"I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers." That's right! Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill

Polygamy would really have to become a popular idea across the US, then become a majority view in at least one state, then become legal in at least one state. It would take a very long time for that kind of thing to happen. On the other hand, if people like Seer keep insisting that Progressives should approve of polygamy, they might just convince the Progressives in time. Personally, I hope that doesn't happen.Middle-of-the-road swing voter. Feel free to sway my opinion.

Originally posted by Yttrium View PostThe courts aren't inclined to do something like that without popular support, and it's not going to stick in a state until a majority is willing to put up with it. There has to be a societal trend pushing things along. As more and more people go along with the idea, more and more courts move the same way. At least at the beginning. Sure, later on the higher courts can impose things on more states without majority approval in those states.Atheism is the cult of death, the death of hope.

- Let some of those on the left discover that a majority of those involved in polygamous relationships rely on public assistance (welfare and food stamps) to help raise the children and folks like Nancy Pelosi would likely trip over themselves rushing to support it (especially since they claim that food stamps is such a boon for the economy).
- Let some Muslims start screaming "Islamophobia" for not allowing them to have up to four wives and watch how many start supporting it either because of multiculturalism or fear of violent reprisals if they don't
- Let the Democrats win the presidency in 2016 and appoint a couple more Supreme Court justices and you may see polygamy being mandated by court order using foreign legal decisions as justification (many liberal judges have already cited foreign laws to support their decisions already)

Mother Jones Explains Why Eating 3 Square Meals A Day Is Actually Racist
According to an essay by Mother Jones Senior Editor Kiera Butler, eating three meals a day is “anti-science, racist, and might actually be making you sick.”
Butler’s astounding proclamation that three square meals is “racist” is supported by her interview with Historian Abigail Carroll, who wrote the book Three Squares: The Invention of the American Meal:

When I was younger I used to eat just one big meal each day. Then I began eating 3 smaller meals and I have aged tremendously. Why was I not warned earlier?Micah 6:8 He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?
