There are no more moral boundaries in America. Anything goes.
kids out of wedlock, divorce and gay marriage. how can a country go wrong /s

The next leap logically, to meet both dictates is "Susie has two mommies and one daddy" or "Susie has two daddies and one mommie".
It's Alice and Wonderland logic. Start with an insane premise and you come to insane conclusions.
Nonsense.
If every one of these liberal pathologies, like same-sex marriage and abortion, were removed from the dictatorial Federal Courts, and the American people were allowed their constitutional right to vote on the issues, they would all be defeated!
These polls are designed as a propaganda effort to change the culture.
Sure, let’s have each ruthless billionaire hedge fund trader marry a dozen disagreeable feminists! Sauce for the goose, sauce for the gander.
Good article, if a depressing one. And I think Douthat nails it on polygamy. As traditional institutions are weakened and redefined, it makes it easier for each successive “expansion” to succeed.
If the law acknowledges marriage between two men or two women (as I think will happen in next month’s SCOTUS ruling), then it isn’t that much of a stretch to argue that a man and two women could also some day be recognized. History has a lot more basis for that kind of arrangement than gay marriage, to boot.
I give it no more than five years and polygamy will be legal in at least some states based on the ruling of an unelected federal judge
If the Supreme Court (i.e., Justice Anthony “I am the Constitution” Kennedy) rules in favor of SSM, the Traditional Mormons will be racing to the courthouse to claim that polygamy is likewise Constitutionally protected. If consent is all that matters regarding a couple getting married, why does it have to be a couple? Why not a group?
This all had to come with the support of same-sex “marriage” - because it isn’t actually support of same-sex “marriage”, it’s that these same people don’t really care about the concept of marriage at all - hence what the purpose of marriage is has become irrelevant in their minds.
Far far far more precedent in human society for polygamy then SS “marriage”. Once you break the mold of “one man one woman”, all bets are off....
The women’s rights grrrls won’t let anyone have polygamy unless they are given polyandry in return.
Or, probably, multiple husbands, wives, bisexuals, transsexuals, and whatever, all living together.
I want to know how they ask questions too.
For example, regarding unwed motherhood.
If I were asked if I approve, I would say no. If I were asked a slightly different question, such as, do I think single mothers can raise children without a father, I might say yes,, even though I disapprove of the idea in the first place.
I question if 2/3 of Americans really approve of single motherhood, based on just how questions are asked. Was it a push poll of some kind, in which they tried to get positive responses to liberal scenarios???
The philosophy that says you can screw anything that moves, and even a few things that don’t, will always be easier to sell than Christianity.
I just don’t get the argument against polygamy.
It’s just A-Okay for people to sleep around with no commitment or care to any children that come along. The single mom can always go on welfare.
But let a man commit to providing for the women he has children with and that’s somehow wrong?
And it’s all (wink-wink, nod-nod) when Hugh Hefner or Charlie Sheen has multiple women openly living with him in the style of Caligula but it’s wrong when some of these reality TV people do the same thing.
It’s all a hypocrisy of this society that will sooner or later have its day in court and then poly will be just as legal as everything else.
Or we can pass a Constitutional Defense of Marriage Amendment.
There will be no in-between.
