I can only assume that the Constitution and the Bill of Rights does not apply in the state of Texas. First it was David Korash, and that really was an abomination of our right as citizens of the United States of America. David Korash was a nut and his followers must have been just as crazy to believe his rantings and build a compound in the desert. The point is the Branch Davidans were bothering no one. Our government forced a confrontation where 53 adults and 21 children died. Only in the land of the free.
Now we have the Yearning for Zion people. Where 416 children were taken from their mothers. The state of Texas has decided that everyone on the Zion ranch has to be DNA tested,though no one have not been accused of committing a crime or breaking the law. Thwn the children will be put up for adoption[auction]. I ask Why? I cannot think of any reasonable argument that can be made for this bludgeoning of the civil rights of American citzens. Apparently 460 lawyers could not accept this outrage and our working for free representing the mothers and their children.
The official reason given for entering the the Yearning for Zion ranch is a 16 year old girl called child protectives and reported she was being beaten and raped by her 50 old husband. This girl has not been found, nor did any of the sect members know of her. The latest report is the girl lives in California and has a history of this kind of action.
The Texas police claimed they observed pregnant girls under the legal age of consent. That is why they waged an Iraqi style offensive against people who stood there and sang and prayed. It is worth mentioning that it was only this year that the Texas Governor Rick Perry raised the age of consent for girls to marry in Texas from 14 to 16.
Following the logic of the Texas police, I assume that they will be raiding public housing projects because there are pregnant girls under the age of consent living there. That would be something to see - the Texas police busing teenage girls with their children out of public housing projects and housing them in stadiums.
The question of whether polygamy is right or wrong is not the issue. The issue is how can children be taken from their mothers by force when there is no evidence of neglect, violence or abuse. By abuse, I mean the kind that kills children all over this nation everyday. I have read many stories and I am sure you have too about children whose mothers are drug addicted prostitutes, who live in filthy, dangerous homes. Even after the children are removed from these homes they are ultimately returned to the unfit mother. I can only assume this does not happen in Texas.
This is about people who choose not to participate in our greedy, violent and promiscuous culture. The state of Texas wants to adopt out 416 children to people who will force them to live in a society that has rejected Christian principles. Is the state of Texas going to force their mothers to shop at mall so they can learn to participate in a cycle of consumption we all know is unsustainable? These women know it too. That is why they rejected it.
This is about a police state that suspends the Constitution and the Bill of Rights whenever they feel like it and invent reasons to take away the rights and freedoms of other people [Iraq]. This is a creed Geo. Bush should be comfortable with.
Why are the presidential candidates not talking about this issue? Because they already know the truth, our constitutional rights are an illusion. The reality is we have very little freedom and if you choose a different path it will not be tolerated. Remember Friends - those famous words, "I am from the government,I am here to help."
