What are you thinking?

The Mothers and Children are not going to be reunited. Part of the whole alleged “abuse” case was that the Mothers perpetuated the cycle.

Thank you for your interest and for the petition you made. I didn't get to sign it , but I don't think Texas Gov. would have wanted an FLDS to sign it. My dear friends & Family are all involved. I saw them on the "sad children" video on http://www.captivefldschildren.org/index.php Oh, how heart breaking..... Then too hear how they tore the children out of their mothers arms. An officer held the mother from behind while a CPS worker pried the dear childs hands from its mother. As they both screamed and cryed... "No" and "Mother" They took them away. They call this saving a child from harm? What mental damages have they just done? Far more than they ever would have had by living at the ranch with their loving mothers.

What you choose to shut your eyes from is the fact that no one here is arguing in favor of polygamy. The Texas authorities didn’t go into the FLDS ranch because of their polygamist activities. They went in citing child welfare issues and not polygamy. On top of that, the evidence they used as a basis for the raid turned out to be false. I’m sure that they would have had a much stronger case for the raid if illegal polygamy were the issue but it’s not. The government jumped at this opportunity while failing to do the ground work necessary to legitimize their actions. I don’t know how you or anyone else could support such behavior. As long as you continue to spew your disdain for the people of the FLDS Church and ignore the facts in favor of some other non-related perceived evil, you’ll continue to be seen as ignorant and misinformed by Connor and his readers.

First of all, I recommend a course in Constitutional Law and then perhaps one in Criminal Law where you can learn about due process and rights. A quick perusal of legal blogs will reveal questioning by attorneys of the tactics employed against the FLDS. A small group called the ACLU even called to complain. Mormon-controlled states? I beg your pardon? Been to Arizona lately? The Governor, Attorney General, Secretary of State and many in the legislature are NOT LDS. I do not live in Utah (thankfully), so I cannot speak for the religious make-up of the government officials, but I can say with confidence that the LDS Church does not run the government of Utah, nor does it have any desire to do so. Anyhow, you are dodging the issue at hand. I have no love for polygamy and those who practice it. We have outlawed it and if the government wants to enforce the laws against polygamy, I say let them do it. But do so within the confines of the law! Tilden,

Where to begin…

First of all, I recommend a course in Constitutional Law and then perhaps one in Criminal Law where you can learn about due process and rights. A quick perusal of legal blogs will reveal questioning by attorneys of the tactics employed against the FLDS. A small group called the ACLU even called to complain.

Mormon-controlled states? I beg your pardon? Been to Arizona lately? The Governor, Attorney General, Secretary of State and many in the legislature are NOT LDS.
