SALT LAKE CITY (AP) - An attorney for local law enforcement in two polygamous towns along the Utah-Arizona border says the U.S. Justice Department plans to sue both communities, claiming religious discrimination.

Lawyer Blake Hamilton tells The Associated Press the Justice Department informed him Thursday of the pending civil rights lawsuit against the towns of Hildale, Utah, and Colorado City, Ariz.

We Inmans have been warning you for years about this. When you dance with the devil, the devil don't change, the devil changes you.

Prepare to defend polygamy to protect your cult leader in the runup to 2012 elections.

Me, I'm voting for George Washington.

You know what, federal dimwits? You’ve condoning perverts marrying perverts-—and what exactly are the moral grounds you’re standing on now to demonize polygamy? Why don’t you just go ahead and sign the witness sections on their marriage certificates. Maybe in the mean time, you can perform a marriage ceremony for goats too.

Your maggots in the White House and “pals” have opened the floodgate. Rejoice in your change.

In Hildale, if you dress like an extra for Little House on the Prarie, no one will give you a second glance.

Who is the government to decide who loves who and who can marry whom or whomens?

Wait....

Destruction of the family and easy target ....

When anyone defends gay marriage to me I always tell them, I agree as long as Polygamy is allowed too. After all, its only fair. That shuts them up right then and there.

And I am serious. If we are going to allow gay marriage then we should allow polygamay too. The premise for supporting gay marriage is the same premise for supporting polygamy. This includes gay polygamy, incestuous polygamy, and bestial polygamy....why not include the family cat and dog too?

Do you suppose that they will go after the Somali immigrant communities in Maine and Minnesota where Islamic polygamy is practiced?

(And group marriage, too...Not just one man married to x of others...but a woman could be married to many men...or 5 men and 4 women mix-and-match ‘em...and some people love their pets more than any human being...and evolution tells us we’re animals, too...so why stop @ human beings...?)

I don’t see the point of harrassing polygamists. We don’t have to recognize their marriages, but leave them alone, they’re not hurting us. This is ridiculous, Federal law enforcement has nothing better to do than this!

Same founding prophets, same scriptures, same worship of multiple gods, same occult temple ceremonies, same preferred presidential candidate.

FLDS / LDS SAME SAME SAME !!

Now we'll have the MSM headlining a federal lawsuit of this nutjob cultshow right during election season.

Mitt Romney, Obama's opponent of choice.

They ARE hurting us.

They are practicing what they term ‘bleeding the beast’ which is collecting welfare and every benefit they can for the many, many children while the ‘father’ doesn’t have to support any of them. We do.

Get a DNA bank going and make them pay for their children.

Appears to be part of the Presidential re-election campaign. At this point, nothing matters more to this Administration than re-election. Expect more.

A man with 2 wives is more normal than two men marrying. They should sue the town of San Francisco.

The primary reason in todays world is the way in which the welfare and child support laws work.

It is common in the Ploy communities to “skirt” around the law to gain more .gov support

Well, let's see...Joseph Smith coerced a 14 yo into "marrying" him...

Warren Jeffs essentially did the same thing...only more and younger...

All in the name of the same Mormon god...

Don't give us any spiel that Mormon mainstreamers are all that distinct from fundamentalist Mormons...They all are obeying the same Mormon god giving the same Mormon "revelation" -- Doctrine & Covenants 132 -- which no Mormon group has taken off "the books."

All of the Mormon groups recognize and claim they practice eternal polygamy. If you get married in the mainstream Mormon temple to more than one wife (sequentially, like when you are a widower), the expectation is that you'll become an eternal polygamist upon death.

So who are mainstream Mormons to frown on -- and look down on -- Mormon polygamists who are just practicing their polygamy a wee bit earlier than general authorities and others in the mainstream Mormon church?

Besides...mainstream Mormons believe ALL their early leaders -- all those polygamous Mormon "prophets" who practiced polygamy until their very first monogamous "prophet" (not til 1945) ... are all STILL practicing polygamists in the celestial kingdom.

Can you say Mormon ambiguity??? Mormon duplicity? Mormon PRism on the one hand -- and wink-wink, nod-nod -- on the other?

Lets not forget that the little girl is only 12 years old...

the same age as one of the victims of Joey Smith...

He demanded a girl give into his lust when she was only 12

He kept after her until she was 14 or 15 and then she became one of his “wives” just like Warren Jeffs had...

Joey Smith was no different than Warren Jeffs...

and worse...

Ah, I see we have a "don't-ask-don't tell" type in our midst.

Polygamists who discriminate in their home-boy districts? (Don't ask, don't tell)

Gays in the military? (Don't ask, don't tell)

Homosexual "marriage"? (Don't ask, don't tell)

Group marriage? (Don't ask, don't tell)

They also turn little girls into slaves and young boys out onto the road, basically kick them out of town at an early age. Don't want too many swinging sausages to compete with the old men who run the place.

They are disgusting and I have no sympathy with them and the law is the law and even if we're living in a day and age when worse perversion is getting publicly hero-worshipped, I'm still glad to see these cockroaches stepped on.

No one can say we didn't warn them. The Obama machine is just getting started on all the various sects of mormonism....And defeating Mitt by shaming Christians into not voting for him will be as easy as shooting fish in a barrel.

I for one hope that no Christian will vote for Romney, as he is a Baal and Jupiter worshipping cult leader, and such a vote would be "Having another god before God."

Romney is to 2012 America as King Ahab was to ancient Isreal, except that WE AS A NATION MIGHT ELECT ROMNEY....And if we mock and anger God by doing that, who will we pray to for mercy during his judgement ?
