*yawn*

In related news, 70% of American Christians would like to impose Christian laws in the Middle East. I know many of the simple-minded here will accuse me of "defending terrorists", but is this study really a big surprise?

Although I don't agree with polygamy, it would be a step up from the social arrangement we now have. If a man desires to have multiple wives (all consenting adults) and financially supports all of his children, what's the problem? Currently, an unwed man can father multiple children, not pay a single dime for their support and leave the taxpayers to pick up the tab with welfare programs. Which system infringes on my fundamental right to property (the money I earn)?

If conservatives are ever going to win the culture war, we need to look at the issues rationally and be willing to defend the rights of those we may disagree with - as long as they do not wish harm upon us (as most Muslims do). Am I advocating Sharia law? Absolutely not, but we certainly need to take a closer look at how our government regulates personal relationships between adults, while supposedly small-government "conservatives" remain silent.

And, obviously - no 'poll' needed - LESS than 50% would like to IMPOSE them in THIS country!!
