the American Psychiatric Association’s (APA) Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), in the same manner homosexuality was removed in 1973. • Dr. Fred Berlin acknowledged that it was political activism, similar to the incrementalist strategy witnessed at the conference, rather than a scientific calculus that successfully led to the declassification of homosexuality as a mental disorder: The reason “homosexuality was taken out of DSM is that people didn’t want the government in the bedroom,” he said. • The DSM ignores that pedophiles “have feelings of love and romance for children” in the same way adults love one another. • “The majority of pedophiles are gentle and rational.” • The DSM should “focus on the needs” of the pedophile, and should have “a minimal focus on social control,” rather than obsessing about the “need to protect children.” • Self-described “gay activist” and speaker Jacob Breslow said that children can properly be “the object of our attraction.” He further objectified children, suggesting that pedophiles needn’t gain consent from a child to have sex with “it” any more than we need consent from a shoe to wear it. He then used graphic, slang language to favorably describe the act of climaxing (ejaculating) “on or with” a child. No one in attendance objected to this explicit depiction of child sexual assault. There was even laughter. (In fairness, Dr. Berlin did later tell Mr. Breslow that his words might “anger” some people and that he [Berlin] is categorically opposed to adult-child sex with “pre-pubescent” children. When asked about the propriety of adult-child sex with pubescent children, Dr. Berlin did not provide a clear answer.)
So, am I just an intolerant, “pedophobic” bigot? Apparently so. In fact, Dr. Berlin says pedophilia is just another “sexual orientation.” Some of the “minor attracted” conference-goers insisted that they were “born that way.” Sound familiar?
This is sexual anarchy – fulfillment of the moral relativist dream.
In the 1940s, homosexual psychopath and secular-humanist messiah Alfred Kinsey's stated goal was to destroy, in society, the Judeo-Christian sexual ethic. He has largely achieved that goal.
Indeed, during his sexology “research,” Kinsey facilitated the rape of thousands of children – some as young as 2 months old – placing stopwatches and ledgers in the hands of “minor-attracted persons” to document their “findings.” He then recorded everything in what is generally referred to as the “Kinsey Reports.”
Kinsey determined, among many things, that children are not harmed by sex with adults and that it can be a positive experience. Old Al even earned his very own Kinsey Institute, still in existence today at Indiana University.
As recently as 1998, the APA seemed to agree with Kinsey's assessment, releasing a report that suggested harm caused by child rape was “overstated” and that “the vast majority of both men and women reported no negative sexual effects from their child sexual abuse experiences.”
Furthermore, the APA report suggested that the term “child sex abuse” be swapped with “adult-child sex,” indicating, as did Kinsey, that such “intergenerational intimacy” can be “positive.” Isn't “tolerance” wonderful?
Oh, and the “progressive,” political-activist APA has also seen fit to join an amicus brief in favor of so-called “same-sex marriage.” What does this have to do with psychiatry? Your guess is as good as mine.
Make no mistake: Children are the target of what I call the “sexual anarchy movement.” Whether it's the movement's pedophile wing that seeks to literally rape children, or its radical pro-abortion, homosexualist and feminist wings, which seek to rape the minds of children, the larger sexual anarchy movement has a shared goal: Attack, corrupt and destroy God's design for human sexuality. Children are just collateral damage.
Sexual anarchists know that to own the future, they must own the minds of our children. Hence, groups like B4U-ACT, GLSEN (The Gay Lesbian Straight Education Network), Planned Parenthood and the like utilize academia from pre-school to post-graduate to brainwash and indoctrinate. Still, sexual anarchists are not restricted to the world of not-for-profit perversion advocacy. They also permeate the Obama administration.
Consider, for instance, that the official website for the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) recently linked to “parenting tips” that referenced children as “sexual beings” and suggested that they should experiment with homosexuality and masturbation.
Small surprise when you consider that radical feminist and pro-abort Kathleen Sebelius was President Obama's pick as HHS secretary.
You may also recall that Mr. Obama appointed Kevin Jennings, founder of the aforementioned GLSEN, to the post of “safe schools czar.” The position is now defunct, ostensibly due to national outrage over Jennings' appointment.
In keeping with the thinly veiled goals of B4U-ACT, GLSEN seems to be “running interference” for pedophiles, having tacitly advocated adult-child sex through its “recommended reading list” for kids.
Again, not surprising when you consider that one of Jennings's ideological mentors is “gay” activist pioneer Harry Hay. “One of the people that's always inspired me is Harry Hay,” he has said glowingly.
What did Mr. Hay think? I'll let him speak for himself. In 1983, while addressing the pedophile North American Man Boy Love Association (NAMBLA), Hay said the following:
“[I]t seems to me that in the gay community the people who should be running interference for NAMBLA are the parents and friends of gays. Because if the parents and friends of gays are truly friends of gays, they would know from their gay kids that the relationship with an older man is precisely what 13-, 14-, and 15-year-old kids need more than anything else in the world. And they would be welcoming this, and welcoming the opportunity for young gay kids to have the kind of experience that they would need.”
(Oddly, there's another “gay” activist group, Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays, or PFLAG, that frequently partners with GLSEN. I wonder where they came up with the catchy title.)
Bolstered by support from the National Education Association, GLSEN has access to your children through sex education curricula it provides thousands of public schools across the country, and via adult sponsored “Gay Straight Alliances,” hosted in those same schools.
