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?

I would also add that in doing certain behaviors, you aren’t really all that free. Addiction isn’t freedom, being indoctrinated heavily in a distorted lifestyle is not freedom, or open-mindedness, but abuse. Giving a distortion that being raised by a mother and a father shouldn’t be the ideal isn’t freedom. Again, natural law was about giving freedom, not free reign of one group over another.
So very true, Morpheus2009. It seems the “freer” that we become as a society, the more problems are created. The type of philosophy of “if it feels good then do it”... what has it created? More divorce, molestations, adultery, teen/unwed pregnancies, abortions, STD/HIV.. the list just goes on and on.
“Men are qualified for civil liberty in exact proportion to their disposition to put moral chains upon their own appetites—in proportion as their love of justice is above their rapacity;—in proportion as their soundness and sobriety of understanding is above their vanity and presumption;—in proportion as they are more disposed to listen to the counsels of the wise and good, in preference to the flattery of knaves. Society cannot exist, unless a controlling power upon the will and appetite is placed somewhere: and the less of it there is within, the more there must be without. It is ordained in the eternal constitution of things, that men of intemperate minds can not be free. Their passions forge their fetters.”
— Edmund Burke
I would also add cohabitation, while I just wasn’t lucky in my dating life, what disappointed me so much more than my own failure at finding a wife was the fact that so many young men in their early 20s, peers and friends of mine could have married, gone through more education, or even both, decided to settle for a lesser option and simply move in with their girlfriends. I can tell you, plenty of these people in these cohabitating relationships weren’t all that free, a great deal being because they didn’t have a firm definition as to how committed their relationship was, and then it fell apart. I haven’t found many good stats on how cohabitating relationships go, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the failure rate for such relationships was worse than marriage, or possibly if plenty of them didn’t advance into marriage, either way, in addition to abortion and the others, I feel, based on what I observed, and have seen others do, that cohabitation is already a serious problem. It was pretty common among my friends at that time, and I can only see it being far more worse now from accounts of what friends of my nieces and nephews are doing. Again, there’s nothing that makes a young man like me more disappointed than the fact that people who could have done far better, and actually gotten married, at least with the priest’s blessing, or religious leader, if you will, are settling for something less. One of my friends’ situations ended in total disaster because he was not legally wed to the woman he lived with, he had absolutely no legal standing to see his daughter after they broke up, because it wasn’t technically a divorce they were going through, even though they had a child together. He wasn’t free to see his daughter, because he didn’t go through with the full commitment, what’s even worse is that he sadly may have lessened the chance of as severe had he actually found someone who also wished to make the commitment of marriage to him. Again, I am not trying to be judgemental of the people I know, I wish them well, and I hope they work to become better people, however, there were some serious consequences and horror stories from their cohabitating relationships at the same time. I wouldn’t hesitate to tell my family the importance of working to be the selfless person that makes a good father or mother from your early years onward. I also wouldn’t hesitate to let the kids know that it’s important not to settle for less than marriage, and avoid cohabitation at all costs. While divorce is possible, there are plenty of horror stories I have seen from cohabitating relationships myself that are also incredibly inconvenient to both involved in them.
The big thing about sexual freedom, is the whole idea is counterfeit. Life isn’t free without some serious restraints and limits on what one does sexually. Not just the threat of STDs, but also the effects on one’s conscience, as well as personal well-being too.
“I wouldn’t hesitate to let the kids know that it’s important not to settle for less than marriage, and avoid cohabitation”.
No truer words have ever been spoken. It is up to the parents to teach their children right from wrong. It is also up to the parents to teach them that their bodies are precious and special. Cohabitation is “playing house” in a way. You get to play “husband” or “wife” without the commitment. It amuses me in a way when someone will say, “Marriage is only a piece of paper... we can live together and stay together if we really love each other”. My thought has always been “if you really love each other, then a piece of paper is worth making it legal and honorable”.
Excellently well done!
One idea would be to modify the life appointment subject to good behavior. For one thing, to cure liberal judges of their weenings and leanings, how about this? If a judge is reversed in any five-year window more than X% of the time by the Supremes, he gets tossed. And we could address it personally to the putzes of the Ninth Circus in California.
Same thing for the Supremes: X% of minority votes in Y years -- poof, you're retired. Double black-mark points if you're reversed by a later Supreme Court ruling or by a constitutional amendment (like, when we take down Lawrence, Roe, and Griswold, and the gun-control cases in Miller 1939, Presser 1886, and the Klan-contaminated Cruikshank 1877 [that tried permanently to deny the BoR protections to all individuals by restricting BoR protections to federal cases, implicitly denying them for any case brought under state law], by constitutional amendment -- which would instantly, under my broad-minded and clever plan, throw double black marks on every federal judge who ever issued an opinion consistent with the offending cases).

Standard liberal tactic -— those who oppose deviancy are the problem.
Sounds as though you should run for office. State senator?
Seriously.
Have you read Travis McGee/Bracken’s books? I think that’s what will have to happen, unfortunately. If you haven’t read them, I HIGHLY recommend them.
Sad and sickening.
Aren’t you glad you believe in Hell? Don’t you wish everybody did?
Morally, these people stink.
Heck, at 66 you could probably drag out death penalty appeals past your expiration date. :)
Being 63 myself, I share your mindset
I forgot to add yesterday - Harry Hay was a card carrying member of the Communist Party for a while and taught Communist philosophy or whatever it’s called. I may have a link, I’ll look.
These articles are must reading for anyone who wants to see the background connections between the left and the home/pedophilia-agenda. Harry Hays is in there, too.

A very interesting development the same date of the post. My brother called from his 46 year class reunion, and ran into this particular girl (I recently told him about this). She doesn’t remember him, my other brother (who were about her age), or their friends in the neighborhood. Seems she has early Alzheimers.
WOW...
My experience wasn’t as extreme as yours. Unfortunately, many on the “Hot Teacher” threads would call you “lucky.” Keep your face towards Christ, FRiend. He’s the source of all healing.
There have been a whole slew of articles in the past few weeks about trying the normalize pedophilia. So I think they’re going right for the children.
