Perkins uses Foley affair to call for more Fascism...

"agressive policing" and "sexual restraints"--i'm sure he'll find the latter in Foley's DC apartment


http://releases.usnewswire.com/GetRelease.asp?id=73618

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2 /U.S. Newswire/ -- In response to the events surrounding the resignation of Congressman Mark Foley (R- Fla.), Family Research Council (FRC) President Tony Perkins released the following statement:

"We are all shocked by this spectacle of aberrant sexual behavior, but we shouldn't be. This is the end result of a society that rejects sexual restraints in the name of diversity. When a 16-year-old boy is not safe from sexual solicitation from an elected representative of the people, we should question the moral direction of our nation. If our children aren't safe in the halls of Congress, where are they safe? Maybe it's time to question: when is tolerance just an excuse for permissiveness?

"Both political parties need to be more serious about protecting children from sexual predators. We need public policy in our country that protects marriage, respects parental authority and aggressively polices boundaries around our children."

5. Perkins is just 'gay-bashing' again. That's how he can connect marriage
and respect for 'parental authority' into this. I notice he has nothing to say about America's glorification of weapons of death. Where is his condemnation of our love of guns and WMDs or doesn't he know about the Amish school shootings? And by the way, why have the last two killers within our schools been only interested in eliminating females. Could our 'society' possibly be a tad misogynic (as preached by certain fundamental churches)?
