GOP Family Values at Work
Husted and GOP “leaders” sell out the kiddos:
Abusive priests get legal break
Victims of sex abuse by priests were livid yesterday after majority Republicans in the Ohio House closed a oneyear window that would have allowed the victims to sue for abuse that occurred up to 35 years ago.
Why you ask? Well the power of the church of course:
“The influence of the Catholic Conference is so much greater than ours; that’s what it comes down to,” said Barbara Blaine, president of Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests.
She and other victims said Speaker Jon A. Husted, R-Kettering, betrayed them by going back on his promise to get tough on sex offenders.
As GOP leaders met behind closed doors before the committee vote, Blaine said, “If the speaker wants to sell out kids, he needs to do it in the light. No more back-room deals.”
So the next time you hear a Republican talk about family values. Remind them of Mr. Husted and the Catholic Church and tell them to go to hell!
So what does someone do who makes a back room deal to sell out victimized kids in favor of big religion? Why run away of course:
Moments later, Husted emerged before disappearing down a hallway, avoiding victims who were pleading their case to a swarm of reporters.
“There he goes,” a man yelled, prompting some to give chase. Husted eluded them.
Is anyone else wondering why we are even having this conversation and why there is need for legislation on this? I sure am! How the hell did these guys ever lay claim to the moral high ground anyway? My hope is that strong Dem leaders will reclaim religion - something I’ve been thinking about alot and will probably post on soon.
There is no time limit on the damage that is done to kids at the hands of those they trust as spiritual mentors. Not 30, not 40, not 50 years.
