Just keep talking, liberals... please do keep it up. You’re making the best case against your own cause.
this will happen eventually. polygamy has been a part of cultures around the world since the beginning of recorded time. it’s homosexual marriage that is a new concept.
Absolutely! “Marriage Equality” means anything goes!
And, yes, the target is the family. Satan hates the family, and his minions (leftists) follow his lead.
What's the word for interspecies marriage?
Its radical, anarchic individualism. There should be no social unit, other than the government And its been going on for decades, starting with “no fault” divorce and then moving on to living together and “palimony” to gay marriage to “any” marriage.
The thing a lot of people don’t understand is that you can’t have easy divorce laws and quickie, Las Vegas-style marriage laws and then draw the line at gay marriage or polygamous marriage. They all undermine the family social unit. We either take marriage seriously as a life-long male/female social unit that can only be broken in the most serious of situations or we don’t.
The SCOTUS has been really good at surgically creating new rights such that the general principles cited as a basis are not applied to any other case.
Simply ststed :They make it up as they go along, then cover it with legal sounding terms that are meaningless.
Two examples :
Bush v. Gore(2003) created a right to same sex sodomy under guise of bedroom privacy that does not apply to say drug or even gun possession.
Much more popular here: Bush v. Gore(2000) the SCOTUS stopped the Texas recount of votes but doesnt apply to any other elections.
If the SCOTUS (and King Obama) wants it then Lo and Behold it is done.
Anyone who didn’t see this coming needs to put on their dunce cap.
And the day after tomorrow? Achmed, his three wives, and their 27 children file for welfare payments...
I remember the liberals in Lawrence v. Texas writing that legalizing sodomy would not lead to same sex marriage. That was a lie, and they knew it.
When I think of polygamy, I am reminded of the “Unintended Consequences” of that sort of marriage.
#1 Affluent males can attract more females than less affluent males. The reasons for that are well studied.
#2 Women no longer will be looked upon as “individuals” they will be or are looked upon as status symbols and property. This does take time but history shows that this is the end result of polygamy.
#3 Less Affluent males, may find themselves without a mate for most of their lives or until they have earned enough to “buy” one.
#4 Families will try to concentrate Family or Clan wealth by intermarriage to cousins. Wealth is also construed as keeping the “Dowries” within the family or clan structure.
#5 Those males unable to find a wife through economic affluence or Family connections will turn to Homosexuality for relief of “pressures”.
In other words Polygamy will also lead to increases in the Homosexual community.
There is a slippery slope here. Or-more accurately-a yawning chasm. It is strange and wonderful to see a publication as blind as Slate take notice of it.
The way I see it, once we get gay marriage, might as well let anything go. Why not, it’s a moot point anyway.
Does any of this sound like what homosexuals are demanding, or else?
Of course NOT! To them. marriage is all about legalizing sodomy and dressing it up, giving it society's "stamp of approval!"
Same sex marriage is not marriage, it is a mirrage, as in mirage.
Mirrage!
It can be anything you imagine but not a marriage.
The libertarian side of me thinks “meh.”. Freedom means we have to accept stuff we find repugnant.
No, the ultimate goal is to legalize pedophilia. Sex with anyone, at any age, at any time including incest.
At least the writer is honest.
And Mohammed wants to marry Aisha while she’s six years old. He promkses to wait to deflower her.... a whopping three years.
Next thing on their agenda is to make it legal to marry your pet dog or cat.
Fine. Let us just say we are all married to one another, sort of a “commune”. Now we can move on to the divorcing stage.
