Waking up from a slumber. Hmmm, sounds like that “sleeping giant” motiff from WWII. My brother Dave often says, “We need a good war” meaning that if there were an incredibly dangerous and overt threat such as war that was attacking the American way, then people would finally realize what they’re letting slip away by endorsing leftism. I tell ya, my brother is right in that respect, we need a war to turn this country around. May God grant that it’s not a shooting war. But with Russia being the way it is, the big shooting war possibility is becoming a much larger possibility.

I see from your profile you are a libertarian. What disturbed me the most about this was that there were more democrats and libertarians up in arms about this whole raid then there were republicans. The only republican that were up in arms over this issue seemed to be us Ron Paul republican. You do wonder when America will wake up from is slumber.

[...] had blogged that I was bothered by the Texas police raid on that polygamist compound, where it seemed ludicrous that the People’s Republic of Texas [...]

the whole thing with the polygamists and taking all those kids based on one girl without any real investigation is messed up. About your Muslim ranch comment, you are wrong, if it had been a Muslim ranch they would have said it’s an al quaida training camp and shipped everyone to Guantanamo.

@ Columbiaredhot :: I don’t disagree with you in general… but my beef is mostly that the biggest difference between this Mormon sect and the state of Texas is the age of consent. And underage girls all over the States are willingly sleeping with older (sometimes much older) men… of course, then the men’s picture is on the news… but it’s not like that’s forceable rape. I don’t agree that girls at 14 can give consent… but I take exception at the demonization of these people while the same critics are mostly silent (and sometimes supportive) about underage teen pregnancy elsewhere.

@ John3Sobieski :: Good points. From the news interviews we can see that some people did indeed leave the ranch of their own free will… they weren’t stopped.

Also, if the concern is rape of these girls, then why take the sons away, too?

Columbiaredhot, I’d have to say you’re right, for the most part. There’s only one thing I find wrong with your statement. Yes, the younger ones born into the cult are indeed being forced to do these things. You can’t choose family, after all, and the children would do whatever thier parents say, and thier parents say that they have to be a member of the cult. But what about the older ones, and not necessarily the “old controlling men.” When the cult was founded, it probably took in voluntary members, as would any organization. They wouldn’t have been forced. Unless the circumstances of thier joining was coercive, or outright kidnapping.

Woh! Its called brainwash and absence of choice. These girls are being abused before they understand what abuse is. having babies before the choose to have babies. It’s wrong in the inner cities and it’s wrong in cult groups. It’s not one versus the other.

These girls are being forced and manipulated by their own parents into thinking that defying what the elder men say will make them burn in hell. It’s slavery. The men aren’t raising them, the mothers are. They are breeding other victims of rape by old controlling men.

@ John3Sobieski :: I’ll have to remember that one because I like it – “What’s this world coming to?” – “The end.” Once you’ve programmed grade school kids with your “progressive” agenda you almost have to wait for that generation to die for anything to improve. With the WW2 folks dying and the hippies in the more powerful positions it’s not looking good for a while.

@ Tony Iovino :: Good question. Perhaps the police have them all rounded up for questioning. Perhaps their lawyers have told them not to talk… and the mothers are only talking trying to get their stolen kids back from the People’s Republic of Texas.

The courtroom down there is a catastrophe right now. The parents and kids all have different lawyers!?

In a media blitz, the mothers of the children in this case are all over the news.

Putting aside any other comment or query, I have this question:

Where are the fathers of these children? We haven’t seen any. We haven’t heard from any.

And the media isn’t even mentioning them.

War-Axe for President! on a serious note, the government is bounding over thier steps, as Stan Laurel puts it. What’s new about that? Unfortunately, nothing. What’s new about the lack of moral integrity in America and the world in general? Unfortunately, nothing. We really need to work on improving our kids moral lives, improving them with an incredible moral armor to protect them from the pressures of modern (modern meaning slutty) life. Again, we are unfortunately outnumbered, and we have a long way to go. People often ask me, “What is the world coming to?” I just say, “The end.” It’s got to be coming one day or another, though not necessarilly soon.
