Home Run

To quote Mitt quoting Ben Franklin "Religion can not exist without freedom, and true freedom can not exist without religion." No qualifiers of which religion. Freedom is what this country is about, religious acception is paramount to maintaining this country's freedoms.

I can not believe .... it is times like these I lose hope in mankind. Mitt Romney is BS... and yeah the people of MIchigan might be so desperate that they will believe this crap but in reality he is acting EXACTLY like a high school kid running for Class President.... making promises he just can't keep! Don't fall for the tricks people... I still have some hope that you are intelligent beings!!!!
Ok, to cover the thought that some may have.. this wishful thinking that Romney can actually pull it out his back side... ok if you can do that for MIchigan... what about Vermont? Vermont use to have so many jobs in the tool industry as well as IBM.... now there is nothing and it just keeps getting worse... why do you only care about one state? What about all the rest that are in desperate need of attention?
Now, just to make sure I am not picking on Mitt... I would like to make sure I comment on the NH nomination for best actress. People please open your eyes... no amount of tears will fix any problems. .. get off your butt, wipe your face and DO SOMETHING about it!

This anti-Mormon stuff is HILLARIOUS!

Remember folks, these people who maliciously and nonsensically attack Mormons from their lofty positions of moral authority are the same folks who lost the civil rights battle. These are the same folks who put African-Americans on the back of the bus; the same folks who preached tolerance and love from the pulpit on Sunday, and posted ???No Blacks??? signs on their church doors. These are the same folks who jailed African-American???s for walking the streets in the wrong area of town, and cried on Sunday when the Pastor talked about walking with Christ. These are the same folks who felt no contradiction between attending church on Sunday and a KKK meeting on Saturday night. These folks LOST the civil right battle, and now they are waging a campaign of intolerance against those who are not different by virtue of skin color, but who are different by virtue of religious beliefs.

These folks see no contradiction between bearing false witness and piously proclaiming moral superiority. These folks see no contradiction between aggressively denouncing a neighbor???s faith and piously proclaiming to love as He loved. These folks see no contradiction between being practitioners of intolerance and piously professing belief in One who loved all...equally. These are the same folks who claim to hold sacred our inalienable rights, endowed by a Creator, that grant all men freedom of religion???to believe who, how, what they may. These folks see no contradiction between trumpeting freedom of religion and trampling another???s religion.

These are the same folks who fear Mormons will somehow corrupt government, because the Pastor running for the Presidency preached such a message over the pulpit last Sunday when he reminded them that ???Gods Army??? must march forward and ???take this nation back for Christ???.

Look, the very fact that these folks are eager to spew bigotry toward Mormons in these types of public forums should give us all an indication of the type of people they are. These are the same people that lost the civil rights battle. The Mormons who post here attempting to defend themselves against stupidity and lies are just wasting time. There may always be people out there who hate Jews; hate Mormons; hate Catholics; hate Protestants; hate Muslims; hate Buddhists; hate Hindus; hate agnostics; hate whomever. Unfortunately, these nut job Mormon haters will continue to run wild spewing their brand of ???Christian??? virtue no matter what good and decent of different faiths may say. At some point down the road as ignorance and hate are displaced by knowledge and charity, the tone and tenor and frequency of these attacks will subside. In the meantime, don???t get too spun up my Mormon friends! Most of this anti-Mormon ???information??? is so off target and incorrect that it???s actually pretty hilarious stuff to read!

Part I - I missed the memo that said it's A-OK to make disparaging and often erroneous statements about Mormons. Apparently, they are fair game. Sure, these are hypersensitive times, when name-calling or perceived bias against any group will get you the Don Imus treatment, but you get a free shot with Mormons. You can say what you want about them with impunity. If you denigrate a racial group, you're racist. If you denigrate women, you're sexist. If you denigrate Mormons, you're hip. No one would openly suggest that you shouldn't vote for Hillary Clinton because a woman can't lead the country, especially an ornery one. Nobody would dare say that you shouldn't vote for Barack Hussein Obama because he's black, or of Muslim descent, or because he has a name that sounds like a terrorist. One Clinton worker even apologized for alluding to Obama's use of drugs as a youth, so apparently it's wrong to disparage former drug users, too. But nobody is shy about saying you shouldn't vote for Romney simply because he's a Mormon. It doesn't even register on the PC-O-Meter. Just like that, 6 million Americans have been virtually disqualified from running for president. They've been rendered second-class citizens. They're foreigners living in America. They face a glass ceiling. How un-American is that? It would be one thing if most of those who oppose Romney did so because they disagreed with his politics or character. But Romney is one of the few candidates who has no character issues, a "squeaky clean" man who has a distinguished record of accomplishments, success and service, with no divorces, no affairs, no scandal. The only thing opponents can say about him is that he belongs to a church they don't understand. A Harvard law professor called Romney the most qualified of all the candidates and "the perfect candidate for this moment in time." But there is his Mormonism, he noted. Even the self-styled PC chief of police, Al Sharpton, once jumped in on the action, saying, "As for the one Mormon running for office, those who really believe in God will defeat him anyways." Mormons don't believe in God? For his penance, all Sharpton had to do was endure a family home evening in Utah.

Ron Paul has beat Rudy Giuliani in a couple primaries. I wouldn't be surpeised if he gave him a serious run in Florida.