Alas, we live in a post-Kinsey America wherein our culture, along with our Judeo-Christian heritage, rots in the heat of the day. The stench of sexual anarchy is masked by the soaring, disingenuous rhetoric of “tolerance,” “diversity” and “comprehensive sex education.”
Sick to your stomach? I am. Why can't these sexual anarchists leave our children alone and let kids be kids?
So that’s it then. The problem is with anyone who opposes sex with children.
Unbelievable. Just unbelievable.
The closing sentence “Sick to your stomach?” is exactly what I am. I had to scroll through it after a few paragraphs. These perverts should be locked up, not holding conferences.
“Does not have any effect on the kids..”
I know several people who were sexually abused as children. No effect? It is the exact opposite. One woman had her issues with drug/alcohol abuse (she is sober now) all due to trying to dull the pain of her abuse. Another woman has attempted suicide twice... as a teen and a college student. Yes... she just couldn’t take the “flashback memories” anymore. Another woman has had a difficult time finding a good man. She has dated good men but she distances herself. She can’t let herself get close or fall in love. Why? She loved someone before and look how they hurt her. I pray for the victims of childhood abuse (physical, sexual and emotional) because they are damaged in a way. The idea that some “psychological group” is making all of this sound warm and fuzzy infuriates and sickens me at the same time.
We have a highly moralistic society that is not consistent with liberty.
This little tid-bit is completely inconsistent with the principles of liberty found in the writings of the founding fathers, and the books they used to research the principles of liberty. I don’t think I would be too far off the mark to list the Bible if not on top at least very close to the top of their research list.
At 6 (in the late 50’s) I was molested by a 14 year old girl. I’ve been married 5 times, lived with several women, and have never been able to really commit. My two brothers, on the other hand, have been married to the same women for 40 and 34 years. They have told me they were never interested in another woman. We were brought up in a Christian home, in church every Sunday. Of course, I have never been interested in a child. I would guess that pretty much sums up what it did to me. It does have a profound effect on the victims. The girl that molested me had been molested from a young age.
I have been happily married for the last 17 years, so I think I’ve finally gotten past it. At the time, and for many years, I didn’t think it had really affected me. But I now think that is what drove my relationships with women. So yes, I would have denied, as the article states. The victims don’t realize what a great effect it has. Look at our society and the promiscuity of our youts, as Rush would say.
Time to declare Jihad on these perverts who are corrupting our society.
It should be legal to shoot these scum and throw them to the gators.
and throw them to the gators
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
You must have great disdain for gators.
Is it not possible to infer that those that advocate, probably engage? Unless the gubmint plans to legalize statutory rape, I suggest that some criminal investigations begin . . . yesterday.
Of course, under sharia law, these things are more than encouraged by Mohammad himself.
I am so happy that you have found your soul mate and married for the last 17 years. I think (personally, no data) that boys are equally molested in numbers the same as girls. However, our society tries to cover that up... While women can go to a therapist, state they survived such torment... is okay. Why do we cringe when it happens to a little boy? Are they suppose to somehow just recover without any lasting negative effects. Personally, I think if criminologists looked into juvenile crime, I think abuse would statistically pop up like red flags. If criminologists looked into other issues like “non commitment, substance abuse etc” I have the feeling that abuse would be overwhelmingly high in numbers.
Prayers for you TStro!
I feel like I’m living in an alternate reality. I cannot believe this is happening.
Since the day that my first child was born, I have always said that if someone touched them... I would do time. If our legal system starts to paint the abusers as “another lifestyle” and that they are the ones who are “victims of an ignorant society”... I have the feeling that many of them would simply disappear. The gators would be fat, happy and well fed.
Back in the 70s the gays and the pedophiles were working together to push their agenda. The gays split once they realized it was hurting their agenda.
The pedophiles have published plans showing they are using the same tactics as the gays.
If good people don’t want pedophiles to be normalized (aka legal) then we had better speak up.
I want them to push this. I REALLY want them to push this and drag the gay groups right down with them. Let everyone finall see what they’re all about.
This will be the straw that broke the camels back and a gift to the entire conservative movement. The backlash will be volcanic.
“... they are using the same tactics as the gays”.
They certainly are... “we were born this way”, “we are misunderstood and victims of bigotry and hated” etc... Same crap, different day. I personally think (or should I say hope and pray) that most people will not see it as a victimized group. Even those who say that “what homosexuals do in the privacy of their own bedrooms” won’t be able to approve of some man raping a three year old. At least that is what I hope.
Mudhead did it it must be good. It aint never gonna change or evolve.
Proof of satanic control right there!
Very sorry you had to go through that. Best regards...
“anyone who opposes”
What about children who oppose being abused? Obviously the pervs, and their supporters, aren’t thinking of children as individual human beings who have the right to oppose abuse and expect help in opposing and stopping such abuse which is what criminalization helps to do.
Grrrr...First deny the unborn as human beings and abort them. Next deny children not only their right to a safe, innocent childhood, but deny children their humanity by decriminalizing criminal actions against them, that would make children no more then objects or property to be sold, traded and bartered by the insane. Decriminalizing such abuse is totally irrational, inhumane, immoral, insensible and insane.
How did the insane and delusional come into positions of power and influence? Where are the moral who will beat them back down to oblivion?
