Utah Judge: Polygamy Ban is Unconstitutional

Posted by Brian

When you have breached the firewalls, where does it stop?

Remember when those on the left said that it was fear-mongering to even suggest that same-sex marriage would open the door to polygamy, polyamory (group marriage), bestiality, and other practices outside of traditional marriage?  There were those of us who saw this as the logical extension of what the left is doing.  They want to destroy the institutions and fundamental traditions that have made America the greatest country on the planet. The problem is, is that many Americans just can't comprehend how sick the leftist mind really is, and refuse to believe that anyone could have those motives.
Islam has a practice called taqiya, which states it is okay to deceive someone if it helps to further the islamic faith. Leftists have learned well from islamists and other immoral societies throughout history, and practice the same thing to further their religion of liberalism.
This is why it is foolish to enter into "good faith" negotiations with today's liberals and statists. They engage in their own version of taqiya, practicing a "by any means necessary" playbook to further their agenda. Lying, cheating, and deceiving are all acceptable to these leftists.  One need look no further than ObamaCare to see this.  Obama, Pelosi, Reid, and the rest of the Democrats and leftists knew they couldn't be honest with the American people about what was in the bill, or how it would negatively affect them.  They certainly couldn't admit that the whole thing was an elaborate plan to redistribute wealth.  The American people wouldn't have supported it.  It is why Nancy Pelosi was out there saying that they needed "to pass it, so you can see what's in it".
It's the same thing with this.  American's would not go along with gay marriage if they know that, for the leftists, its just a first step toward polygamy, polyamory, and the deconstruction and shredding of the moral fabric has made this country a shining example to the rest of the world for over 200 years.


Polygamy advocate groups hail judge's ruling in Utah
Published December 15, 2013Associated Press

Advocacy groups for polygamy and individual liberties on Saturday hailed a federal judge's ruling that key parts of Utah's polygamy laws are unconstitutional, saying it will remove the threat of arrest for those families.

U.S. District Judge Clark Waddoups said in the decision handed down Friday that a provision in Utah law forbidding cohabitation with another person violated the First Amendment right of freedom of religion.

Critics Call 4th Of July Obama Parody Float Racist



Posted by Brian
A parade float in Huntsville, Utah, which depicted President Obama, and had statements regarding Eric Holder and the "Fast and Furious" scandal, has people shouting "racist".

While some may say this was not the proper 'venue', or that it was in poor taste, this is not the first float entry that has been entered into this parade in which a political or public figure has been mocked.  Both Bill Clinton and George W. Bush have had parody floats in this parade, as have Michael Jackson and others.  What is different about this one is the stir it has created.

2004 Parade in Berkely, CA - Strangely enough, I don't remember the uproar over calling Bush a terrorist. HMMM...


Apparently, any criticism of Barack Obama is automatically deemed racist. SNL has pulled skits which make fun of Obama, and have also been accused of racism for another skit. Oppose Obama's economic policy? Racist.  Oppose his immigration policy? Racist. The racism charge is so pervasive about any opposition or even perceived slight towards Obama, that Reason magazine published an article with an entire timeline featuring liberal claims of the racism towards Obama.

The knee-jerk claims of racism are not simply annoying and overused (which they are), the deeper thing about this whole phenomenon is that it is a concerted effort to ostracize those who criticize Obama, and to warn those who are thinking of criticizing him.  It is to chill free speech, not through government mandate, but through making people afraid to speak their minds, for fear of being ridiculed, or dressed down.

Barack Obama's supporters, and his sycophants in the media, have created, and are continuing to foster, a "cult of personality" around Obama.  Substance doesn't matter.  It's his aura and "star-power" that we must admire. That we must blindly love and follow.  Criticism will not be tolerated.

Lenin, Pol Pot, and Hitler all had those qualities too.

Video: H/T to The Blaze


HUNTSVILLE, Utah — A parade entry portraying President Barack Obama and using the term “Obamanation” has made some angry, and others upset at the negative attention.

It happened in the city’s annual Fourth of July parade.

The float showed a person dressed as President Obama with one sign that read “Huntsville Welcomes Obama’s Farewell Tour?” On the back, another sign said, “Ask about our assault gun plan. Call Eric Holder.”
