Why Liberals Always Protect Perverts

Will the Dems' health care Christmas Present to America be an improvement or detriment to our health care system?


When liberals are given the choice between acting decently or choosing the riches of perversion - liberals prefer perversion. And if protecting the honor, privacy, and even nakedness of vulnerable women and children is juxtaposed to say the slightest possibility that someone's right to practice perversion might be curbed - liberals will come running to the aid of the pervert. In fact liberals will go so far to protect perversion that they will actually enlist the use of potential victims to make the case, consequences to the unsuspecting females be damned!

They will say it with a lawsuit. They will say it in print. They will even brag about it in mass media.

Liberals at their core have no sense of true north. They can't determine right from wrong, good from evil, and in this case even help from hurt. Worse yet - they don't care. The hardness of their hearts towards the victim is not only apparent in their actions, but the mockery of their words adds insult to injury.

Hence why Geraldo Rivera would defend the concealing of an illegal alien's identity from the feds - even though he had been indicted on 31 counts of child rape, before executing three college kids in Newark this summer.

It also explains the actions this week of the New York Civil Liberties Union.

If you have ever dreamed of taking that fabulous shopping trip to New York City, you'd be advised to stay away. Because right now, this very minute, today...there is no law protecting the women you cherish in the dressing rooms of New York City boutiques, shops, department stores or even their hotel showers or bathrooms.

See if the owner of the hotel, the proprietor of the lingerie boutique, or the manager of any of the major shopping hot spots in Manhattan decided he wanted to drill a hole that allowed prurient viewing of your wife, fiancé, mother, sister, daughter or niece - in a space they would otherwise have reasonable expectations of privacy in - then he could do it, just for kicks, and there is no legal recourse you can take in response.

As long as there is no camera involved they can spy on your lovely's lovelies and you can't say "boo" about it.

This is why one lone city councilman is desperately attempting to change the law.

Peter Vallone Jr. had been receiving complaints in his Queens district office for a number of weeks about a pervert who had been ordering a bagel and coffee every morning and then parking himself directly under the train platform vent for the N-line subway. This particular perve had a thing for looking up women's skirts and he found it amusing to calmly eat his breakfast while stretching his neck to peep. Vallone's own staffers even complained as the place the man like to do his viewing from was literally steps from the councilman's front door.

Vallone began to research the matter and discovered that the man was breaking no known law in New York. Incredulous at this dismaying fact the councilman drafted a resolution that would punish such behavior. As the New York Times put it:

The bill would make it illegal to look at a person’s “sexual or other intimate parts, in other than a casual or cursory manner, for the purpose of entertainment, sexual arousal or gratification, or for the purpose of degrading or abusing the person being viewed."

Pretty straight forward right?

Not according to liberals.

The New York Civil Liberties Union (directly associated with the ACLU) issued a statement on Thursday calling the proposed legislation, "creepy lawmaking." Continued...

Democraps and grace
Democraps can't fall from grace, since they don't have any. There's a big difference between individuals' personal failings and a whole party dedicated to gaining power and votes by encouraging victim-centric, values-neutral parasitic lifestyles. Clinton didn't have the good sense to preserve the dignity of the office of the Presidency and step down. Gerry Studds, anyone? No one around here needs a lecture from lame-o socialist rebels-without-a-clue. You should be whining over at daily kos.

what about cheerleaders?
Item: The Clinton justice department
under liberal Janet Reno, prosecuted a man
in State College Pennsylvania, named Knox, for child pornography for zooming in on the panties of cheerleaders at football games while the girls were doing their routines such as twirling like a figure skater and also while kicking their legs high in the air.

The girls were dressed in what both they and their parents (and society) considered socially acceptable and decent attire- knowing full well that anyone sitting in the bleachers ABOVE the girls could easily see

So, why was it considered "child pornography" by the LIBERAL Mr. Patrick for Mr. Knox to videotape what these girls and their parents and cheerleading coaches clearly wanted (or at least acquiesced for) everyone in a public place (football stadium) to to be able to see-the skirts and panties. Yet, the girls parents became enraged.

Was that a Thought crime? Possibly...Because the parents and Mr Patrick were simply angry because the pathetic Mr. Knox was obviously taking pleasure from viewing something that a normal decent person would not find particularly pleasurable and which is routinely seen in public.

So the Liberal Deval Patrick, of the Liberal Bill Clinton's administration, did NOT protect this "pervert".

The Knox case blows your crazy hypothesis out of the water. The truth is there are just as many liberal prudes like Reno and Patrick who are equally obsessed with "perverts".

I agree the guy under the train tracks needs to be arrested for lurking in a special area to invade privacy. However, in public, we also have to assume some responsibility for our attire-particularly when wearing a short skirt. And the proposed remedial legislation goes way too far. I am really sorry that Ihave to agree with the Christmas hating aclu on anything.
