Reagan wouldn't pass your litmus test. He had the same position as Romney.
Why do I feel like I’m dealing with a petulant 5 year old having a tantrum whenever you post your diatribe? Waa, Waa, Waa. Grow up and get a life. Live in the now, not the past. I’m sorry you had a bad experience with bad members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Uh, here’s gem for ya: Bad things happen when people make bad choices regardless of thier religious affiliations. It’s a fact of life you need to embrace - it’s called reality.
BTW, I’m not friends with those people in Vegas. I don’t personally know Rory. I’m friends with other family members of Mr. Reid here in Northern Nevada. What’s funny regarding those family members is that even though we disagree politically on most issues, these particular family members are good people. I don’t have to agree with them on every issue in order to appreciate the good in them.
It seems to me that you are the one with the God complex inasmuch as anyone that doesn’t agree with YOUR lunacy is a heretic. What’s the name of YOUR church? Geez, you sound like a liberal on his soapbox.
Give it a rest cuz now you’re just getting b o r i n g. Zzzzzzzzzzz...
“A simple decent apology about the cricket thing and I promise I will never bring it up again.”
Apologize for what? Saying that a superstitious Mormon told me not to step on Mormon crickets?
I will apologize when you find one other qualified person on my planet Earth who can definitively say “here is the quotation where FastCoyote says every Mormon from here to Kolob says you can’t step on Mormon Crickets”.
Since you can’t do it, and I’ve even offered $100 to you to show where I said that, I think you are outed as someone who is all hat and no cattle.
Provide the quote that says “all Mormons believe” or apologize for being a defamer and liar.
It’s really simple, either you have the quote or you don’t.
Adapted from Maureen Ursenbach Beecher, “Discover Your Heritage: ‘They Will Kill Us!’ “ New Era, Sept. 1974, 3637.
“As one who has had my sources ridiculed as being prejudiced, I see that the source you use for “saving the book of commandments” is the New Era magazine, an official magazine of the LDS church. Can you provide a neutral source for this story?”
It is quite likely the story is true. What I find amusing is that when Mormon mobs and militia are involved, as at the Nauvoo Expositor incident as commanded by General Smith under cover of law, this is justified against malcontents. It just seems events can never be interpreted as the fault of Mormons.
Ronald Reagan, concerning gun control:
"You won't get gun control by disarming law-abiding citizens. There's only one way to get real gun control: Disarm the thugs and the criminals, lock them up and if you don't actually throw away the key, at least lose it for a long time... It's a nasty truth, but those who seek to inflict harm are not fazed by gun controllers. I happen to know this from personal experience."
Ronald Reagan was the best President in my lifetime, so far.
So now it's one Mormon. It was a group of Mormons before and you generalized it to other Mormons. You got laughed off the thread. I am guessing most FReepers don't care enough to read the original link which I have provided in a previous post but the record is there for all to see. I stand by my claim. You clearly generalized your experience of "Holy Crickets" to include other Mormons. You also swore at posters who called you on it. I have already provided you the text where you generalize (and swear at other FReepers). Maybe if you deny it enough you can make it seem like it never happened. I can't help it if Yes means No or Black Means White to you. That's your own problem.
I think I'm done with our little chat about this today, Feel free to respond, I know you will.
“Maybe if you deny it enough you can make it seem like it never happened. “
My sin, if there is one, would be on the order of “who stepped on the crickets”
On the other hand, what you deny is that Joseph Smith was a dirtbag who slept with other men’s wives, slept with underage children and had 33 wives AT LEAST.
So I will be happy to trade any semantic cricket transgressions I conceivably have made for your denial that your prophet was little better than a whoremaster. Harsh statement I know, but just look up Joseph Smith’s genealogy in your own Mormon family genealogy site, and cross link to Heber Kimbal and Brigham Young and the accusation is not deniable.
I deny cricket heresy, you deny whoremaster heresy, and we’ll see who is believed.
A lot of Freepers say that, but (Rudy is) the only candidate who’s got the edge on Hillary in the Florida polls. If he’s so unpopular among NYers, then why do they support him?
We don't.
Still haven't seen your polling data. But I found my own.
Giuliani lagging with the home crowd [Unpopular in New York]. A highlight:
In a possible head-to-head general election matchup, Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton led Giuliani, 52 percent to 39 percent, among voters statewide. An April poll from Siena had Clinton with a much smaller lead, 48 percent to 43 percent.
Giuliani's favorable rating with all voters statewide was 51 percent, down from 63 percent in January of this year.
The former mayor's favorable rating in New York City was just 44 percent. Fifty-two percent of city voters said they had an unfavorable opinion of Giuliani.
Why do you think New Yorkers support Rudy? We know him too well for that.
