The Overton Window Drifts Left: Liberty Counsel Warns Against Polygamy and Pedophilia

 We warned you.

It would never stop with false marriage as a coupling of two people of the same sex. The moral and sexual anarchy which would ensue because of the radical redefinition of marriage is pushing all kinds of perversion and harm.

Sadly, instead of standing for truth right where the issues started, with the introduction and imposition of same-sex marriage, many conservatives are now fighting against the DIS-Respect for Marriage Act (H4 8404), by highlighting the possible normalization of polygamy and pedophilia:

Polygamy is more common in America than you might think. Congress is about to make it even more so, if Sen. Schumer (D-NY) gets his way and passes HR 8404, the so-called “Respect for Marriage Act.” On Wednesday during a press conference, Schumer said, "But let me be clear, a vote will happen.” He stressed again a vote will happen “on the Senate floor in the coming weeks … ” The U.S. Senate floor is open for votes next week. Schumer is fixated on passing HR 8404. On the same day, Sens. Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) and Susan Collins (R-ME) said they are working to get more Republican votes and will propose an amendment to correct a “drafting error in one part of the bill” that Republicans fear will open the door to polygamy. This was no drafting error. In addition to same-sex marriage, HR 8404 forces every state to legally recognize the worst marriage laws of any other state—including laws that allow child bride, pedophile and incestuous “marriages.” Today, we will hear from some of the victims of polygamy. But first, please take a stand for these brave young women who escaped a lifetime of sexual servitude to decades-older men with apparently unbridled sexual appetites. Please help them by demanding Congress VOTE NO on HR 8404. — Mat Defend marriage! Send your fax now demanding Congress Vote NO on HR 8404. Arthur, There are an estimated 50,000-100,000 polygamous families in the U.S., and the popularity of polygamy is growing, thanks to a series of cable television shows that attempt to glorify the practice. But those cable TV shows rarely, if ever, reveal the abuse and desperation suffered by the young girls forced to marry into polygamous “families.” Allegations of sexual abuse, pedophilia and incest are rampant in polygamist families and the colonies they have formed in the U.S. There are four Republican votes for HR 8404. Six more are needed to overcome the filibuster. And about 16 Republican senators have not publicly stated their position on HR 8404. The senators MUST hear from you!   These young women need YOUR help! Tell Congress to VOTE NO on HR 8404! "This is organized crime operating under the cover of religion," says 36-year-old Laura Chapman, who escaped a polygamist sect several years ago. Laura now helps other girls escape their polygamist marriages to pedophile husbands. Young girls are forced to marry as soon as possible, often to grown men already related to them. Once married, the girls are trapped. Mary Ann Kingston was one of those girls. Her father had forced her to marry her uncle, who promptly raped Mary Ann in her mother’s own house. Mary Ann was her uncle’s 15th wife. Mary Ann tried to flee, but she was quickly caught in the tiny insular community. Her father brought her out to the barn and horsewhipped her for her attempted escape. Mary Ann was promptly moved into a tiny apartment next to her uncle’s other wives so they could keep her in check. But somewhere deep down, she knew what was happening to her was very, very wrong. After one particularly bad beating, Mary Ann fled on foot, with only the clothes on her back. Beaten and bloody, she called 911 from a truck stop a few miles from her prison. Thank God, Mary Ann was rescued. But far too many young girls are not, and many more will be trapped in polygamy and child-bride “marriages,” unable to escape the pedophiles to whom they have been contracted. If the so-called “Respect for Marriage Act” becomes law, it has a loophole that will open the door to legalize polygamy. This bill will further trap people like Mary Ann under even greater bondage! I need your help to hold senators accountable and stop HR 8404. Rush urgent faxes to the Senate to STOP HR 8404. The bill applies to “marriage between 2 individuals.” The number should at least be written out as “two” or in more formal legislation as both, “two (2).” And the word “only” is not in the text—“only between” two people. The bill clearly overrides state marriage laws, including age limits, by allowing one state to set marriage law for the nation. Under HR 8404, a man can deceptively marry women in more than one state, and then use the bill to require one state to recognize the other marriage, and thus override state and federal polygamy laws. Utah no longer criminalizes polygamy. The fine is now about equivalent to a traffic ticket. Some senators simply view this bill as codifying same-sex marriage, which is bad enough. However, HR 8404 has many far-reaching implications, including pedophile marriage, same-sex, child-bride, incest, polygamy and any other perversion of marriage. Liberty Counsel is fighting for religious freedom every day in the halls of Congress as well as in state and federal courtrooms around the nation. This year alone, we have won all the cases we argued or briefed before the U.S. Supreme Court … and we aren’t done yet! Currently, Liberty Counsel is defending members of the U.S. military, as well as health care workers, employees and students against unlawful shot mandates. We continue to defend Christian counselors persecuted by politicians for daring to counsel people seeking to overcome unwanted same-sex attractions, behaviors or gender confusion. Our multi-year defense of Sandra Merritt, the brave whistleblower being prosecuted for exposing Planned Parenthood’s “baby parts for sale” scheme, continues, as does work on many other cases. And we are filing multiple briefs in the state courts defending life. We need YOUR help to continue this winning streak for the Lord!

