How consenting adults order their lives, as long as no force or fraud is involved, or direct harm comes to others, is absolutely none of the Governments business.

Nor is it any of yours.

#1...If you were consistent with your own view, you would stay off commenting on threads like these. After all, it would be "none of YOUR business," either.

Since you can't stay consistent with your own worldview (you "make it your business" to tell others it's none of their business), why don't you go export your double-standard nonsense elsewhere? Or just go back to lurking?

#2...Such a position in effect endorses three guys marrying each other. This is a pro-family Web site. If you embrace that, you might as well "zot" yourself before somebody else does it for you.

#3...Your position would be much easier to handle economically in our society if we didn't have (a) DEAD-BEAT DADS; AND (b) Government welfare economically rescuing all those strange "family" configurations when most of them dissolve or deteriorate...

IOW, as a taxpayer who funds that "safety net" -- and as a government that "bails out" these individual configurations when they fail...I have a "say" and the government has a "say."

If the govt wasn't so financially invested (welfare), it would have to take a more "hands-off" approach. It doesn't. It has a vested interest in not having to bail out configurations that fail at higher rates.

That's social reality. Deal with it

(Now go be worldview-consistent and go mind YOUR OWN business and stay out of the government's and the taxpayers' business)

How consenting adults order their lives,

When they start popping out illegitimate children that carry on their disfunction and become a burden to society, i.e. collecting food stamps and government health care, it becomes my business.

The FLDS fiasco showed that there is plenty of fraud involved in plural marriages, it's just difficult to prove. Most if not all of those plural wives were receiving lots of federal and state benefits because they were legally unmarried mothers with no income. A man with 6 wives and 12-15 children by them has a whole heap of welfare checks and food stamps, plus medical benefits galore. All of that makes it "my business".

The Dugger family down in Arkansas with one wife and one husband and 20 or so kids is none of my business because they receive no tax payer dollars.

Aside from that angle, immorality is a concern for me. I'm against it for our country as a whole. Take a look around you at what our country has degenerated to. It can all be traced to disobedience to God's laws. Yes, it's my business.

It says right on F.R.s home page what this site is about, God, family, country, conservatism. The very reasons I'm here, to express opinions about these things.

If this issue is not your business, why are you commenting on it then, just ignore the post?

But there is fraud involved, welfare fraud. over 80% of polygamous wives are on welfare. And allowing them to marry won’t change that, they are proud that they ‘bleed the beast’ (US Gov’t).
