I always knew that the Netherlands was a liberal Mecca, but this latest event wins the prize. I'm sorry to say it, but they are now reaping what they have sown over the last 30 years.

Dutch Court Approves Pedophile Party

 

Yesterday a court in the Netherlands gave the go-ahead for pedophiles to create their own political party. The Brotherly Love, Freedom, and Diversity Party aims to lower the age of consent for sexual relations from age 16 to age 12, and to legalize both bestiality and child pornography. Even the Dutch people, who live in perhaps the most socially liberal country on earth, are shocked, and an astounding 82 percent of the people object to the existence of the party. But their resistance to this begs the question, “Just where do you draw the line?” The Netherlands has tolerated casual drug use for at least 30 years, has grown comfortable with both physician-assisted suicide and euthanasia over the past twenty years, and has lived with same-sex marriage look-alikes for the past five years.

 

What is the lesson for us? When a nation starts to give ground on any moral issues, it quickly gives up the right to object to anything. The Dutch should not be surprised at what is happening in their country, but there is still time to keep this moral drift from taking place in Arizona and in the United States. Now, more than ever, is the time to fight for marriage, family and the sanctity of life.

 

I can't believe they are shocked.  They thought they could have their cake and eat it too, I suppose.  Well, surprise!  It doesn't work that way.

This sort of thing happens all the time here in the US on the parenting front: parents give in and say, "Okay, you can drink, but only at home, and you can have parties here with your friends." where does it end?  Teens will push the boundaries, go partying elsewhere, try illegal drugs, experiment sexually, join a gang, maybe be arrested, go to jail, or worse, kill others or be killed, and then those parents sit back and wonder what went wrong...

I guess all we can do is pray that God will cause them to finally see the light.
