Merry Christmas!
The halls of the Arkansas States Capitol Building are decked for Christmas! Below is a video showing you some of those decorations. I hope you enjoy it, and I hope you continue to have a merry Christmas season!
You may have seen the news, yesterday, that a federal judge in Utah struck part of the state’s ban on polygamy.
In effect, the judge decriminalized polygamy, although he did not go so far as to say the state must give legal recognition to plural “marriages.”
The judge’s ruling relied in part on court rulings same-sex marriage activists have obtained over the years, specifically citing Lawrence v. Texas, a case that has been central to virtually every lawsuit over same-sex marriage, including the Supreme Court decision last summer to strike part of the federal Defense of Marriage Act.
We’ve written before about how polygamists hope to benefit from same-sex marriage. Now it’s happening. Polygamist cults in Utah are riding the coattails of same-sex marriage.
Below is a video of Family Research Council’s Tony Perkins discussing the issue on CNN last night.

Last spring we wrote a blog post called “10 Lottery Predictions That Came True.” It highlighted 10 things we said would happen if the Arkansas Lottery were established.
