Protection for young people will disappear

A recent TV advertisement of an obviously well-coached young and impressionable Eagle Scout professing the attributes of homosexuals prompts me to respond.

Waiting in the wings of the conflict among homosexuals, the leadership of the Boy Scouts of America and fundamental Christians is the North American Man Boy Love Association. I know it is hard to believe, but this group of nationwide pedophiles is organized and financed. They seek the same rights and status gained by the homosexuals.

The opening salvo was a study released last year by a prestigious Midwest university stating that sexual contact between children and adults was not that harmful. The study was lambasted by most prominent psychiatrists and psychologists as terribly flawed, which it was. Nevertheless, the idea of pedophilia being acceptable has its foot in the door.

This year, we find the ACLU ably representing NAMBLA. Gradually, they will gain credence and status through the courts and the American conscience influenced by Hollywood and its heavy homosexual innuendo.

The homosexual population comprises 2 to 10 percent of the population depending upon whom you believe. They are quick to point out that most pedophiles are heterosexual. The figure is actually about 60 percent. That means that 40 percent of pedophile crime is committed by 2 percent of the population. Do the math. The Boy Scouts did.

One never hears of the problems occurring in the BSA and other youth organizations by not keeping vigil against these creeps. Is there a difference between a homosexual and a pedophile? Clinically? Yes. On the street? No. Among the Boy Scouts? No.

When the man boy love organization finally gains its court pursued goals, I wonder if we will see a front page splash in The Herald similar to the sycophantic display of homosexual pairs a few weeks ago? Impossible? Preposterous? So was sodomy. So was adultery. The idea of unprotected little boys and girls being fair game to these monsters will be thought of as a rite of passage and glorified by The Herald.
