Looks like the bigots have found this thread and are doing their level best to muck it up with their lies, smears, and nasty religious intolerance. I really thought that FReepers were better than this, but the behavior of these jerks have made me realize that I was wrong. I’m not sure that I can continue donating to a website that condones this kind of religious intolerance and harassment. The stupid thing is that a great many members of the Republican Party and the conservative movement are LDS and these bigots are doing all they can to turn them off and drive them away. Their hate blinds them to who their friends and allies are and to the unintended consequences of their actions.
Thereby guaranteeing that the Republican Party will forever will be in the minority. I hear grumblings of a third party movement within the conservatives of the LDS community. How long can this tolerate this bigotry?
Rememeber this in Alma 11
21 And this Zeezrom began to question Amulek, saying: Will ye answer me a few questions which I shall ask you? Now Zeezrom was a man who was expert in the devices of the devil, that he might destroy that which was good; therefore, he said unto Amulek: Will ye answer the questions which I shall put unto you?
22 And Amulek said unto him: Yea, if it be according to the Spirit of the Lord, which is in me; for I shall say nothing which is contrary to the Spirit of the Lord. And Zeezrom said unto him: Behold, here are six onties of silver, and all these will I give thee if thou wilt deny the existence of a Supreme Being.
23 Now Amulek said: O thou child of hell, why tempt ye me? Knowest thou that the righteous yieldeth to no such temptations?
But than again one must keep in mind Mitt is not running for a eccleastic position but a secular office.

I knew there were some number anti-Mormon religious bigots on this site, but I didn’t realize that Free Republic apparently condones their behavior until this evening. I will have to rethink my commitment here. I do not want to be associated with anything like this.

If the religious bigots try too hard to discredit Mitt, they might succeed in attracting the more traditional Democrats, who in turn might vote for Mitt out of sympathy because it might become the impression that Mitt is being discriminated against. You never know, it could work to his advantage. All works to the good of those who love the Lord. Reagan attracted the working class democrats and Mitt might too over this very issue, if it’s God’s will.
