Someone should care, maybe not you....

My thoughts on many things including the army, war, politics, the military corrections system, chaos, life, books, movies, and why there is no blue food. Feel free to comment on what I say. Feedback is nice.

Hypocrisy

I am here today to call Hypocrisy and bullshit on the enire State of Utah. Or at least it's judicial system. the subject is the Warren Jeffs trial. For those that don't follow weird news Jeffs is the leader of the "Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints" He has been arrested not for being involved in polygamy as Utah is very quick to say but as an accessory to Rape. In specific he arranged a marriage between a 14 yo girl and her 19 yo cousin.
Now leaving all of that aside the fact that Utah continues to insist that polygamy has nothing to do with this case is pure crap. The fact that they have arrested the "accessory" to rape and not the actual alleged rapist,Allen Steed, gives lie to that fact. Steed in fact testified at the trial of Jeffs.
Is Jeffs a flake? Yeah, probably. But the simple fact is he has been arrested because he lives a lifestyle and preaches a doctrine that is not "correct" in the US. Not for rape.

As I thought

Well, as predicted a couple of posts ago, the left, both politicians and bloggers, declared that General Petraeus was a liar and(and, in case of Moveon.org, a traitor)dismissed everything he had to say. Most of them dismissed it before he said it. Well, not really they sure jumped on the negative things. So I guess he is only lying when he says stuff they disagree with.
And to think they accuse the right of being close minded and deliberately ignorant.
