You were?
Hard to tell around here.
Too many FLDS members apparently signed up on FR to take anything for granted any more.
So these women are given a reprieve from their concentration camp like existence for a while and people are up in arms. These women are not being charged as criminals and they have not been put in jail.
It is simply beyond my comprehension that anyone would think that these women and children are better off there than free of it.
People can cry Constitutional rights and precedent all they want but I don’t see for a minute that this is what the First Amendment was meant to protect.
If I were in that situation, I would be GLAD for someone to come and rescue me, and I’d be furious at those who claim to be self-righteously more worried about their *freedom* than the crimes that were going on against me. What a callous, uncaring attitude.
“Oh, we can’t do something about them (who are in slavery) because some day it might, maybe, someday, possibly be used against (already free) me and I wouldn’t want to end up having the government tell me what to do.” (Never minding that these women have had their slave owners telling them what to do for their whole lives.)
The hypocrisy is mind boggling. It’s OK for one group (the cult) to control others but not OK for a different group (the government) to control others?
I guess I fail to see the logic because there is none.
