son-in-law wants to move to Utah in about ten years. Was told of the plan over the weekend. Am going to be watching son-in-law a little bit closer from now on.

The other 49 states, and D.C., are practicing what can only be called vicious, barbaric, hateful discrimination against multisexual Americans. They won’t get away with it for long.

All of these cultural “crises” are going to be of little note once “Obama” sets off the nukes he has in place, and unleashes the sleeper cells he’s been bringing in for six years. When the grid is down, the terrorists will die along with 90% of Americans! So there.

Next step, Utah files a class action suit on behalf of all citizens against the federal government. The suit would charge the federal government with coercion and First Amendment freedom of religion violations. Also, the suit would be for Tenth Amendment violation in using statehood as a carrot IF this law was passed.

Is polygamy legal in Arizona? Reason I ask, there’s a breakaway Mormon group in a town called Colorado City which is on the Arizona side of the UT-AZ border, and I’ve read that this is a polygamous sect associated with Warren Jeffs (may have that name slightly wrong, going on hazy recall here).

As to moving to Utah, I would do that tomorrow if I could, just for the scenery, and the people are very friendly for the most part. And I have no interest in joining the LDS or in polygamy either. Utah seems in some ways to be what America was supposed to become and didn’t, but that’s a rather hazy impression because I could say roughly the same of various other non-urban parts of the country.

While I haven’t spent much time in SLC, other large towns in Utah seem to have escaped most of the current malaise. St George is a really nice little city, for example.

Well that slope sure was slippery.
That didn’t take long at all.

Muslims want to be able to import several wives and have them all eligible for welfare benefits, as in England.
If you think that’s farfetched, recall the lawlessness of this regime thus far.

The headline is totally bogus, as the facts outlined in the article show. Technically the decision has nothing to do with polygamy, it just makes multiple relationships outside of legal marriage no longer a crime.

Next up, pedophilia and bestiality.

America is no longer a moral or Christian nation. The secular humanists have pushed aside Judeo Christian values and replaced them with the concept that individual liberty means unlimited and unrestricted sexual freedom with no consequences or responsibility.

Self disciple and personal accountability are not modern virtues.

Equal protection under the law—if they are not investigating adultery and “shacking up” they shouldn’t target this one group. I would be okay with more Puritan laws governing morality, but our society isn’t ready to jail or even fine those who are having sex outside of marriage.

Polygamy will be imposed within a couple of years at the most because, unfortunately, it does have historical and religious precedent.

“The headline is totally bogus, as the facts outlined in the article show.”

Yes.

“Technically the decision has nothing to do with polygamy, it just makes multiple relationships outside of legal marriage no longer a crime.”

And more so, any relation outside of marriage.

Which means in any other state polygamy was all ready legal as well.

I know, I'm just saying that the next push will be for polygamy and it will be a tough fight.

why shouldn’t it be illegal anyway seeing as we now see marriage trying to be redefined.

Many of us have been saying for years that if homosexuals got their agenda then it opens the door for all the same arguments they use .
