The IRS (estate tax) isn’t going to like that idea.

What about marrying farm animals?

The only reason this hasn’t become a lefty “thing” is because there are not that many crazy lefties working on farms....

Could very well be the real reason for this 'marriage', and all the fluff about 'spiritual fulfillment' in the lawsuit just padding to see it through...

Makes me sick to read the article. I’m pretty sure I won’t be surprised by the content.

Honestly, why not? As a friend of mine pointed out after Obergefell, what principled difference is there between gay marriage and polygamy or incestuous marriage? The only real difference is that gays are politically powerful while polygamists and the incestuous are politically weak.

This all started with the Jim Crow law that redefined “marriage” as a legal contract instead of a religious rite. Once govt. intruded into this sacred arena of religion, it then progressed to a social engineering experiment including tax benefits and social security.

Marriage is inherently a religious rite, not a legal right.

And all of it is calculated to destroy religion. Let’s not let that happen. Remove all marriage laws as unconstitutional because they infringe upon religious freedom. Then, society can sort itself out.

There have always been and always will be social/sexual/etc. outliers. They are not a threat to overall society. However, these efforts to normalize and legitimize them are the magic bullet the left has identified to introduce division, distrust and hatred into society and break it down as a precursor to total subjugation. It’s as simple as that. Don’t fall for it.

There is no need to go into the weeds or debate it at all.

Ahhh...the old ‘slippery slope’.

And the left always says you shouldn’t be punished “for who you love”.

One immediate answer, aside from the obvious revulsion and horror which quite naturally greets this request for “marriage,” is that it is biologically dangerous. Any children produced as a result of this union could have serious genetic issues.

The "genetic issues" argument was always a fig leaf. We don't regulate marriages or procreation based on genetic issues: Eugenics went by the wayside as long ago.

The real reason incestuous marriage is illegal is the same reason gay marriage was illegal. It is morally wrong. But when the liberals convinced Anthony Kennedy in Romer and Lawrence that the government had no legitimate interest in public morality, they had to invent some other answer to the question "Why can't I marry my daughter, then?"

“If anyone here knows of any reason why these two should not married, speak now, or forever hold your peace.”

As a bolt of lightning crashes thru the roof of the church, splits in two, and strikes the man and his daughter dead. The Preacher says...

“And God has spoken.”

They don’t do this in the nations I’m told I should hate. I don’t hate them.

We are done as a nation. Sodom & Gommarh didn’t do the satanic things we are now doing.

And yet the leftists will scoff at the even mention of the “slippery slope” argument.

Recalls learning that Christ elevated marrriage to a sacrament. Was it a secular or secularized institution previously?
