Acceptance of Polygamy Is at a Record High, and TV Might Explain Why
US News & World Report ^ | July 28, 2017 | Megan Trimble

Support for polygamy in the United States is at an all-time high, and Americans' love for TV may be one explanation for the trend. Gallup polling on American values and beliefs in May found acceptance of a person having multiple spouses at one time has grown in the U.S., with 17 percent of people saying the practice is "morally acceptable." That number marked the highest rate on record dating back to 2003, according to Gallup data.

The only question is when not if polygamy will be legalized.

The Mormons will love that . . .

At any rate, I suppose one subscription to a satellite network is cheaper than a dozen. Look how much money they save on their T.V. - assuming the women don’t kill themselves over what channel to watch.

I recall how the liberals and homosexual activists lambasted anyone who suggested that same sex marriage would lead to polygamy or any other changes in the definition of marriage.

While it hasn’t happened yet, I believe it will at some point. And the legal reasoning used in homo sexual marriage court cases will be used to allow polygamy.

On The show Sister Wives, each wife has her own house, while the man goes from house to house, spending the night at different houses each night.

Polygamy is about muzzies. Doesn’t matter if it’s mentioned. This is the truth. muzzies already do have 4 de facto wives, all of them on welfare. When it becomes de jure legal, muzzies will do a dance of victory and we will be doomed.

Of course television is responsible. It is run by people who despise Chrisianity, and think it a plague on the planet.

The see no need for moral boundaries, and see themselves as gods.

Do Americans who still watch network tv understand the definition of “Polygamy”?

Gee, I need to show this to the friends who shook their heads after Kennedy’s pandering opinion on homosexual marriage.

Libs just don’t have the capacity to think ahead . . . or think period, for that matter

If polygamy is legalized, polyandry won’t be far behind. What’s good for the gander, is good for the goose...

My thought was always that polygamy would be the next thing after gay marriage. After that comes radically lowered age of consent, IMO.
