"You know, there are male and female lawyers who wake up in the morning and are actually proud of being ACLU lawyers. But I think the majority of Americans view ACLU lawyers as people who hate America and who want to destroy all Judeo-Christian values and beliefs."

Actually, I think the ACLU lawyers are proud of the fact that they hate America and are proud of their efforts to destroy our Judeo-Christian culture.

I would agree - they are subversives, both politically, and culturally in America. Why don't they get the same treatment as the John Birch Society???

Imagine the possibilities:

4 men "married" to each other.

One guy and three gals.

Two gals and one guy.

Four gals.

Two men and one boy.

Three men and one horse.

It will eventually come to this.

How about we identify where all the ACLU lawyers live and then find a better public use for their homes!

Polygamy makes a lot of sense.

It is the natural way of things for a successful man to have more than one mate.

If a society tries to repress that tendency, it finds its way out anyway in the form of infidelity.

Healthier for all--society and people--to legalize polygamy.

[Torie]

Polygamy is really not illegal, since not recognized in law, unless it involves incest or sex with a minor. I don't really understand what this one is all about. If a guy can round up three adult women who live in his house to service him, that is not a crime - anywhere.

What's next? Will the ACLU fight for someone's "right" to marry their cat? If not, why not? Some people are born liking cats...

[paudio]

How about incest? A relationship between brother/sister (well, the list can be expanded to brother/brother, sister/sister, Ma/son(s), Pa/son(s), Ma/daughter(s), Pa/daughter(s), and so on)? If the argument against incest is simply for health reasons (the offspring may have certain disease), I think it's not enough. Afterall, in this country, they can be aborted if the doctor says there's something wrong with the baby.

NADINE STROSSEN
The Pornography Industry's Wet Dream
By Diana E. H. Russell


(snip)

---

How many ACLU lawyers does it take to screw over women harmed by porn? Try this one.

Nadine Strossen's OBJECTIVE in Defending Pornography is to destroy the reputation and achievements of the feminist movement against pornography. To this end, she dishes up the same tired old caricature of us as anti-sex prudes, pro-censorship, and in collusion with the right wing.

Not until the very last chapter does Strossen address the scientific evidence on the harmful effects of pornography, and her discussion of that evidence is a sham. Most of the key researchers on the relationship between pornography and violence against women (Neil Malamuth, James Check, Dolf Zillman, Bryant Jennings, myself) do not rate a single mention in her book.

I confronted Strossen on National Public Radio in February about the gaping holes in her review of the scientific literature. Her disingenuous defense was that she had relied on a short book -- which she described as the best source on the subject -- by her nonacademic pal, anti-censorship advocate Marcia Pally, founder and president of Feminists for Free Expression and a columnist for Penthouse. Pally concluded that (surprise! surprise!) "no credible evidence substantiates a clear causal connection between any type of sexually explicit material and any sexist or violent behavior."

In comments at an Ivy League school, the president of the American Civil Liberties Union has indicated that among the "fundamental rights" of people is the right to polygamous relationships

I wonder how long this has been their official position, and why they didn't advertise it earlier. I wonder also what other positions they have or are thinking of adopting in the future, but don't wish to tell us about just yet.

[tortoise]

I have far less objection (none, actually) to polygamy than to gay marriage in principle. While European culture has been largely monogamous for the last several centuries, it was not always the case and a number of extremely modern and successful non-European societies are still polygamous, though they usually keep it out of sight and out of mind.

There have been plenty of prosperous and successful polygamous societies, and there is nothing specific about them that I can reasonably object to. However, I've never heard of a successful society based on gay marriage, for obvious reasons.

And the tilt of the slippery slope is increased.

Destroying this Republic from within was the chartered purpose of the ACLU. When Bob Barr joined them, I spat in disgust upon reading of it.

Supreme Court Justice Ginsberg long ago came out in favor of polygamy. Soon thereafter, she was appointed to the High Court and confrmed in the Senate with exactly 3 Senators voting "no."

As if homosexual pedophilia rape wasn't enough.

Like, who didn't see this coming?

Don't post it when they support adult sex with minors. It's only a matter of time, right after dogs, cats, donkeys, cows, manitees... you name it.

Moral Absolutes + Homosexual Agenda Ping.

A two-fer, with interesting discussion already in place. Logically, polygamy has more going for it than same sex "marriage", since at least the relationships in polygamy are still with a man and a woman (at a time) and the children each have a mother and a father still. Not that I'm advocating it!

The ACLU is evil; always has been, and still is. The ACLU would lose much of its power if OUR tax money didn't support it.
