Yet another religious cult raided

[Jester]

I question the motives of the government moving against a cult that has not changed its practices for 180 years.

You continue to bring this up... what does it mean?

The US government has been moving against Mormon polygamy with legal force for over 130 years now. If you're suggesting that this has been widely tolerated, and is only now becoming an issue for some odd reason, that would be wrong.

There has always been a careful line between letting people be and preserving the status quo in the name of religious freedom, and aggressively pursuing these cults to defend individual rights against abuse. Sometimes the government has erred on one side, and sometimes on the other. But they have not just left these people alone for 180 years, and then performed a sudden about-face in Texas.

What motive are you suggesting for the government, exactly?
