It’s Time to Legalize Polygamy
Politico ^ | June 26, 2015 | FREDRIK DEBOER

Posted on 06/26/2015 6:13:42 PM PDT by Duke C.

Welcome to the exciting new world of the slippery slope. With the Supreme Court’s landmark ruling this Friday legalizing same sex marriage in all 50 states, social liberalism has achieved one of its central goals. A right seemingly unthinkable two decades ago has now been broadly applied to a whole new class of citizens. Following on the rejection of interracial marriage bans in the 20th Century, the Supreme Court decision clearly shows that marriage should be a broadly applicable right—one that forces the government to recognize, as Friday’s decision said, a private couple’s “love, fidelity, devotion, sacrifice and family.”

This push has already begun is sharia compliant areas. Who of note has the guts to tell the islamists, “No”?

the ONLY reason I could possibly fathom that would make homosexual "marriage" legal is the fact that marriage does give some special rights, such as some tax rights, some SS rights etc....

that is TWO people....if you start calling marriage a husband plus husband plus wife or some version of that, then they are getting special rights not allotted to regular, normal people...

Already legal. With the Supreme’s interpretation of the Fourteenth Amendment, there is no limit to our freedom. The states have their hands tied now.

Here’s an idea: Let’s spend billions of man-hours and dollars passing constitutional amendments forbidding it. Then the courts can tell us to go to hell, and the Dems can light up the White House to rub salt in our wounds.

Well, the right would be there, just not exercised, in the same way that a single has the right to marry but chooses not to.

Why does the government wish to pretend that any couple or all gay couples have “love, devotion, sacrifice”? It’s none of their damn business. Talk about a childish fantasy version of life as an excuse for a legal decision!

So can I declare myself to be a Lesbian trapped in a man's body and still stay married to one woman? The self declaration concept worked for Bruce Jenner and sort of worked (for a while) for Rachel Dolezal.

Now that the floodgates are open, this is apparently The Next Big Thing. Those whose morals and reason are driven by fads and emotions are already being prepped for accepting it by the media and the schools just like they were for same-sex “marriage.” It’s anybody’s guess what the Next Big Thing after this will be...

As Ann Graham Lotz said, this may be the last call from above for America to repent........last call........before the hammer falls......

SCOTUS, POTUS, 100% of Congress Dems, and 54% of the country have just given the finger to God, telling Him that His judgment on Sodom & Gomorrah were wrong..........

He is very merciful and will take a lot - it began when SCOTUS outlawed prayer to Him in schools, He again was patient when Roe v. Wade came..........9/11 was a huge warning........this may be our last.........

If a Muzzie dude marries a male goat is that bestiality or homosexuality?

Government regulation of marriage has been taken over by the Pink Swastika crowd. Bake the cake or they will send government to destroy your family business. They will grind you into the dust as far as they can like they did to the former CEO of Mozilla, Brendan Eich. This is homo-fascism in action.

If we have a separation of church and state, in order to protect godly marriage, we must separate marriage and state. It is time to get government out of the business of defining and regulating marriage.

When marriage is a private matter once again, the Pink Swastika crowd cannot force anyone to bake a cake they don’t want to.

I’ll predict the scenario. Within 90 days...some guy shows up at a small town marriage license office, and asks for a license for his second wife. They refuse. He goes to court and locally loses, but challenges it to his state court. It won’t hit the Supreme Court until Oct 2017, but will be decided by summer of 2018. Polygamy will be the law of the land...they have no choice because of the interpretation of ‘happiness’. I think gays will be a bit shocked that this came up but quickly accept this.

By 2025, I expect cousins to be taken to the Court and be authorized to marry.
