Legalizing Polygamy: At Breakneck Speed Down The Slippery Slope

When the screeching LGTB movement began pushing its relentless agenda for "marriage equality," even though their cause was illogical and groundless, observers outside of that tiny minority were quick to point out the "slippery slope" that they felt we, as a nation, would be headed down if we succumbed.

Now that the Domino Effect is fully engaged, and more and more states are joining the "marriage equality" bandwagon under extreme pressure from the Far Left, the blunt-force trauma being inflicted by those Hell-bent on destroying the family is starting to leave marks.

Yet another major bruise was felt this last week, when U.S. District Judge Clark Waddoups ruled that Utah's anti-polygamy law is "unconstitutional," ironically citing First Amendment "freedom of religion" reasons... the very argument that was rejected when the ban was put into place.

And we all saw this freight train rumbling down the tracks.

The Left's crystal-clear agenda to destroy the family has become obvious to even the most casual observer.  Morals are the enemy.  "Restrictions" and "rules" and "duty" and "responsibility" are crass vulgarities according to the Left's vocabulary.  Those who dared to stand up and state the obvious, even among their own, were instantly despised and cast out of the enlightened midst of The Left.  This included three prominent social scientists (with rock-solid Leftist credentials, no less) in Great Britain in 1992 that published a paper on the devastating effects on children of broken families.

In an article by former Leftist Melanie Phillips titled "Why the Left Hates Families," in The Guardian, she recounts this study;

"From their research, they concluded that children in fractured families tend to suffer more ill-health, do less well at school, are more likely to be unemployed, more prone to criminal behaviour and to repeat as adults the same cycle of unstable parenting." 

The response to the study by her beloved Left was stunning to her as a journalist, and was one of the motivating factors in turning her solidly to the right.

"The defining issue for me — the one that launched me on a personal trajectory of confrontation with the Left and with my colleagues and friends — was the persistent undermining of the family as an institution.
"By the late Eighties, it was glaringly obvious that families were suffering a chronic crisis of identity and self-confidence. 

"There were more and more divorces and single parents — along with mounting evidence that family disintegration and the subsequent creation of step-families or households with no father figure at all did incalculable damage to children."

The Left responded by attacking and bullying anyone who dared to promote the family at all.  No arguments were posed, no logic advanced, no rational reason for their hatred of the family was presented... just unrelenting attacks and bulling in an attempt to drive away opposition by fear.

Amorality has now become the rallying point of the Leftist agenda.  Those who disagree are now labeled "Moralists," with the sneering Left now attempting to redefine that word as societal profanity, and to paint such a position as "anti-society," and "anti-individual rights."  In the Leftist paradigm, one cannot simply be "free" from all sense of morality, but actually needs to be encouraged to abandon all responsibility and duty, or one has no place in Leftist Society.  And of course, without any rational standard of morality, any morality or choice is acceptable, as the recent court's ruling on Utah polygamy law attests.  One only need use the Left's favorite "buzzwords" to bully their way into law.  "Orientation."  "Protected Class."  "Accommodations." 

Commentators who warned that passage of "marriage equality" using the arguments and rationale that the Left was utilizing would lead to a massive re-writing of existing law and societal moral standards turned out to be 100% correct.  Reversing anti-polygamy laws would have been unthinkable even 10 years ago.  Now it has happened.  One can only shudder at what the future... the immediate future... holds.

While Leftists sneer in derision at those who attempt to straighten the deck chairs on the Titanic of societal morality, We, The People are watching with immense dread for the next domino to fall... anti-child-pornography laws, and child sexual abuse laws themselves.

After all, if one cannot "choose" their sexual orientation, and if such can be argued to be an "individual choice" which is sacrosanct over the "rights" of children, what's left to stop those proponents from succeeding, given the court's proclivity to knee-jerk to whatever the Left decides, and make Pedophilia a "protected class"?

At the end of the day, if the mere trajectory of our society's direction doesn't scare the Bejeebers out of you, the sheer speed at which we are arriving there should.
