POPSTexas Appellant Court ruling appalling
In the world of the FLDS, "spiritual marriage" between older men and underage girls — what the law defines as rape — is given the stamp of religious approval. Of 53 girls believed to be between 14 and 17, more than 30 have children or are pregnant, including one who gave birth to her second child in custody. Among the boys, too, there is suspicion of widespread physical abuse. Indeed, many teenage boys are routinely banished to preserve the odds of polygamy. Nevertheless, what do we make of an entire sect that has sexual abuse at its very heart? That believes plural "marriages" between older men and underage women are not an aberration but a pathway to heaven? Nobody can prosecute the FLDS for what they believe, says Marci Hamilton, author of God vs. the Gavel. "They can stay together and believe what they want into eternity. What they can't do is illegal action." In the end, what we have on that ranch in Eldorado is not a lifestyle. It's a pedophile ring.

POPSThe paradox of polygamy
When men imagine what living in a polygynous society might be like, they imagine themselves married to several wives.What they don’t realize, however, is that, more than likely, they would be left without any wife in a polygynous society. Polygynous marriage in a polygynous society is always limited to a minority of men. If 50% of men have two wives each, then the other 50% cannot have any wives. If 25% of men have four wives each, then the other 75% cannot have any wives. The exceptions to this rule are highly desirable women, who benefit from monogamous society, and highly desirable men, who benefit from polygynous society. A highly desirable woman can marry a highly desirable man under any circumstances, but under polygyny she’d have to share her desirable husband with other women, whereas under monogamy she can monopolize him.A highly desirable man can acquire multiple wives under polygyny, but must confine himself to only one wife(albeit a highly desirable one)under monogamy.

POPSHow Long Until British Law No Longer Holds For Infidels? Shari'a law allows for Muslim men to have a harem of up to four. New guidelines on income support from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) state: "Where there is a valid polygamous marriage the claimant and one spouse will be paid the couple rate ... The amount payable for each additional spouse is presently £33.65." The ruling could cost taxpayers millions of pounds.... So, the UK is going to allow for and fund its own Islamification by demographics? Not to mention that bigamy has been against UK and Western law for centuries!

POPSOne rule for us It took over three years to get a disabled former Royal Marine housed out of the derelict garage he was forced to live in. That, despite the fact he was in full time employment, but was not earning sufficient to pay commercial rent. If any single issue is to break the tenuous racial cohesion, this is it. If we cannot look after our own, then we should definitely prefer others.

POPSDo You Know Mitt? In the debates, If he were president, he was asked, would he get Congress's authorization to take military action against Iran's nuclear facilities?
