Where is the outrage towards the Catholic Church which has abused many more children than the FLDS will ever be capable of. Lets raid the Vatican and put the Pope on trial.
Oh I forgot, they are not a 'cult' so its ok...
Oh PAXIMUS...there you go again trying to be a voice of reason...
If you hadnt guessed it yet you soon will, this case is
different.
Somehow it tittillates previously dormant nerve endings until facts just dont seem to matter.
Nevermind that Texas CPS has a worse record of sexually abusing children then FLDS ever dreamed of. You will still see people screaming for the children of this "cult" to be removed from their family and "placed" by CPS so they can be raped and sodomized and in some cases even murdered in their mainstream American foster homes. Nevermind!
Nevermind that mainstream America practices its own brand of polygamy (serial polygamy) leaving behind a trail of ex wives/husbands and confused children. Nevermind!
Nevermind that the persistant rumor that the polygamist wives in the Texas compound were supposedly recieving federal aid was found to be
untrueand nevermind that there are millions of taxpayer dollars going in "aid" to a few already rich land owners out west to subsidize the wild horse program. Now there is a bunch of wasted federal aid people could really get gbehind doing something about. But no, better to leave alone those wealthy ranchers who chuckle over our mainstream niativity! Again? Nevermind!
PAXIMUS I see you here trying to remain calm and look cooly at the facts. I see that you grasp the basic concept that
a) If one persons rights are violated - every persons are
b) That the judicial process must rise above the fray of heated public opinion
I dont know if you are a man or a woman but silly PAXIMUS! You probably wouldnt have gone along with the Salem witch trials either!
Or the the decimation of the American Indians (more polygamy!) until their culture and ways were no more.
You probably would have even shed a tear for the Aborigines wouldnt you? If you were Australian - which you may or not be- either way, I digress.
Just remember, THIS is how we like our whitebread polygamy:
Sometimes a picture really is worth a 1000 words
Carry on PAX!
