Perhaps it is good old Heshem. Hard to say for sure though. In TV appearances the nose was usually wrinkled up in what some might interpret as disdain for those nearby. I always reckoned it just stink from her upper lip.
Kelly on Fox gave Kohn multiple opportunities to shine. Apparently not enough glimmer. First Kohn, then Ayers and most recently Churchill. Kelly’s taste doesn’t go much beyond her mouth.

In today’s society a man is taking a huge liability by marrying just one woman. Most marriages end in divorce. Even if the woman is unfaithful and worthless she gets half. Polygamy is just stupid squared. Unless both partners are equal in wealth, marriage is not a good proposition, especially for older men.

From the article:


Back in the early days of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender movement’s push for marriage equality, this slippery slope to polygamy was pragmatically taboo.

Wrong. The gays and lesbos were quite happy to tell everyone 40 years ago how they wanted to change the definition of marriage. In order to destroy it, of course. ALSO, they were happy to announce they wanted to jump on children too.

From the 1972 Gay Rights Platform ( http://www.rslevinson.com/gaylesissues/features/collect/onetime/bl_platform1972.htm ):


7. Repeal of all laws governing the age of sexual consent.

8. Repeal of all legislative provisions that restrict the sex or number of persons entering into a marriage unit; and the extension of legal benefits to all persons who cohabit regardless of sex or numbers.

The horror of polygamy - the man and woman who stay together BOTH having to give up property and money to the one who left.
Or polygamy becoming legal, and long time mistresses or on again / off again relationships lead to someone suing for a share of the marital property, inheritance from the dead guy, part of his retirement account, etc.

Once they have ruled that marriage doesn’t really mean anything, I don’t see how they would legally stop polygamy.

I can’t see what the legal reasoning would be, once the door has been opened.

It’s just a matter of the first few court cases, imo.

And the horror of a state condoned marriage to an animal. If the animal is treated and malpractice is charged, the veterinarian will have to defend a lawsuit for significant damages for more value than just the property value of the animal. The state will also have to consider medical care for the animal spouse and medicare if the animal is left alone when the human spouse dies.

I’ve said for years that it would be polygamy first, then the pets, then the neighbor’s children. The naturalists/atheists say there is no creator. If no creator then no basis for moral law. No moral law means anything goes.

If you believe 2 people of the same sex can be married to each-other, then you have to believe one man can be married to as many people and animals and he wants because its all about how he feels isn’t it? It has nothing to do with God, or children(family), or tradition.

Honestly if you believe 2 people of the same sex can be marred to each-other that believe alone puts into question your own capability to be married because obviously you don’t have a clue what marriage is. Therefore you cannot be engaged in that which you know not what.

But setting that technical issue aside, if that is your idea of ‘marriage’ then it must also necessarily include animals and as many other people as a man, woman, animal, plant, or child can feel the ‘sensation of love’ for. Which of course is no more a definable number than it is a verifiable condition.

I agree, if you want to re-define marriage on a foundation of emotion, rather than God, children(family), and tradition then there is can can be no logical or meaningful bounds to that definition or union. The institution itself is thus meaningless and ultimately dead.

It should be pointed out, that people who define marriage in such a way really aren’t capable of the union for that reason alone, because you can’t possibly be engaged this kind of union if you don’t know or accept what it is.

That is like saying your a mathematician who refused to accept the concept of numbers.
