I much prefer the Catholics --their guilt makes them better lovers and less sanctimonious

You're assuming she has a say in the matter. The whole point of quiverfull/patriarchy is getting rid of pesky details like that.

Stupid is as stupid does. Again, if you don't want people to know about your child abusin' ways, cooperate when DCFS shows up at your door. DCFS records ARE confidential. Making them have to call for police backup is abysmally stupid. Police reports are NOT confidential, unless they have been sealed or are specifically covered by law. Dumbasses. How can you not have learned that the first time?

Oh, and seriously...is there anyone associated with Huckabuck or his sex-club that hasn't molested children or young girls?

As we've already learned, child abuse and molestation are a feature, not a bug, of the Dominionist cult the Duggars, Fox "News," and Tea Party politicians are mainstreaming. Let's review:

Bill Gothard/Religious Right: "Dominionism and child abuse, part 1" (2007): http://www.dailykos.com/sto...

The American Prospect: "The Homeschool Apostates" (current; Kathryn Joyce): http://prospect.org/article... (children raised like the Duggar kids are fighting back):

"As of October, Homeschoolers Anonymous had published nearly 200 personal accounts and attracted more than 600,000 page views. For those outside the homeschooling movement, and for many inside it, the stories are revelatory and often shocking. The milder ones detail the haphazard education received from parents who, with little state oversight, prioritize obedience and religious training over learning. Some focus on women living under strict patriarchal regimes. Others chronicle appalling abuse that lasted for years."http://prospect.org/article...

The fact that we on the left are so far behind the learning curve on this is truly horrifying.

P.S. The Libertarian/Religious Right "proclamation" to end public education, promoting Bible-based homeschooling (This is THEIR WEBSITE): http://www.schoolandstate.o...

"Ron Paul [Home School] Curriculum Launched by Reconstructionist Gary North and Neo-Confederate Thomas Woods"http://www.talk2action.org/...

Ron Paul (VIDEO): "Ron Paul's Texas Straight Talk 6/23/14: Opt-Out of Common Core and Opt-In to the Ron Paul Curriculum "https://www.youtube.com/wat...

Again, this isn't a side show, it's a far right political agenda embraced by the 'Tea Party' (Duggars at CPAC):

Observer: "The Duggars Seem So Nice Until You Meet Their Terrifying Political AgendaThey push their crackpot anti-science beliefs behind the scenes in Washington too"http://observer.com/2014/12...

THIS is the ideology behind the 'Tea Party' "War on Women" (and children). MRAs are the Libertarian (secular) strain of the Religious Right's "Bible-based" ideology:

Way to redirect the thread. The Patriot Act has what to do with the Duggar cult? Since you brought it up... wasn't it libertarian Glenn Greenwald who demanded we lefties throw in our lot with "principled" Libertarians (Ron Paul in particular)? Remember this?: http://www.salon.com/2011/1...

Ahem: "Found: Libertarians' "Lying To Liberals" Guide Book""One of the most shocking strategy articles comes in a REASON article headlined "Marketing Libertarianism"...

All of that is stunning enough—and something to keep in mind if you find yourself getting all dewy-eyed as you take your place on the bottom of the "strange bedfellows" at the StopWatching.us rally, topped by such rancid libertarian outfits as FreedomWorks, the Kochs’ climate denial front Competitive Enterprise Institute, the Kochs’ new anti-Obamacare Astroturf front Generation Opportunity, Students For Liberty (funded by CIA/NSA contractor Peter Thiel), Ron Paul’s Young Americans For Liberty, the Libertarian Party..."https://www.nsfwcorp.com/di...

This is all so very odd, considering the fact that Libertarians were the ones who practically wrote the Patriot Act: "Principled" Cato:http://www.thenation.com/ar...

Libertarian Glenn Greenwald's actual opinion of us "socialist-collectivist pacifists"http://glenngreenwald.blogs...

So, yes, the people who consider child abuse a "freedom" have much to hide: http://www.usatoday.com/sto...

Which brings us back to the topic at hand:

Mouthy? That's her attraction for Jim Bob. I happened to see his "talk" with Jessa just before her wedding. He was absolutely drooling all over her. It was sickening beyond words. That was lust personified. I couldn't get away from that fast enough.
