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.

Polygamy and gay marriage or homosexuality are equality evil and sinful to God...

God is Righteous and to Him both forms of immoral deviant sexual practices are forbidden...

I once worked with a man that had 27 children with six wives. How did he support them will he didn't. How did he put up with all the kids. he was a sailor. Was never home for more than six months.

We have Air Force member that have families in United States and Korea.

Had a employee in Korea that every year the government would fly his girl friend to Korea from the Philippines for his sons physical. Yes he had a wive in Hawaii.

The beat goes on.

Barack’s own daddy was a polygamist. His marriage to Stanley was not legal since he was already married to another woman. The little bastard.

It is truly amazing how a non-Mormon “knows” so much about Mormonism! I am 71 years old, and I was born and raised as a Mormon. While it is no longer my faith of choice, your ignorance (or perhaps is just your looney born again Christian mentality) of Mormonism is astounding! I thought as “christians” you guys were taught to be tolerant of others views. Guess that’s more bull$hit from your suede shoe “minister.” You know, the guy who looks and acts like Jim Bakker and has a wife who is spending all your money and puts on make up with a trowel!

And Barack Hussein Obama is an Islamist who’s god married a 6 year old and fornicated with her before she turned 10.

A mormon presidential candidate wins over an Islamist. And Barack’s foreign policy has been decidedly pro-Islamist.

Where in the Hell does NASA’s mission statement include making muslims feel better about their contributions to culture and science? Because they worship a moon god?

Well, marriage is an "evolving paradigm."

If you let towns get married, sooner or later they'll want more than one spouse.

Barack's daddy was Frank Marshall Davis. Check out this excellent documentary from WND.com.

Vette, I am a descendant of the Martin Harris Family, and was a salt lake sect "high priest" at the age of 30 ! Born in Idaho, grew up in Utah, rescued from the cult during the 2008 election cycle by those I call my friends now.

Perhaps you'd like to apologize before I provide proof for everyone reading this of FLDS/LDS "prophet" Joseph Smith's graven images of Baal or his Jupiter Talisman ?

14 year olds marrying in the pioneer west in the 1800’s is not as unusual as it is today. IMO, you can’t compare the two.

9 year (as in the Islamic practice) are a completely different story!

We thought our nation had settled the polygamy issue a century and a half ago, but this nomination makes it a 21st century controversy. Obama’s nominee for the EEOC, a lesbian law-school professor named Chai R. Feldblum, signed a 2006 manifesto endorsing polygamous households (i.e., “in which there is more than one conjugal partner”).

In my whinyest nasal entertainer voice, ‘I just can’t imagine what it would be like not to be able to marry someone I loved.’ /s/

I am not an apologist for Mormonism, but neither am I going to go out of my way to trash it or those that still wish to believe. Lots of people have left Mormonism but few take the time to trash it as you have. So I am not going to apologize for seeing you for what you are, a vicious person who is on a vendetta.
I guess like me, you feel hoodwinked by the Mormon Church, but unlike me, you fee some internal need to lash out at it, I don’t. Since it doesn’t matter to me any more, I don’t want to use the time I have left on this earth, running it down.

Romney is to 2012 America as King Ahab was to ancient Israel, 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 judgment ?


I just used that analogy this morning. If Christians vote for romney, it is no different than when the Israelites demanded a King like the world had. There descendants ended up idol worshipers. We criticized democrats who said they were pro-life when they voted for a pro-abortion candidate. How are we any different if we chose man over God's law? Are we willing to win at all cost, including our souls?

When polls came out that people did not care about what Clinton did, I was shocked. I wondered what happened to decent people? Then when he won I always felt that somehow our country would pay for accepting sin. Our morals have only declined over the years. If you would have told me 2 years ago that some conservatives will be voting for someone who is pro-abortion, pro-gay marriage, pro-gay adoption....tarp, cap&trade, global warming.....,I would have never believed you. Now I find myself preparing to change my party affiliation from republican to independent. It's like the world has gone crazy, and their are only a few sane people left.

I left ONLY after getting angry enough to go to the original mormon sources to prove some of the others here wrong.

Guess what I found ?
