If protection of children is the goal, raid Trinity United

There is something weird going on with this TX polygamy sect. The “accuser” is nowhere to be found. The children have been, hmm not kidnapped, forcibly separated from their parents. The man at the center of the accusation hasn’t been to TX in 30 years.

Yet based on an uncorroborated phone call, TX officials stormed the compound and ripped over 400 children from their parents.

Dale Dribble the three pack a day conspiracy nut on King of the Hill would be going nuts. I’m not there yet. After all polygamy is against the law – unless you don’t marry the women and simply spread your seed around then let the government pay to raise your off spring. That of course is fine and people engaged in such activities are never to be condemned.

Now the liberals, if they chose to be consistent with their gay agenda, should be coming to the support of polygamy. They should be holding polygamist rights rallies. They should be constructing laws making it a hate crime to discriminate against polygamists. After all if we can have marriage between a man and a man or a woman and a woman, what could possibly be wrong with a marriage between one man and several women?

I don’t know how this whole thing is going to turn out. Maybe the authorities have headed off another Jim Jones or David Koresh. Or maybe they are harassing a group of people who are breaking the letter of a law the spirit of which is flaunted in welfare offices across America everyday.

Right now to me this thing looks like a bad cross between the Waco and Elian Gonzales raids. If the authorities are bent on raiding something to remove children from a dangerous and unhealthy environment, they should consider the Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago at 11 am Sunday morning.
