They’re being taken away from their own mothers and being reassigned while living in the compound. Is that OK because its *religious*? You’re condemning the government for doing the same thing you’re protecting in the cult.

I'm not protecting anything.

I could ask if you are saying that what is not acceptable for them to do is OK if the government does it, but I know that's not quite what you are saying.

Maybe you don't remember the uproar when Billy Jeff said the following but I do. I don't want the same portrayed as the "official" FR position.

When we got organized as a country and we wrote a fairly radical Constitution with a radical Bill of Rights, giving a radical amount of individual freedom to Americans ... And so a lot of people say there's too much personal freedom. When personal freedom's being abused, you have to move to limit it. That's what we did in the announcement I made last weekend on the public housing projects, about how we're going to have weapon sweeps and more things like that to try to make people safer in their communities.

I insist the government follow the rules in putting these child abusers, away. The next time they use the same tactics it might be you they coming after. Why? Who knows, they are government, they'll make something up if necessary. (I'm not saying they are making stuff up in this case, just that government bureaucrats have been known to do that in other cases).
