Harry Reid is a Jerk

Did I ever mention that Harry Reid is a jerk? Last July, Harry Reid held a Senate hearing about polygamists. A number of polygamists flew to DC to participate, but Reid wouldn't let any of them speak. So much for "DO NOTHING ABOUT US WITHOUT US" !!!

Reid has announced that he will be reviving his efforts to create a national federal task force to crack down on the crimes associated with polygamy. What are the "crimes associated with polygamy"?

Bigamy?
Child Bigamy?
Welfare Fraud?
Money Laundering?
Tax Fraud?

I know this post isn't especially scholarly, but it seems to me that we already have laws addressing those crimes, and Shurtleff and crew have been vigorously cracking down for some eight years, haven't they?

I was watching the Safety Net meeting online last week, and some guy asked the Workforce Services representatives if they are able to accurately determine if the people in Colorado City and Hildale are abusing welfare programs? The officials stated that they monitor every application for accuracy, and are aware of no special problems with abuse or over-use of assistance programs in that area.

In Reid's proposed bill, he talks about polygamous communities being "criminal" organizations. What is a criminal organization? Is that like Al-Qaeda or something? I know that corporations are, in a sense, fictitious persons, and can have standing in a court of law, but an "organization" is an abstract concept, so how can it commit a crime? Reid is an idiot. People commit crimes - not organizations! That would be like saying, "That awful church shot me in the leg!" ABSURD !!! Reid must be trying to say that polygamists are criminals, so, if they organize in some way, then their organizations are criminal. What an idiot! He wants to go after anyone who is "associated" with polygamists, or who is "related" to a polygamist. Heck, it's a good thing he's not going after every Utahn who is descended from a polygamist!

I don't know why more people aren't protesting this ridiculous, bigoted bill. There are supposedly 37,000 fundapolygamentalists in the U.S., but I bet there are 11 million illegal Hispanic aliens in this country. I'll give you three guesses as to which group commits more crimes, collects more welfare dollars, and impregnates more teenagers. Some Hispanics are criminals. Some Hispanics form organizations like LA RAZA. According to Reid's contorted logic, LA RAZA would be a "criminal" organization (subject to RICO statutes like the MAFIA). Why is Reid not forming a task force to crack down on crimes in Latino communities? Latinos are in far more U.S. cities than polygamists are. Last I heard, the Latino population of Idaho is approaching 25%, and they seem to be reproducing faster than polygamists.

Lastly, what is all this CRAP about providing assistance for women and children "FLEEING" polygamist communities? By my last count, we have:

Hope for the Child Brides
Help the Child Brides
Child Protection Project
The Diversity Foundation
Tapestry Against Polygamy
Travesty of Bigamy
Rescuing the Reluctant
Americans Against Religious Freedom (AARF)
Conniving Canadians
Busybodies International
Reid's Rescue Rangers
- and too many others to mention . . . . .

My guess is that there are so few people "FLEEING" polygamous relationships, that these support organizations don't have enough fleeing escapees to go around. After the military assault on the YFZ ranch in Eldorado, I count ZERO women and children who are trying to "FLEE" that community.

If Reid thinks that crimes in "polygamy" are a drain on our precious economy, why do we want to appropriate millions more dollars to fund more wasteful, un-Constitutional government programs to tackle polygamy?

In 2019, we will be paying $865 billion per year just to cover the interest on the federal debts we are currently running up. Doctrine and Covenants (section 87) has the words - "....until the consumption decreed hath made a full end of all nations." Maybe Warren Jeffs isn't so wrong about stuff, after all.
