LaShawn Barber, a blogger and Christian woman, said it best when she said it may not be very Christian of her but: "May they all burn in hell". I guess I couldn't agree with her more. She didn't go into any detail. None was needed. To quote Maureen: "These people are super duper ultra sonic uber crazies."

Pedophiles to launch political party
Tue May 30, 2006 1:03pm ET
AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - Dutch pedophiles are launching a political party to push for a cut in the legal age for sexual relations to 12 from 16 and the legalization of child pornography and sex with animals, sparking widespread outrage.
The Charity, Freedom and Diversity (NVD) party said on its Web site it would be officially registered Wednesday, proclaiming: "We are going to shake The Hague awake!"
The party said it wanted to cut the legal age for sexual relations to 12 and eventually scrap the limit altogether.
"A ban just makes children curious," Ad van den Berg, one of the party's founders, told the Algemeen Dagblad (AD) newspaper.
"We want to make pedophilia the subject of discussion," he said, adding the subject had been a taboo since the 1996 Marc Dutroux child abuse scandal in neighboring Belgium.
"We want to get into parliament so we have a voice. Other politicians only talk about us in a negative sense, as if we were criminals," Van den Berg told Reuters. [Could it be because they are criminals???]
The Netherlands, which already has liberal policies on soft drugs, prostitution and gay marriage, was shocked by the plan.
An opinion poll published Tuesday showed that 82 percent wanted the government to do something to stop the new party, while 67 percent said promoting pedophilia should be illegal.
"They make out as if they want more rights for children. But their position that children should be allowed sexual contact from age 12 is of course just in their own interest," anti-pedophile campaigner Ireen van Engelen told the AD daily.
Right-wing lawmaker Geert Wilders said he had asked the government to investigate whether a party with such "sick ideas" could really be established, ANP news agency reported.
Kees van deer Staaij, a member of the Christian SGP party, also demanded action: "Pedophilia and child pornography should be taboo in every constitutional state. Breaking that will just create more victims and more serious ones."
The party wants private possession of child pornography to be allowed although it supports the ban on the trade of such materials. [Wouldn't the result be that they make the kiddie porn themselves???] It also supports allowing pornography to be broadcast on daytime television, with only violent pornography limited to the late evening.
Toddlers should be given sex education and youths aged 16 and up should be allowed to appear in pornographic films and prostitute themselves. Sex with animals should be allowed although abuse of animals should remain illegal, the NVD said.
The party also said everybody should be allowed to go naked in public and promotes legalizing all soft and hard drugs and free train travel for all.
I don't know ... I guess I could go for the train travel, but other than that ... these people should be ushered off the planet ... in a space pod, enclosed in a missile, I don't really care, but I don't want to be sharing my oxygen with them!
Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse... dun dun duh... The crazies have returned in their "super duper ultra sonic uber crazy mobiles" with a brand new plan to submerge the planet in filth and loosen everyone's moral belt a notch or two (so to speak...)

Mo, the super duper ultra sonic uber crazies work under the assumption that there are no moral belts. That's why they can't keep their pants on.

Things like this are the fruit of multiculturalism. Once you start teaching that values are relative, you open up the door to anything. As you say, we should not be surprised.
And as Chesterton said, people who stop believing in God will believe in anything.
