Thank goodness they got all those children out and they now have a better chance of a really free life!

There where no deaths this time, like there was in WACO, and RUBY RIDGE, but I'm afraid that I see A PATTERN developing.Again I personally don't believe as these people do,or as Waco or Ruby Ridge, but I do believe that the CONSTITUTION GIVES US THE RIGHT TO BELIEVE IN AND WORSHIP WHATEVER GOD WE SEE FIT TO WORSHIP. What would happen if the government decided that BAPTISTS didn't fit the mainstream religious pattern or the Pentecostals,or maybe the Roman Catholics. Where Dear reader does it end? In A Furnace perhaps? Or an Arena? I hope you take a moment to think about what you read in the newspaper or see on the news and bounce it off what has gone before.

This polygamist compound was raided because of 16-year old made a call for help. How about her right to have someone come and save her after she made her plight known?

Is the local county social services office sending out welfare checks to all these women and children? Don't just assume it is true. They would have to appear in person to apply for benefits and there are periodic recertifications done in person. If they never leave the compound, they can't be filing for public assistance. So where do they get their money? Can anyone confirm how these compounds support this many people.

I haven't gotten the impression they were all slaves or were held against their will. I guess that makes such a wide sweeping search warrant ok. It's a good thing none of the people there have any constitutional rights. Sounds to me like a bunch of narrow minded people who are sheep following the lead that whatever the government does is ok. It's time to get rid of these different people. The Amish and Menonites should go next. Freed? I haven’t gotten the impression they were all slaves or were held against their will.

I am so sick and tired of black people bringing race into EVERYTHING. This has nothing to do with how pitiful and put down YOU are, for once the spotlight is on someone else. That's why you feel the need to bring your race into it, so that you can again be the center of attention. As you can see, there are even white people in this country who are slaves. Maybe they should get a public apology, or maybe even reparations... B Black you are a racist idiot. I am so sick and tired of black people bringing race into EVERYTHING.

These poor individuals are brainwashed beginning at birth that the FLDS is the only true church and the only means to eternal life in heaven with their family. The women and children are no different than those born into black slavery. The men holding the believed almighty power of the church priesthood are equivalent to the ruthless Plantation Masters which must be honored and obeyed. These communities need to be uncloaked and abolished; the enslaved women and children residents rescued and deprogrammed from that demented belief structure. The easy part will be to disband the communities; the hard part is the re-programming the belief system that has been drilled into them that altering from that life style will lead to never attaining the highest level of God’s kingdom. Why this madness has been allowed to continue for the past century. America was founded on the premise of the freedom of religion, but what is happening in in Hildale Utah, Eldorado Texas, Colorado City Arizona, is illegal. Polygamy, underage marriages, sex with minors, and rape, are all illegal in this country! Please don’t stop with Eldorado, end it all together so the victims can all heal together.
