#SmartTake from Celebrity Atheist Richard Dawkins, Arguing "Mild Pedophilia" Should Not Be Punished, As It's Just a Little "Touching Up"

Richard Dawkins may never prove that there's no God, but he has proven that there exists a strong impulse in the minds of Leftists to destroy anything wholesome.

And by connecting his own psychological baggage with his politics, he's demonstrating my strong belief that much of "politics," especially for the florid, isn't politics at all. It's just a socially acceptable way to exhibit your Kinks and Damage in public.

Slut-Walks, anyone?

I was going to attack Salon for this, but then I read the piece: Salon is merely excerpting an interview Dawkins gave to the Times. I assume that's the New York Times, though they don't say. So they're only doing what I'm now doing. This isn't a case, a la the Washington Post, of commissioning a pro-pedo piece in order to drive Troll Traffic.

But then we'll have to see if Salon follows it up in the next couple of days with their own "Is a smidgen of rape really such a bad thing?" article.

So this is the next hill the left will be trying to take in the Culture War.

So is this now the Left's post-gay-marriage Social Policy Initiative, then? Mainstreaming pedophilia?

Do You Hear Me Now, Dad?

Daddy Where Are You? I'm Worried. Comfort Me With Your Thighs.

This just in: Man who has spent entire adult public life attempting a Freudian vengeance against God-As-Father-Figure-Betrayer announces that a bit of "mild pedophilia" did "no lasting harm" to his psychology.

This Particular Action Item Has a Pedigree: Via @gogman, this old, and worrisome, article from Der Spiegel, about the Left taking the 60s Revolution too far... right into children, actually.

The Left doesn't want to discuss this much.
