Yet another religious cult raided

[kandrathe]

However badly this can be applied to the US government, it can be applied one hundred fold to the FLDS. What personal liberties did the cult members enjoy? What choices did these young girls make? What choices did the "lost boys" have? Is it not relevant that their liberties are being oppressed by the patriarchs of their religion, or is only state tyranny a problem?

You have no arguments from me on that. I think that if the FLDS would have not married off girls under 18, and allowed women to leave with their children whenever they pleased that the State's may have left them alone. As it is, the sect has become overly oppressive and antithetical to modern American notions of liberty. But, it's another Waco, without the violence. The government is intent on destroying this sect, which should make people stand up and take notice.
