I’m sorry, but anybody who tries to make the government do the work of the Lord is NOT doing a good thing.
Democrats don’t espouse christian principles by having the government feed the poor; they interfere with God’s moral training of His people, who are supposed to see need and respond to it.
Democrats don’t want to have to respond to needs, so they want to tax other people and have government do it, so they can pretend they are righteous and exclude the lower class from their parties.
Democrats believe that OTHER PEOPLE should pay for any program they create.
It is true that Democrats didn't have as much trouble running up the deficit, because they did raise taxes to force others to pay for the programs they used to buy the votes of the poor and weak-minded in this country.
Utah hated the republicans because of Abraham Lincoln...
Let’s see how so called conservative Republican Utah has voted in the last 100 years...
1916 - Woodrow Wilson won in Utah in 1916.. Democrats took the Governorship and the US Senate
1924 - Democrat governor, No Senate race
1928 - Democrat governor, US Senator
Utah elected FDR 4 times...starting in 1932...
1932 - FDR for POTUS, Democrat governor, US Seantors,
1936 - FDR, Democrat governor,
1940 - FDR, Democrat governor, Democrat contol of the Utah legislature
1944 - FDR, Democrat governor, Democrat US Senator, Democrat control of the US Legislature
1948 - Harry Truman was the pick for Utah in 1948... Republican governor but controlling Democrat Legislature...
1956 - In 1956 a Democrat named Romney ran for governor...
1960 - Nixon just snuck past Democrat Kennedy for POTUS in Utah, Democrats continued their control of the Utah Legislature
1964 - Utah went with Johnson in 1964..Democrats won governor, US Senate
1968 - Democrat governor
1972 - Democrat governor
1976 - Carter had a good showing in 1976 but it was about
182,000 to Ford;s 336,000 votes.. Democrat governor,
!978 - Jimmy Earl Carter urges the Morg to change from their racist ways... Bad Karma..
1980 - Utah mormons thrashed those apostate Democrats
1980 - Big comeout for Republicans Reagan 440,000 votes to Carter’s 125,000 votes, EReagon won all 29 counties..Democrat governor but not by much, ..In the US Senaste the Republican won 438,000 votes to 150,000, Utah Legislature Republicans got 57 seats to 18 seats for the Democrats..
1984 - Utah mormons still holding a grudge against Democrats...
1984 - Reagan 470,000 to 155,000 for Democrat Mondale... Republican governor, Utah Legislature Republicans 61 seats Democrats 16 seats...State Senate 23 to 6...
1988 - Republican Bush 429,000 to 208,000 votes, Democrats shut out of everything
1992 - Clinton won the nation but not in Utah...only 25%.. the pther races were a turn around for the Democrats...
Since then both parties have been in and out...
Not because the Democrats have been forgiven...
But becaise more nonmormons who vote independant of a controlling religious institution have moved into Utah
My grandmother was born into a Mormon family, though she later left the church, and was a Roosevelt Democrat until her last breath.
Ya know but in some funny way your arguments about abortion have some merit...
Mormons in Utah are more concerned about same sex marriage and gay rights amongst adults who can defend themselves and fight back than they are about the barbaric deaths of millions of unborn babies who are defenceless...
Please name the mormons who have fought as hard for the unborn as they have against the gays ???
Who march on January 22, who speak out publically against abortion, who have included pro-life heavily in their political platforms or have voted against abortion while they were in office...
Any ???
Is it a non-issue ???
During 2008 I was told by mormons that I was a “one issue” voter because I had pro-life at the top of my list when looking at the candidates...
Those same mormons were aggressively against the gays, but that was different...according to them..
As long as one was anti-gay, it was OK to be pro- abortion, or “choice” or newly “evolved” into the pro-life movement...
Onny being pro-life was considered to make one a “one issue” voter..
Of course their rhetoric was all wrapped up in idolization of Romney and his 40 years of abortion pushing...
No...Children should never be used for political purposes.
And...I am not talking about doing things in a “good” way. For instance, If the Dems are planning an event, the conservative mole can get the information out on the Internet. The conservative spy ( or mole) can leak e-mails and memos. They can post things anonymously on YouTube...etc. They can work with conservative organizations in a way that will fatally embarrass the Marxist organization.
Too many conservatives ( Christian government teachers are especially guilty) work for Marxist dominated organizations and then turn around and promote the godless Marxist cause. No, the purpose for joining these organizations is for laying figurative landmines, spying, and to direct the Marxist organization to ends that further the conservative cause. If the conservative isn't doing this, then the are working against conservatism, not for it.
Some organization might be open to reform. For instance, if we got enough conservatives on the boards of some foundations like the Ford Foundation or Annenburg Foundation, the boards of colleges and universities, we could do some real good.
Other institutions are fundamentally socialistic at their very core. Government schools are an example. These organizations can't be reformed. They must be eliminated. If a conservative is involved in an institution that is fundamentally socialistic, the constant goal before them is the complete disintegration of that institution.
Now we get to some meat. King Benjamin, the Savior and other Christian leaders through the ages have decreed that Society has a responsibility to care for the less fortunate. It has never been stated that the State should confiscate from anyone to give to anyone else. This is an individual responsibility with individual accountability to the Savior. It’s fine to preach charity and promote charity but when you implement welfare funded by manditory takings it’s no longer charity. Not only does this destroy the agency of the ‘giver’ but it also denies him the blessings a charitable donation would ensue. Rather than producing empathy and love in both the giver and the recipient, you get distrust and resentment. Those are not gospel principles.

Just WOW
Frankly, I don't think there's a dime's worth of difference between the Donkeys and the Elephants these days, at least as concerns elected officials. People need to come down on the side of what is right and what is Constitutional. The two parties can both get lost, as far as I'm concerned anymore.
I’ve never read in either the New Testament or the Book of Mormon where Jesus advocated using the power of the State ( Roman legion and armed forces, courts, law enforcement with weapons) to implement or carry out his teachings.
Excuse me? (and believe me, I’m being extremely charitable here)
Liberals wouldn’t know the truth if it hit them in the face. They live in lies.
Therein is the problem. The lies of his father used for indoctrination ultimately continue with his lies today.
