Mike Huckabee, a possible Republican presidential candidate in 2012 says the effort to allow gays and lesbians to marry is comparable to legalizing incest, polygamy and drug use...
Huckabee told the interviewer that not every group's interests deserve to be accomodated if their lifestyle is outside what he called "the ideal."...
"There are some people who believe in incest, so we should accomodate them. There are people who believe in polygamy, should we accomodate them?" he said.

Name any argument in favor of gay marriage that does not also support adult incest and polygamy. There isn't one....
As for bestiality, animals can't consent so that's not a workable comparison.
I'll bet you dollars to donuts they are not against "legalized drug use" when it comes to beer and caffeine. Heck, I suspect that you'd be battered and bruised if you tried to get between the Huckabee family and their Pepsi and Mountain Dew.
**Polygamy makes biological sense. Homosexuality does not**.
Divine guidance and ancient wisdom for sexual constraints have been forever sacrificed to the fog of technology and self-indulgence.
Consider how we have misused medical science as it relates to egg & sperm donors and transgender reassignment. We are no longer satisfied to live as God created us or to pursue procreation to continue our human species.
How can cross breeding with other species be far behind?
Contemplate the possibilities for future CAT HOARDERS!!!!!
Hoist them on their own tolerance-and-diversity-for-all pittards.
Yep, the moment liberals say that they support “consenting adult same sex marriage” that brings in consenting adult incest and consenting adult polygamy.
Then they have to choose whether or not they will be branded as being what they call others - bigots - as well as being tagged as being hypocrites. Or they can choose to openly support consenting adult polygamy, for instance.
As I have tried to point out at other times, conservatives should stay away from the bestiality/homosexual marriage comparisons.
In polygamous societies, many males having multiple mothers and competing for the attention of the one father for some reason leads to warlike tendencies. This has been shown in multiple socities.
There’s no logic at all to their positions.
And what is civilization anyway but a way to harness and redirect certain impulses? If the idea is for anyone to do whatever they like, then maybe even toilet training goes too far! I wouldn’t be surprised to see a war on that next.
A lot of well-respected people in the Bible practiced polygamy.
No thanks.

Good Lord - every time I think of something so depraved that not even the leftists would consider it, it comes true!
Actually the OT is loaded with Prophecy, as well as History.
I think polygamy has sometimes followed wars, when males became scarce. In any event, sex has an obvious biological purpose, which can be served in polygamy, but not in homosexuality. Just because two people have an unnatural urge to imitate intercourse with a person lacking the wrong plumbing, it does not mean that society has to allow them to imitate marriage.
If I didn’t communicate just exactly that,
I need to work on my on-the-fly posting skills.
Ask them where the term “sodomy” comes from.
But scriptures show that man strayed from the original intent that God outlined in Genesis - one man and one woman.
Polygamy recorded in the Bible showed disastrous consequences due to the practice of polygamy - wives fighting and competing against each other, family strife, hostility and envy among siblings over who would have the preeminence, wives competing for having the greater affection from their husband and on and on.
Jesus once and for all in the New Testament said that marriage was to be between one man and one woman when he quoted Genesis saying that “or this cause shall a man leave his father and mother and cleave to his wife and they twain shall be one flesh.”
They will say that the Genesis account of Sodom was about the horribleness of the attempted rape (of the angels), not homosexuality.
Problem is, is that before the angels even went into Sodom, Genesis chapter 13 says that the men of Sodom were “exceedingly wicked.”
And Jeremiah said that the people of Sodom were prideful, had no compassion for others BUT also mentions that they committed abomination - homosexuality.
Jude points out in the Book of Jude that it was the ever constant homosexuality and lust among the homosexuals (rampant even in the streets) that caused God to destroy the city.
So what? Can't object either.
