The Push to Normalize Polyamory Begins
national review ^ | 2/17/13 | Wesley J. Smith

Posted on 02/17/2013 1:27:50 PM PST by Nachum

You knew it was coming. Scientific American — which often pushes cultural agendas as much as scientific ideas — has an article informing us that polyamorous people have so much to teach the rest of us about life. From “The New Sexual Revolution: Polyamory May Be Good For You“ One thing that seems to unite the polyamorous community is a real enthusiasm for digging into emotions. Honesty, openness and communication are cornerstones for polyamorous relationships, Holmes has found. “They’re talking a lot, they’re negotiating a lot, they’re bringing their feelings to the table a lot,” he said.

A quote from the article: There is an agenda here. Let the normalization begin!

One of my former professors at the University of Alaska Fairbanks used to talk about polyamory all the time. This was back in 2004.

It reminds of an apophrycal joke about Reagan and Gorbachev. Reagan asked Gorbachev, “What’s the difference between a Communist and a scientist?”

Gorbachev said he didn’t know.

Reagan answered, “A scientist would have tried it out on rats first.”

And so it is with polyamory, and whatever idea comes into the pretty little heads of the intellectual elites. When it’s a disaster, it’ll the fault of someone else who just didn’t under the brilliance of the idea.

This was always going to be the next stop on the gay marriage express. End of the line is the abolition of marriage altogether.

After all, it’s “unfair” to limit marriage to only 2 people!/sarc

Seriously speaking, I find it hypocritical of leftists and alleged “conservatives” who think marriage isn’t only 1 man and 1 woman to have any problems with polyamorous and incestuous relationship. Once mankind reject’s Christ’s clear teachings in Matthew 19:4-6, anything goes.

Exactly. And to replace the natural family with the “all-powerful, benevolent” state.

We’ve ‘normalized’ homosexuality, ‘co-habitation’ (formally fornication), divorce, cursing, hatred and misogyny (as rap ‘music’) and just about every other form of sexual perversion known to humans so why not polyamory? Hey, it’s 2013! Get with it, America!

I used to have a subscription to Scientific American back when I was a teenager in the 1970's. There's no way I would subsidize that left wing propaganda rag nowadays.

I suppose it could. Although, I think the left tries to limit it(so far, anyway) to “consenting adults”. Remember a few months ago when Hollywood director Nick Cassavates supported incestuous relationships using the same argument that the pro-”same sex marriage” crowd uses? He was just being consistent with the ultimate conclusions of where the liberal arguments ultimately lead to.

Marriage defined as one man and one woman is an artifact of Catholicism. Now that we are hastening to build a post Christian world, it will be discarded.

At this point I'm just sad that so many of these people fall for the lies.

It may be the only way the ugly libtard women can be included in the cycle of life.

Once you’re okay with killing babies everything else is easy.
