More ominously, "The ultimate goal of the breeding program, Wyler says, is to create the perfect race.
"Remember how Hitler was trying to breed a perfect race?" he says. "Warren Jeffs is also trying to breed a perfect race."
Polygamy often seems to have this effect. Supposedly one of the reasons that so many Muslims seem nuts is that they actually are. I recently read that some parts of Pakistan, for example, have a hugely high rate of schizophrenia (which does seem to be genetically linked in some way) because of the inbreeding resulting from polygamy practiced in the villages. This results in more people being more closely related to one another - as direct descendants of one man - than would be the case if monogamy were practiced.
Banjo Pickers!
Liberals, with their treasured, cosseted Welfare State, encourage polygamy. The girls who get pregnant, even though they have "husbands", are considered unmarried and therefore entitled to AFDC, food stamps, free medical and dental care, etc.. The "husbands" who may have 10 or more children, each receiving $600 a month or more, live off of it. That's why polygamy is so attractive to ignorant people - the government makes it a financial bonanza to those who otherwise would have to be ditch diggers.
I don't dig this poligamy stuff. I mean, isn't ONE mother-in-law quite enough?
The royal houses of Europe were almost as badly inbred as the Jeffs clan at one point because of their refusal to marry commoners. The result: rampant hemophilia, and in the case of the Spanish Habsburgs, collapse because of mental deficiencies.
But social class covers a multitude of sins.
What's good for the crowned heads of Europe, and for the secular liberal elites of the Northeast and California, is an abomination for you, me, and the hicks in the mountains of Utah and Tennessee.
Cue the Deliverance music....
