Polygamy raids

The sad thing is that the stereotype (pedo FLDS) was actually true.

Now the question remains if the guilty pedos will be separated from the normal prison population or not.

Now it turns out that the pregnant child was not in fact a child, the state still wants to keep her child.

Texas appeals court rules state was wrong to seize 400+ children from FLDS church members.

Texas was wrong to take 400+ FLDS children from their families

I hope they get those kids back to their moms as soon as possible. Smile

Texas held 18-year-old FLDS woman against her will until she gave birth, then tried to take her baby away from her.

state held 18 yo pregnant mom and tried to steal her baby

I wonder how many civil lawsuits the FLDS people will file against Texas for spreading false statements, forcible seizure, kidnapping, denial of civil rights, etc. Cool

It is good that some judges still know how to read the Constitution.

Polygamy in Canada (Muslim not Mormon)

imams marry more polygamy mommies

I'm sure Muslim polygamy is happening in the US too.

These women are not legally married because it's against the law. Many reports have stated they collect welfare. Some reports on tv have said some of the men have 100 kids. I don't know if anyone has noticed, but there are TOO MANY PEOPLE in the world. In my opinion, it is absolutely disgusting that one man sires 100 kids and then we pay for their upkeep. These women are raised to believe that this is the right way to live - and I find it thoroughy sexist and abusive. Just out of curiosity, how many 'religions' preach multiple husbands for one wife? Frankly, this is one messed up bunch of people. I do not agree with their taking the small children from their mothers, but I do feel that these people need serious psychiatric rehab from this cult.

I suppose the Pentacostals are just fine tho', since at least they don't teach their girls to be 'sex objects' (apart from that whole 'subservient to your husband' thing of course)...

Texas Supreme Court rules for FLDS families ---appellate court order that they should be reunited is sustained.

"We call upon the state of Texas to end this nightmare and allow these families to come together on the ranch and live their lives," said Rod Parker, a Salt Lake City attorney who is serving as a spokesman for the families. His clients, he said, "are thrilled with this decision" and hope the ruling sets a precedent that "will protect the familial rights of all families in Texas."

As the case unfolded over the past eight weeks, criticism of the state's actions grew. Conservative Christians cast the case as an alarming intrusion on religious liberty. The American Civil Liberties Union suggested that the state may have been acting out of religious prejudice by punishing families for their belief systems. And family advocates objected to the mass removal of so many children, including nursing infants and toddlers.

Here is my take.

The wholesale treatment of every individual reeks of civil rights violations. If we allow that, then next someone will think that the baptist elementary school is mistreating kids and seize them.

The premise was based on a false phone call. Who knows who did that. Could have been the law enforcement wanting to strong arm these people.

I think the LDS ppl are CRAZY but still have rights until proven there is abuse. I think well I guess I know there is abuse there its obvious, but you still need to prove that to seize a child. So if they can do that with search warrants then fine. If not, then they need to go to school and learn how to do so. Typical jackboot law enforcement and child services. Have you ever known a competent social worker? They make mistakes like this all the time. DUH..

Whatever religion you are, there is a chance they will come knocking at your door next if you open the door a crack. Some of the charasmatic circles have a cultish side to them also. So if someone makes a false call and accusation, then here comes the gestapo.

If you study the debacle at the David Koresch compound or with Randy Weaver you can see exactly how they operate. Koresch jogged every morning outside the compound and was in town every day on main street. Why didnt they capture him then? And Randy Weaver had a shotgun with a barrel one inch too short and they killed his wife and child for that. Get a life. The way the news handled it you woulda thot he had a machine gun nest.

Finally, if you look at the murder rate in the USA its about 60 people a day. Looks like we have more to worry bout than people in bagdad. They dont have that many there in a week. Do you ever hear about that. With current thot, if we have uncontrolled crime and murders, we need to vacate the area. So looks to me like we need to VACATE WASHINGTON D.C. hhahahahahah
