And Mark Green is such a douche nozzle
Former Democratic Mayoral Candidate Mark Green equated gunowners to child molesters on MSNBC. Green said he believes there should be a registry where people can go to see if their neighbor is a gun owner, just as “Megan’s Law” allows for individuals to see if there is a convicted sex offender living in their neighborhood.
Like I said, there are some times when words do not relay my true feelings, for such a time, I resort to pictures
Fritz is blogging today about Gawker defending the indefensible
An article in the liberal Gawker attempts to normalize pedophiles: Born This Way: Sympathy and Science for Those Who Want to Have Sex with Children
Imagine a world in which admitting your attraction to busty women or tall men led to alienation, jail time, or your murder. Older gay men can probably remember such an era, but nowadays most sexual appetites have been mainstreamed to the point of banality. Pedophiles, for obvious reasons, don’t enjoy the same kind of tolerance, and thus it seems as if they may be locked forever in a sexual prison from the moment they’re born….
No, I do not wish to imagine such a world, who the Hell would? Attraction between adults is natural, and normal, and quite necessary for the species to continue. Teens being attracted to each other is normal as well. An adult looking at a teen and saying they are handsome, or pretty, nothing wrong there either. But an adult, looking at a child and wanting to have sex with them? Not normal, not healthy, and no rational person would argue that it is.
The old adage is that the true mark of a society is how it treats the weakest in its ranks. Blacks, women, Latinos, gays and lesbians, and others are still in no way on wholly equal footing in America. But they’re also not nearly as lowly and cursed as men attracted to children. One imagines that if Jesus ever came to Earth, he’d embrace the poor, the blind, the lepers, and, yes, the pedophiles. As a self-professed “progressive,” when I think of the world I’d like to live in, I like to imagine that one day I’d be OK with a man like Terry moving next door to me and my children. I like to think that I could welcome him in for dinner, break bread with him, and offer him the same blessings he’s offered me time and again. And what hurts to admit, even knowing all I know now, is that I’m not positive I could do that.
That last part is what really gets me. What kind of fool would ever allow a pedophile near their children? Frankly, that is simply NOT normal. The normal reaction to such an idea for a parent would be, Hell no! Even if you truly believed that such a person might have changed, the risk to your child would disallow any parent to even weigh the option. There is a line between forgiveness and stupidity, any parent who could pen such gibberish has clearly crossed that line. To be brutally clear here, the author of this piece Cord Jefferson, is so morally retarded that they long for a world where a “reformed” child molester might be welcomed in their home, near their kids? I guess it might be OK if they were truly “reformed” but sorry, some actions are so heinous as to preclude the perpetrator ever being trusted again. Of course, to expect a Liberal to grasp that is beyond hope I guess.
The details of what “Terry” the Pedophile did, with a seven-year-old girl, are at the link, I refuse to publish that here. It is graphic, and extremely disturbing, in fact, it is fair to say the acts “Terry” committed were evil. And “Terry” ought never be allowed near any child again.
Whatever he suffers, it will pale in comparison to the atrocities he committed!
BELLEFONTE, Pa. (CBS/AP) —The jury in Jerry Sandusky’s child sex abuse trial has found him “guilty” on 45 counts and “not guilty” on three counts. His bail has been revoked and he will be sent to the Center County Correctional Facility.
The 68-year-old former Penn State assistant football coach fought 48 counts that accused him of abusing 10 boys over 15 years.
The jury announced the verdict sometime after 9:45 p.m.
The courtroom was closed by the time the jury and attorneys assembled for the verdict, and no one was be allowed to leave until court until it was adjourned, the judge said in a court order earlier in the week. The verdict was read count by count. Media was barred from transmitting any results of the verdict until adjournment, with the judge promising sanctions for any reporter or media organization violating his order.
Via ESPN, sad news
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — Joe Paterno, the longtime Penn State coach who won more games than anyone in major college football but was fired amid a child sex abuse scandal that scarred his reputation for winning with integrity, died Sunday. He was 85.
His family released a statement Sunday morning to announce his death: “His loss leaves a void in our lives that will never be filled.”
“He died as he lived,” the statement said. “He fought hard until the end, stayed positive, thought only of others and constantly reminded everyone of how blessed his life had been. His ambitions were far reaching, but he never believed he had to leave this Happy Valley to achieve them. He was a man devoted to his family, his university, his players and his community.”
Joe Paterno, the man who for decades was synonymous with Penn State football and was known by the college football world as just “JoePa”, has died, according to Penn State student website Onward State. Onward State is reporting that the Penn State players were notified of Paterno’s passing via email. Paterno, 85, had been receiving chemotherapy as part of his treatment for lung cancer.
However, Paterno family spokesperson Dan McGinn told a New York Times reporter that the report is “absolutely not true.”
Paterno was the head coach of Penn State for 46 seasons before being fired in November as his role in the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal came under greater scrutiny. Combined with the time he spent as an assistant, Paterno spent a total of 61 years on the Penn State sidelines. He left behind a legacy that, on the field of play, was unparalleled in Division I football. Paterno holds the all-time Division I record for football coaching wins with a 409-136-3 record, and he won two national championships while going undefeated in five different seasons.
According to ESPN Paterno is in serious condition
Joe Paterno, Division I’s all-time winningest coach who was fired by Penn State in November, has experienced further complications from treatment from lung cancer and is in serious condition, a family spokesman said in a statement Saturday.
“Over the last few days Joe Paterno has experienced further health complications,” the spokesman said Saturday. “His doctors have now characterized his status as serious. His family will have no comment on the situation and asks that their privacy be respected during this difficult time.”
The outlook is not good it seems, let us hope Joe Pa can rally. Here is what CBS Sports has now
Penn State student website Onward State has reported that Penn State players were notified of longtime head coach Joe Paterno‘s passing via email, and CBSSports.com went on this report. Paterno, 85, had been receiving chemotherapy as part of his treatment for lung cancer.
However, Paterno family spokesperson Dan McGinn told a New York Times reporter that the report of Paterno’s demise is “absolutely not true,” and Jay Paterno tweeted that his father “continues to fight.“