We see how the Overton Window on cultural issues continues to drift to the left among conservatives, among restorationist Republicans and constitutionalists who want to perserve not the status quo, but rather restore the natural definition of sex, marriage, and family.

We need to get back to the basics. We need to restore what has been lost, not merely manage the dessicated decline.

Yes, we need to stop polygamy and pedophilia, yes we need to stop the corruption of the marriage institution in full. That means that we need to state plainly that "same-sex marriage" is a falsehood and a contradition which must be stopped at all costs!

Open Letter to CAGOP, Denouncing "Pride Month" Announcement from RNC Chair

To the current leadership of the California Republican Party:

My name is Arthur Schaper, and I am a delegate to the state party, having served as the GOP nominee for the 66th Assembly District in Los Angeles County.

I just found this tweet from Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel:

https://twitter.com/GOPChairwoman/status/1400212885595426824

 The contents of the tweet read as follows:

Happy #PrideMonth!@GOP is proud to have doubled our LGBTQ support over the last 4 years, and we will continue to grow our big tent by supporting measures that promote fairness and balance protections for LGBTQ Americans and those with deeply held religious beliefs.

— Ronna McDaniel (@GOPChairwoman) June 2, 2021

This is abhorrent and disgusting.

The Republican Party was founded on ending the twin relics of barbarism: slavery and polygamy.

Polygamy is a detestable practice which reduces women (and children) to property while undermining the inherent dignity of men.

The point is: pro-family policies must be defended at all costs in the Republican Party.

The idea that the Republican Party should welcome sexual deviancy and degeneracy as some kind of iteration of the Civil Rights Movement, or that sexual perversion should be treated as another class of essential being is anti-science and unconstitutional.

Human beings are not "born" gay. Even openly gay academics like Camille Paglia have recognized this fact. There is also a growing body of research which confirms that there is no "gay gene":

https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-019-02585-6

We need to be the "pro-science" as well as the pro-natural law party.

I must remind all of you of the clear dictates of our nation's founding principles:

"When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation."

The laws of nature recognize male and female, and recognize that marriage is a sacrament, an institution of one man and one woman. The head of our party should not be celebrating homosexuality, transgenderism, and like degenerate behaviors. There is no place for this perversity in conservatism.

The RNC Chairwoman must retract this outrageous tweet, which suggests that LGBT behaviors are concrete identities deserving of full support and protection. The California Republican Party must go on record opposing such perverse, improper declarations, as well.

We cannot allow our culture to descend into a malaise of cultural Marxism masquerading as "tolerance, inclusiveness, and diversity."

There are a number of behaviors and ideas which cannot be tolerated. They include the destruction of innocent life (abortion), the limitation of self-defense (gun control), and the destruction of the natural family (homosexuality, transgenderism, no-fault divorce, etc.)

As a delegate to the state party, I expect a response on this matter.

Thank you. 

Sincerely,

Arthur Schaper 

To the Glendora City Council: Why I am a Republican and Trump Supporter

Good Evening, Glendora City Council.

My name is Arthur Schaper.

I am the President of the Beach Cities Republicans and a proud Trump Supporter.

With many of my friends throughout Los Angeles County,  we have visited diverse communities of all demographics and backgrounds to show support for our President.

Donald Trump has accomplished more than I could have anticipated.

He has ended taxpayer-funding for abortions overseas.

He has repealed terrible regulations within the Affordable Care Act, and is dedicated to repealing that terrible law.

He signed off on the Keystone Pipeline and has approved the Construction of the Dakota Pipeline as well.

He has also diligently enforced our immigration laws, and his excellent Attorney General, Jeff Sessions, has issued clear instructions to all states—including California—to respect and enforce our immigration laws, or face the dire consequences. Unlike the previous President, who routinely undermined the rule of law, Trump is restoring the respect for the rule of law.

Jobs are back, the economy is working. Americans do not need to fear losing their rights, including Freedom of Speech and the Right to Keep and Bear Arms. I am a proud Trump Supporter and also a proud Republican, and I have continued to take the message of the Republican Party, and what its values are.

The Republican Party was founded on a two-fold platform: the abolition of slavery and the end of polygamy: Pro-Liberty and Pro-Family.

The Republican Party has fought for civil rights, from its inception and then majority power in Congress with the Civil Rights Act of 1865 to the 1960's. The first Black US Senators were Republicans, whether elected by legislature or popular vote. The first Asian US Senator was also a Republican. Richard Nixon’s Southern strategy was based on a clear program of desegregation throughout the country.

Republicans have prosecuted the peace, while Democrats have entered us into war

President Reagan led the fight against communism and helped defeat the Soviet Empire

I have met and worked with Republicans of diverse backgrounds, and other reasons why they have joined the GOP?

They are pro-life.

They believe in teaching a man to survive and thrive, rather than depending on someone else to get by—especially the government.

They believe in limited government, individual liberty, and constitutional rule.

And thank God for Donald Trump, that he is furthering these principles.

God Bless Donald Trump!
