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.

A slippery slope argument is an argument that states that, “Though _____ is not that bad, it will result in damage to society based on what it will allow to be legitimized in the long run.”

Every time someone has the nerve to speak out against a society giving public blessing to a disordered behavior using a so-called, “Slippery slope,” argument, that person is usually subjected to public mockery and a series of case studies which claim to show that the slope doesn’t exist.

Ironically, the usual case study cited is Holland which, in the proponent’s mind, proves you can legitimize all sorts of things and see no further disintegration of society or abuse of children.

Where are all those stridently confident voices now that a recognized political party in Holland would like you to be able to have a threesome with your neighbor’s 12yr old kid

— and her pet dog?

A small group of members of the Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka, Kan., who have been demonstrating around the country at military funerals, sang “God hates America” to the tune of “God Bless America” and held signs that read “God is America’s terror”, “Thank God for dead soldiers”, “You’re going to hell”, and “Bush killed them.”

…Margie Phelps, spokeswoman for the Westboro church group, said the group was protesting because “Congress doesn’t have the power and can’t pass enough laws to stop the wrath of God” against homosexuals.

“America is doomed because she has institutionalized sin and exalted homosexuality,” she said.

Ahh, the love of Christ and a warm call to the healing He offers — delivered in the most gentle of terms by the most loving of people — rings out across a cemetery. (It’s too bad HTML doesn’t have a sarcasm tag…)

Of course, at least the context is correct: A bunch of dead people preaching to, well, a bunch of dead people. If only they were the only ones around…

It’s rather ironic to me that Bush (Who at least claims to be a Christian) has been forced to specially pass a bill to make protesting at funerals a crime — just to keep these passionate lovers of Jesus and their fellow man from destroying the hearts of grieving mothers in their insane crusade.

Isn’t it amazing how those who claim to know the love of Christ can fall so blissfully in love with the idea of savaging the broken — instead of running the field hospital they were called to operate???
