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.

Most of them have no interest in being married at all, and if polygamy gets legal protection in this country than it will do nothing but increase the population among religious/ethnic groups that are hostile to homosexuality.
Yes, The possibilities are now endless.
[ 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. ]
Hmm, that is one way of sticking it tot he fed gov, albiet a creepy one..
That’s right. That’s just one of many good reasons for families to arrange themselves as “married” groups of people.
[ 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! ]
Suicidally cool...
And, the child or grandchild can still be married to their real spouse.
Interesting that the original Republican Party platform (1856) had just four points: 1) Opposition to slavery, 2) admission of Kansas as a state, 3) federal support for a transcontinental railroad, and 4), opposition to polygamy.
An animal as a dependent for tax purposes? That will be interesting.
4), opposition to polygamy., i.e., Mormons?
I personally think incest will be next to be legalized. Any scientific/medical objections can be answered with contraceptives. Besides, there is no requirement for civil marriage that the couple be in love or fertile, etc. So, if a brother and sister wish to be married to have the same legal rights and benefits as any other two people (or if they simply are degenerate perverts), what justification is possibly left to stop them None.
Also, this new right to “dignity” is even more expansive, open-ended and subject abuse than the old so-called penumbra of rights. Think: the “right to die with dignity.”
“Be careful what you wish for”!
“Progressivism”, the new communism.
Then let them sue and lets see the SCOTUS now say this is not allowed and yet their homosexuality sham of a marriage is.
what about dog lovers who want to marry their pet...........it will never stop!
Agree, I hope people now sue for this and lets see the liberals, communists, homosexuals, courts, and liberatarians have to say.
Sure they do - in the same way Obama and Hillary "opposed" homosexual marriage.
Polygamy is far more plausible - it's historical, it's Biblical, and there are many present examples which appear stable.
And, since boys are not being raised to be husbands, and since most girls want one, polygamy is almost dictated by our present circumstances.
The most amusing part of the story is that this is apparently all being done openly, without any fear of legal repercussions.
Now this is something our moderate muslims could support.
I'll just leave it that.
Plus these “refugees” qualify for all sorts of minority preference programs that are run by our government. Awesome. And they make much, much better citizens than, for example, white southerners who honor their evil ancestors.
This will be a much better country when our new Third World overlords, Nimrata Nikki Randhawa Haley for example, ethnically cleanse America of its original population and its history. Onward, with Barky, Nikki, Marco and Jebcito into that Brave Nuevo Mundo! Orale!
