If the mods on this site delete this topic then they are also complicit with the actions of this sexual predator and those at SDC and James River Church whom wish to publicly defend William M. Walker and his exploitation of children used for sick sexual perversions.

This your own Peter Herschend, the Holy Grail of SDC and Branson. It appears it to be the will of God when defending an "old friend" convicted of sexual offenses upon children and pleading for a lesser sentence. But mention the LGBTQ community to Herschend and his buddy Huckabee and all hell should rain down on those sinners.

Someone needs a hug.

Actually I think it was young boys getting hugs and much more. You don't seem alarmed, which pretty much means that in my initial post I accurately surmised the likely reactions of a select few of ya'll on this board.

Looks to me like a few posters on this site are less concerned about a pedophile supported by Pete Herschend than the children who are harmed daily by folks like these two. The one does the harm and the other attempts to use his persuasion to help an old buddy out at sentencing in a court of law.  That is complicity to reduce the impact upon the perp and disregard of the victims

I'm sure many Boy Scouts and Scout parents would cringe at reading Herschend's comment. Interesting he referenced the "BOY" Scouts when vouching for a man convicted of aiding in harm to young boys.

Anyone who is less than appalled at the conduct of Walker, Herschend, and Smart and chooses to brush it off as they go about their daily lives needs to check their moral compass. But at this point they likely have no moral compass.

I'm actually shocked ya'll didn't just delete the topic though and just stick yer heads in the sand...which is so popular these days.

In years past, this forum has tried to be mostly free of politics.

That's exactly how I was taught as an Army officer, and afterwards as a LEO for a federal agency (31 years combined).

My job and my politics have always been separate, even though I've never been shy about political opinions. Even now after retirement, I'm running for office for the first time, and the only reason that I mentioned it to my boss (in my part-time retirement job), is because if I am elected, I might have to adjust my schedule.

I love SDC. I'm not a fan of identity politics and virtue-signaling.

SDC is about a theme, of a mining town with a mostly-fictional hillbilly storyline, with some real history like the Bald Knobbers mixed in. Everyone, of every political persuasion, is welcome to join in on the fun without feeling that they have to subscribe to a particular form of patriotism, and not feel unwelcome if they don't.

As as veteran, as a retired LEO, I don't want anyone's gimmes. I'm going to get bold here and point out that almost everyone I served with feels the same, and those few who are "professional veterans" grabbing every discount and freebie they can get, probably weren't ever in danger of hostile fire.

I say that as a Cold War vet, never on active duty during a time of active hostilities (and that is a rare time period in US history).

Did I say too much or go too far? I hope no one here is offended as potential SDC visitor might be who doesn't celebrate taping of partisan political shows in park venues.

Thank you for that post. The one I posted was deleted awhile back as I wasn't quite so friendly as yourself. And I promptly left this board in frustration. But, I chose to come back and point out yet another curious action from a particular SDC elite.
