The case for polygamy (Why shouldn’t marriage equality apply to them, too?)

Polygamy has been far more prevalent than the recent invention of gay marriage throughout over 6000 years of recorded human history.

I don’t see how you could deny this. This ruling really opens pandora’s box on the family structure in the once great U.S.

It opens the door for Islam’s support of multiple wives along with Mormonism if they want to bring that back.

I think it could even knock down barriers on age limits for relationships.

It’s gonna be a mess.

And all is proceeding as I have predicted. And it took less than 24 hours for the polygamy people to start making comparisons and asking why they can’t have multiple wives? Actually, there is historical precedence for polygamy, unlike homosexual marriage. I have posted previously, that if there is nothing special about marriage being between one man and one woman; then, what is so special about the number two?

If the Democrats think an issue will get them votes, they’re all for normalizing it. So, no beastiality isn’t out of the question.

I don’t know if polygamy will be the next great “civil right movement” with respect to marriage or not. I do know that human nature is such that every limitation will be pushed, and that success breeds further pushing.

There will be many more redefinitions of marriage to come, and all will compete to be the basest, most vile forms of perversions yet. I have no prediction which, because I don’t have the kind of mind that invents that sort of thing. But someone does, and it will come.

Once you begin the process of redefinition, it doesn’t stop until there is any definition is totally meaningless. Goodbye marriage forever.

Barack Hussein Obama, Sr. was a polygamist, was he not?

Matt Lewis is confused. This decision throws open the gates to "marriage" between anyone and anything. It's a legal precedent for polygamy, polyandry, bestiality, pederasty -- any possible combination.

And his rather silly piece overlooks the real motive behind homosexual "marriage:" the total destruction of the institution of marriage itself. Reductio ad absurdam. The United States has "progressed" back to paganism.

Neither is paedophilia.

It’s your kids they’ve wanted all along anyway.

The gay marriage thing was really just a camel’s nose under the tent for paedophilia.

I love my truck - why can't I marry her and get Obamacare to pay my mechanic's bills?

Not trying to be a smart-alec, but not what homo marriage is the law of the land, polygamy is no big deal. At least IMHO, polygamy is within the correct two sexes. If you were to argue for poly-gay marriage, I’d agree that’s a notch lower on the perversion scale.

At least Polygamy is a natural act.

What is the difference a man having a wife and a mistress and Polygamy.

Certainly Polygamy will either be approved in the near future or we will se the hypocrisy of this ruling.

In the 2012 Presidential election where preservation of bible based marriage was an issue.

The democrat candidate's father was a practicing polygamist of a polygamy religion, and the republican candidate was a bishop in a religion where his great grandfather had practiced polygamy, and in fact left America to preserve his church's practice.

I remember reading in the local newspaper (some 15 or more years ago) about some guy here in the US who wanted to marry his car. The court he petitioned turned him down. No joke!

Read this and see how far America has come in fulfilling the Karl Marx (Communist Manifesto).

Obama told us he would change America....Rush Limbaugh said he hoped Obama would fail...Obama has succeeded beyond his and our enemies wildest dreams...We cannot lose the Congress and must take the Senate in 2014.

Pay close attention to the MSM and what they are pushing....rebut where ever you can...(remember) these Americans, 'carry' them with you always...Love and Honor America as never before while this fraud in the White House tries to move Americans to the left and deprive you of your civil rights and your United States Constitution....America First Always! Obamaphiles Be Damned!

Japanese Man Marries Pillow

A 28 year-old man from Japan has fallen in love with and married his ‘dakimakura’, which is a large pillow that usually has the face of an anime character drawn on it. The particular pillow he fell for had a picture of Fate Testarossa, who is a character in the anime series called ‘Magic Girl’.
