It’s Time to Legalize Polygamy
Politico Magazine ^ | June 28, 2015 | Fredrik deBoer

Posted on 06/28/2015 9:56:10 AM PDT by Timber Rattler

Welcome to the exciting new world of the slippery slope. With the Supreme Court’s landmark ruling this Friday legalizing same sex marriage in all 50 states, social liberalism has achieved one of its central goals. A right seemingly unthinkable two decades ago has now been broadly applied to a whole new class of citizens. Following on the rejection of interracial marriage bans in the 20th Century, the Supreme Court decision clearly shows that marriage should be a broadly applicable right—one that forces the government to recognize, as Friday’s decision said, a private couple’s “love, fidelity, devotion, sacrifice and family.”

The question presents itself: Where does the next advance come? The answer is going to make nearly everyone uncomfortable: Now that we’ve defined that love and devotion and family isn’t driven by gender alone, why should it be limited to just two individuals? The most natural advance next for marriage lies in legalized polygamy—yet many of the same people who pressed for marriage equality for gay couples oppose it.

This is the logical progression. If the sexes of the party doesn’t matter, why should the “twoness?”

The thing is, though, that as a practical matter most polygamous unions will feature one dominant male and several females. So that’s progress for you, setting the standard back thousands of years.

Then bestiality!

They've beaten you to it. Have you seen DIRECTV's "Hannah and her Horse" commercials?

I think all conservatives should get on board this train ASAP. The sooner we expose the idiocy of this cultural disaster, the better.

We'll help bankrupt Social Security even faster in the process, too.

Yeah, not too subtle of a hint, is it.

I’m willing to bet the fudgebacks (aka, homosexuals) don’t really want polygamy for one simple reason:

It allows the straights to participate in their twisted world of rebelling against God’s wishes for marriage. They want all the perversion for themselves.

It’ll happen anyway.

There is a deficit recognition of polygamy right now since we have men paying child support and support for more than one woman. Plus we have many immigrants who have more than one wife.

[[Marriage,” Justice Kennedy writes, “responds to the universal fear that a lonely person might call out only to find no one there.”]]

The lonely pedophile calls out, only to find out that the twelve-year old has gone to school.

Upon such logic, we build a constitution.

Do it for the children! Polygamy is a more secure legal structure for children than the serial fornication we have now.

Imagine adding the possibility of an elderly grandparent “legally” marrying an adult child/grandchild so Social Security or pension benefits to a surviving spouse get passed on.

Beastiality, yep I entered the threat to mention that.

It’s a given isn’t it.

I’m also certain the age of consent is about to take a big hit.

Plenty of Muslim “refugees” that we import to the US already practice this. Wives #2 and #3 declare themselves ‘single mothers’ and Americans get to pick up the tab for their rent and free food.

Pretty cool, huh? What a country!

He scrawled a pathetic explanation for his endorsement of deviant behavior as if it could inure him against God’s judgment instead of the failures of his moral choices.

What about same gender threesomes? If polygamy gets a pass the perverts will want to one up them. Oh yes its coming— pandoras box is opened and the demons are let loose. Hold fast to the Lord and godly principles in this sea of cesspool culture.

I'm very confused. I thought this was to force all States to recognize same sex marriages in every State. But it did not take the right of any State to not or perform same sex marriage. Am I wrong.

I should ask my mother if she’d like to marry both my brother and me. That would resolve all her estate planning issues.

Once the wedge is pounded into the log, each hit with the sledge drives it deeper and the log sides move further and further apart.

good point, Supremes can point that these people have to be able to do this under the fourth amendment because it is recognized in other countries.
