Gay men no longer allowed to be too friendly to young boys
Two of the more interesting side stories associated with "outing" of Rep. Mark Foley as a child predator are the carefully ignored fact that he is gay and that the Democratic Party along with many liberal newspaper and organizations are openly asking why gay republicans that are too friendly with small boys are not investigated and controlled. According to the left, it is now inappropriate for gays to be friendly with small boys. Where was this kind of thinking when the Boy Scouts were being vilified and driven from public property and for understanding the dangers? There is no doubt that this pervert was only allowed to remain because of the political correctness of our times. The republicans were dammed if they did and damned if they didn't in this highly partisan atmosphere.
THE ABRUPT fall of Rep. Mark Foley, a Republican from West Palm Beach, is about more than one congressman's sickness. It's about whether his colleagues were sufficiently vigilant in responding to signs of his exploitive behavior toward House pages.Nowhere in this article do you find mention of the gender of the pages or any reference to the fact that Foley was gay or homosexual. One would almost have to be excused for thinking that somehow being a Republican makes you a child predator.In backtracking through the scandal, it's outrageous that Foley was not confronted long ago by responsible adults in the House. His doting over congressional pages earned him a label as an eccentric to avoid. After one youth complained about "sick" e-mails from Foley, he was privately warned by House overseers of the page system to knock it off. It's obvious he didn't get the message.
I for one have learned my lesson from our compassionate friends on the left. From now on if I see a gay male be friendly to a young male child I will be sure to monitor him closely and turn him in to the police.
