New Dutch Political Party: LOWER SEX AGE TO 12

Ayaan Hirsi Ali, get your running shoes and bolt. "Dutch pedophiles" spoken of as casually as "Dutch welders." It's pathetic to me how al Reuters will report this story so coolly, objectively, without bias but OTOH always use aggressive language when speaking of Israel.

This story is beyond disgusting and The Netherlands "hip" reputation for its  liberal policies on soft drugs, prostitution, and gay marriage is just plain evil. You can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig (unless you're in The Netherlands, in that case they'll probably want to sodomize it.).

(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.

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.

"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 daily.

The party said private possession of child pornography should be allowed although it favors banning the trade of such materials. The broadcast of pornography should be allowed on daytime television, with only violent pornography limited to the late evening, according to the party. [Only violent porn at night?

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. [why? why stop there? - Atlas]

The Dutch are sinking to new lows. Wonder how this will fly when Sharia becomes law? Oh yes, I forgot. They "Allah Snackbar" at a cartoon but will turn a blind eye to rape and murder. Run Ali Run.

NAMBLA will love this.

Sick. Utterly sick. The Netherlands are now reaping the "benefits" of the so-called "Enlightenment".

These degenerates would have done well in the later Roman Empire, "fiddling" as the Huns rode into town.

Maybe they can affiliate with Galloway's Pride party across the channel.

Still, being a member of this party is like being on a voluntary registered sex offender list. If things swing the other way in NL, this list would be a convenient way to pull weeds.

Moral Relativism - Political Parties Gone Wild

When is it a good idea for a society to continue to give a group of people confidence for their ideas and point of view? In this case - NEVER.

The party's program also includes ideas for other areas of public policy including legalizing all soft and hard drugs and free train travel for all.

Okay, free train travel for all - Now that's the ticket.

Is this the new Sodom and Gomorrah party? The mascot must be a pillar of salt. The Dutch need a Great Awakening in their land.

[Gurdjieff]

I would like to at to this atrocity that the public in the Netherlands did not even notice this announcement; the big press agencies picked it up. But this is a sick attempt to obtain publicity, in the Netherlands hardly nothing but abroad apparently plenty.
These gays are sick.

Freako Michael Jacko could have avoided all his troubles if he had relocated his Neverland Ranch to Amsterdam.

Democracy and a representative government remain viable only if most participants are committed to the Common Good of society, and take politics as a process of discovery towards a greater good for all human beings.

When the West began the process of suicide when it abandoned the foundation values of its Judeo-Christian heritage.

Politics have increasingly been redefined as a competition between coalitions cobbled together from motley collections of special interest groups. Without a commitment to the Common Good, one that necessitates self-restraint, modesty, and consideration of others in political programmes, politics degenerates into a taffy-pull between selfish interests seeking self-gratification at the expense of society-at-large.

This pedophile party, Charity, Freedom, and Diversity, will join other equally selfish groups in political alliance. Eventually, it will win ministerial posts in a future Dutch government.

It will be the end of Dutch civil society, although the shell of a nation-state may linger on.

De Sade and Foucault must be chortling wherever they might be.

A paedophile party in the Dutch parliament?

commentary by Bertus Hendriks

01-06-2006

A new political party which seeks the legalisation of child pornography and sex between adults and children presented itself officially in the Netherlands on Wednesday. The official name in Dutch is Naastenliefde, Vrijheid en Diversiteit, the NVD (which stands for love of one's fellow man - or charity - freedom and diversity), but it was immediately called the 'Paedophile Party' by outraged politicians and citizens.

The Foreign Desk at Radio Netherlands was soon inundated with calls from abroad about this latest addition to the Dutch political landscape.

RNW Foreign Editor Bertus Hendriks tries to shed some light on the matter.

Have those crazy Dutch gone completely insane? And is the announcement of the paedophile party proof that, in Holland, anything goes? The answer on both counts is no, but given the Netherlands' image abroad of being a very permissive society, it is easy to see why the misunderstanding could arise.

It is true that the country has a permissive society when it comes to dealing with difficult issues such as drug abuse and adult prostitution. All countries all over the world struggle with these problems, and nowhere in the world have they been solved. On the contrary, the international drugs trade fuels a vast criminal industry, while the prosecution of drug addicts clogs up judicial systems, and in spite of the enormous efforts undertaken, police all over the world are still losing the war on drugs.

The Hague has opted for a more pragmatic approach. It regards drug addicts as victims of a disease. Indeed, the Dutch tend to believe, for example, that heroin addicts should get help to escape their addiction. At the same time, those looking for non-addictive soft drugs such as marijuana should not be driven into an underground criminal scene where they risk coming into contact with hard drugs. So, after much debate, a few years ago the Dutch decided to legalise the sale of soft drugs such as hashish and marijuana in small amounts for personal consumption - and the famous 'coffee shops' were born.

It's the same with prostitution. If you can't stop the adult sex trade - with all the abuse, criminal exploitation and large scale trading of women - try to mitigate its worst effects and regulate and legalise it within certain limits. This, so the reasoning goes, offers women in the sex industry better protection against abuses by their criminal bosses. And so prostitution has been legalised to a certain extent and under strict conditions.

It is measures such as these which have earned Holland the reputation of being a permissive society. But this permissiveness is not without problems, nor without adjustments when things threaten to get out of hand. And so the number of 'coffee shops' has been greatly curtailed recently and they have been put under stricter surveillance.

But above all, this permissiveness is not without clear limits. Hard drugs remain off limits and hard-drug dealers and even wholesale soft-drug dealers are prosecuted as happens everywhere else.

As far as the sex trade is concerned, there is a very clear and absolute limit. Child abuse and prostitution and child pornography are and remain absolutely forbidden. The furore over the sordid Dutroux affair in Belgium has only reinforced the absolute ban on child abuse, also in Holland.

The ban also includes sex tourism abroad. Dutch sex tourists have been prosecuted and condemned for having sex with children in Thailand, for example. Possession of child pornography, either in the form of printed photos or images on a computer hard disk, is strictly forbidden and actively prosecuted. Special police units are busy trying to untangle - together with police elsewhere in Europe and the United States - paedophile networks on the Internet.

Freedom and the law
However, under the Dutch parliamentary system, while all people are bound by the law, everyone is also free to create a political party with the aim of trying to change the law. Even if it is clear from the outset that such a party will be hard put to win as much as a single seat.

The launching of the pedophile party is, therefore, not a sign that anything goes in the Netherlands. Rather it is more a sign of desperation on the part of a group of pedophiles who for years have unsuccesfully lobbied politicians to allow sex with children over the age of 12 (the current legal age is 16) and to lift the ban on child pornography.

So, the presentation of the party is either a publicity stunt, in which case they have succeeded, or an effort to put their demands on the future political agenda, in which case - as the first outraged reactions here in the Netherllands have clearly shown - they are bound to fail.

So, it is Ok to bash the Netherlands, but when you read that we in the Netherlands share the same disgust about that party and allso on how our democracy works, suddenly, it is very quiet............
