When the texas police start throwing FLDS members into ovens or forcing them to do labor, let me know. Before then, posters need to knock off the ridiculous nazi/concentration camp comparisons to what is going on here.
I have no problem with what the authorities have done here.
I think is embarrassment to this country that such organizations are allowed to practice this in the first place.

Polygamy is illegal in the united states. So is child molestation. So is tax invasion, welfare fruad, and many other criminal acts that these FLDS sects are caught perpetrating. I don’t care if they are using a religious excuse for it. It acutally disgusts me more that they are using religion as an excuse for what they practice.

Now, we need to shut up!

Sad to say, that people here are condemning the government’s actions when they are defending the same actions prepetrated by the cult.

The government can’t take away cell phones, but it’s OK to leave these women in a cult where the slave owner leaders take away their cell phones.

The government is being condemned for *breaking up families*, but it’s better for these women and children to stay in that compound where the slave owner leaders break up families by reassigning children and wives at whim.

The government is being condemned for not allowing the women and children freedom to go where they want, but I see no one condemning the cult leaders for not allowing the women and children to leave when they want.

All we hear is how bad the government it being and how it would be better to have left them alone when the cult is doing far worse and it’s being defended because it’s their *religious beliefs*.

So why is it acceptable for the cult to do these things but not the government?

Excellent Post!

Then you support allowing the press to see the conditions the women and children are being held in. I agree. Nothing to hide, no reason not to let the press in.

You have to be asleep to be unaware who it is that has been allowing polygamy to exist in this particular organization and others for years.

There is a fifty year plus precedent that is going to be nigh impossible to overcome and be just to the thousands of people involved.
