Honestly, I think enough of the FLDS members have figured out what this guy is about, that they wouldn’t buy that he was a martyr. A few loyalists would run around claiming he’d actually been murdered by “the Beast”. But the shrewder guys who are fixing to take over control, would realize quickly that they’d do better to spread the word that he’d been seduced by Satan. His behavior over the last 6 years ago since he became “prophet” has been such that the seduced by Satan explanation would be more believable and more readily accepted. He’d be sure to use a bloody method, and everyone could go away happily believing that God had led him to undertake “blood atonement”, so that he could be forgiven and romp off to the celestial kingdom.

Plus, I heard from a relieable source that the Texas rangers had an atomic bomb in reserve in case the FLDS got out of hand.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

Is there nothing the government hating cult apologists won't come up with to discredit the government's actions and defend the poor, helpless, innocent widdle cultists?

Yet another NY Times hit piece to ensure that Romney is not VP (they fear this most of all).

I didn't know Romney was a polygamist!

Oh my.

[ejonesie22]

Yeah, I hear he’s a Conservative too...

Yet another NY Times hit piece to ensure that Romney is not VP (they fear this most of all). Yet no expose’s about Obama.

Dude, take off that tin-foil hat. There is nothing in the article about Romney. This is not a hit piece about Romney. Everything about LDS or FLDS is not about Romney.

And, why, do they fear Romney as VP "most of all"??

Actually, under our Constitution, all citizens have the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Pursuing happiness does not include crimes against other citizens and that is especially true when they are committed hiding behind the guise of freedom of religion. If you think that’s in the Constitution, read it again.

You should refrain from giving Constitutional classes. Do I need to point out your error? Blackbird.

And if the women were complicit?

That’s funny....it is more likely that UT has FDLS members/supporters in government who support a shameful heritage of polygamy and incest.

Sure, go for it.

Show us where ALL citizens don't have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Show us where some citizens are permitted to rob other citizens of their Constitutional rights as the FLDS did to the women and children they abused.

Show us where sex slavery is permitted.

Show us how the First Amendment gives them the right to break the laws of this country and rape little girls and boys.

Yet another Constitutional Scholar chimes in with what amounts to nothing more than babble. Since you chose to interject, perhaps YOU can show US where in the Constitution this ideal is spoken?

"...under our Constitution, all citizens have the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."

I'll offer you a clue, it doesn't.

"If you think that’s in the Constitution, read it again."

Take your FRiends advice and read the thing. Then go on to read the DOI, where you WILL find such ideals. Class over. Blackbird.

Well, if they all were adults (over 18) when they entered into their “arrangement” then they have nothing to be concerned about (other than some embarrassment over their personal lives becoming reading material for the bottom of the birdcage).

I really don't care what consenting adults do, but when they start wanting me to pay for it it becomes a damn big problem.

This will make your day.

That’s no answer. IOW, you don’t have one.

Not unexpected.

STUCK...ON...STUPID, you are. Blackbird.

Like all Ron Paulies and the like you really don't get how all of the Founding Documents fit together do you....

Yes you are “technically” correct, HOWEVER, the Constitution is in place to protect the ideals set forth in the Declaration of Independence. Trying to treat every sentence and thought separately does a disservice to the ideas of our founders, and basically is meaningless. Such actions are in the realm of what liberals do in trying to parse such things as the Second Amendment and the justification for Abortion.

Of course I saw your little blurb the other day where you said Corporations don't pay taxes, something I wish were true, my partners and I would be several millions richer. Given that you are quite wrong there, I will take a minor leap and say being wrong is somewhat standard issue for you...

Yeah (LOL!), whatever you say "new" con-servative. You guys continue to crack me up. Blackbird.
