Sorry I haven't posted one of these in awhile, but lately I've been posting a lot of links and videos, and it seemed like empty bandwidth use if i posted them at FR.

Wasn’t Elian Gonzales here illegally?

You are spot on. This cult is ran by perverted old men who get off on sexual perversion and power. They are pure evil who have twisted the minds of too many people. A society who tolerates this behavior is doomed.

2. The idea being advanced that only certain girls (the pregnant teens) or only the female children should have been taken into custody is way, way off. Either every child should have been removed or not a single one should have been removed. If this ranch was what the state claims it was, every adult there was was involved in or knew about a conspiracy to commit serial child sexual abuse. In other words, either the state is lying or there's not a single adult there who should have custody of a child.

I do not buy this line. Would be nice but life is not so simple as this.

I merely pointed out that I wasn't so sure there was a big difference between one man having children with several women (which is supposed to be such a horrible thing) and the occurrence I see daily in our practice of one woman with numerous children by different fathers (which we are supposed to accept without seeming to notice). We seem to have a double standard here. That is all I am saying. I certainly do not condone polygamy and agree the Bible certainly doesn't support it and have had my own back and forth with Mormons here (I am Southern Baptist so you can imagine how that went...)

“Would the government dare to raid a Latino or Black housing project and remove the children wholesale?”

I think that is an interesting concept. There is much abuse that goes on in disfunctional homes where values of right and wrong are not taught. Housing projects for the most part have become nothing more then breeding grounds for antisocial behavior. The abuse that occurs in such situations must be horrific. It is interesting how the government choses to ignore that and makes the claim that people have the right to live alternative life-styles. But do parents have the right to live sexually deviant lives or morally depraved lives ruled by drug addiction when they are raising children? It only screws up the children, requiring government intervention when these children show up in the public school system. Yet no one can address the parents disfunctional life-style of government dependency with all of it’s ugly reprecussions of a life lived without any consequences, because after all, big daddy, the government is paying all the bills.

Now imagine that the local authorities have been just waiting for and anticipating any excuse to get into this compound. Then take it one step further and imagine how over zealous they were when a tiny unverified and unresearched crack appeared.
I think that there are a lot of people wondering if somehow the local storm troopers didn't figure out a way to initiate the totally bogus and fake call them selves. Local LE are the only ones in this whole situation who got exactly what they wanted!!! I hate the thought of child rape but this whole story started in a lie and has led to the court sponsored kidnap of over 400 children.
One thing is a for sure conclusion. the next time the cops in Texas knock on the door of one of these compounds they will be met with violence. They have made it quite clear that they residents of any communal living alternate belief system have nothing to loose by putting up a fight. The just found out they have everything to loose by letting Law Enforcement in the front door. They have learned that anyone can call from any location and tell a lie and then based on that lie without any verification or research that their children can be taken from them without any physical proof of any wrongdoing on their part. Should we all be very happy that the great state of Texas has taught so many of us so much????
