Mike Zitterich unhappy with my stand on SB 156, because “we’re a christian state” and a 13 yo should be able to make their own choices

Occasional Sioux Falls political candidate and current leader of a petition effort to keep the Brockhouse collection in Sioux Falls Mike Zitterich is unhappy with me.

Yep. He’s downright fuming over the fact I’ve said that I absolutely believe that we should raise the age to marry to 18, as per Sydney Davis’ bill SB 156 that was heard yesterday.

I saw a note in the comment section about his response, and had to find it.  And I regret it, as  I think Mr. Zitterich managed to out-ick California Carley’s rejection of SB156.

So, straight from the former “Primary John Thune” facebook group, now known as the “the South Dakota Grassroot Conservative Republicans Facebook group,” Mike Zitterich’s rebuttal to my post unhappy about SB 156’s failure.

“By the time your children reach their teenage years, ages 13-19 becoming young adults, they begin to earn our respect, earning the the right to become employed (age 13), to drive on public roads (age 14), and beginning to form their own adult like relationships. Mind you, all by pertaining by the rules and guidelines as laid down by the rules of the home, their parents, so by age 16, they may get married to any adult older than 16”

“You see even Pat Powers falls victim to the b.s media clam that anyone having sex with a teenager is a pedo, when in fact, it simply violates the consent laws, where the parents must be involved in those types of relationships.”

This might be one of the most horrific and completely f’d up things I’ve ever read on facebook in a group that pretends to be a South Dakota “Republican” group.   If a parent is involved in allowing a 13 year old to have a sexual relationship, most would consider that human trafficking, and they should be in jail for a very, very long time.

If you were against Senate Bill 156 to raise the age of marriage to 18, between these comments and California Carley’s equally messed up arguments – THAT’S why we need laws protecting 16 and 17 year old girls from someone marrying them away.

  1. These are the same creeps that are consumed with going after those who are Transgender. Joel Koskan was a seriously hateful and very vocal transphobe.

    If you see them being fixated with attacking and legislating anti-transgender laws be very suspicious they are hiding something where often times sooner or later they end up getting caught!

  2. uhhh …. I’d argue that a pedo is someone who is attracted to anyone that is pre-pubescent. That could be 14 or 15 or even 16 yo. obviously a sick _____. Someone should hog house that marriage bill onto a vehicle in the house. Time to not be a safe haven for child traffickers and creeps. Let them find another state. Without exception, those child brides should be treated as adults in all respect including being able to contract without an “adult’s” permission. Hire lawyers, rent vehicles, etc.

  3. Two words that are used as a smokescreen
    in the most disgusting way imaginable.

    Christian Patriots

    They are neither.

  4. Look up a Sioux Falls city council meeting, fast-forward to the end, and hear and see Mike Z speak…… Enough said.

  5. I was disgusted before; this is a whole level. This is more than just saying, quiet out loud; this is publishing in a public forum. Is this grounds for a home search? At this point, I’m fairly confident they will find something; I’m just horrified to think of what it could be

  6. There is so much that is seriously wrong with this guy as well as those with the same warped views, it’s sick. Not to insult hillbillies but I think even hillbillies are creeped out by those who believe as he does.

  7. I am actually surprised that deadbeat dads, learning that it takes the signature of only one parent, have not figured out marrying off their minor children severs their parental rights and responsibilities and gets them out of paying child support.
    What a deal.
