Russia’s slide from democratic reforms and its relationships with international peers threaten to undercut the spirit of the Olympic Games it hosts next month, failed presidential nominee Mitt Romney said Sunday.
Romney, who led 2002’s Winter Games in Salt Lake City, said he also worried about security preparations but predicted Russia has done everything it can to prevent violence and to protect athletes at the Sochi games. …

They both suck. It’s like asking who do you like better, Hitler or Stalin.
I’ve noticed that the Mormon-bashers on here also bash many branches of Christianity that they disagree with. And not a peep about Islam out of any of them. They are either genuine Christian radicals or false-flag liberals.
I wouldn’t ask that question.
But since you knew where you stood with both Hitler and Stalin, that’s not an accurate comparison anyhow, with all due respect.
Obama isn't a muslim. He's a communist. Communists despise and ridicule religion, despite their pretending otherwise. But I agree, a Mormon would certainly be better than a muslim or communist.
I’ve been saying it for a while....Dems have infiltrated deeply into FR. The constant barrage against the Repub Party and just about every Republican of stature gives me grave doubt about many who have been with FR for many years.
The first Greek Olypians were gay, on the down low, as is known in classical literature. So, what are you really saying here mitt?
The GOP do enough of that themselves.
Putin is an old KGB guy. You can’t believe everything he says. The Soviet KGB and their modern day counterpart, the FSB, were masters at the game of deception.
Yep.
I doubt that.
hmm...interesting
You don’t think Obama is a Muslim? His father was a Muslim. His step-father was a Muslim. He was raised a Muslim. He went to a Muslim school. And you think he is a Christian?
Little barry bastard boy is a malignant narcissist. His only religion is himself. No god or any religion could compete with such sickness as worship of self. It is probably the central flaw in satan and is very pronounced in his powerful minions.
ETL said that Obama is a COMMUNIST. Communists hate or look down on religion.
Obama's "religion" is what he studied under Jeremiah Wright for over 20 years. Except it's really not a religion at all, but rather something communists concocted decades ago as a way of promoting communism through the church.

WRIGHT: If you're not going to talk about theology in context, if you're not going to talk about liberation theology that came out of the '60s, systematized black liberation theology that started with Jim Cone in 1968 and the writings of Cone and the writings of Dwight Hopkins and the writings of womynist theologians and Asian theologians and Hispanic theologians, then you can't talk about the black value system.

WRIGHT: Do you know liberation theology, sir?

Obama's Church: Gospel of Hate

In March of 2007, FOX News host Sean Hannity had engaged Obama’s pastor in a heated interview about his Church’s teachings. For many viewers, the ensuing shouting match was their first exposure to "Black Liberation Theology"...
Like the pro-communist Liberation Theology that swept Central America in the 1980s and was repeatedly condemned by Pope John Paul II, Black Liberation Theology combines warmed-over 1960s vintage Marxism with carefully distorted biblical passages. However, in contrast to traditional Marxism, it emphasizes race rather than class. The Christian notion of "salvation" in the afterlife is superseded by "liberation" on earth, courtesy of the establishment of a socialist utopia.

Catholics for Marx [Liberation Theology]
By Fr. Robert Sirico
FrontPageMagazine.com | Thursday, June 03, 2004
In the days when the Superpowers were locked in a Cold War, Latin America seethed with revolution, and millions lived behind an iron curtain, a group of theologians concocted a novel idea within the history of Christianity. They proposed to combine the teachings of Jesus with the teachings of Marx as a way of justifying violent revolution to overthrow the economics of capitalism.
The Gospels were re-rendered not as doctrine impacting on the human soul but rather as windows into the historical dialectic of class struggle. These "liberation theologians" saw every biblical criticism of the rich as a mandate to expropriate the expropriating owners of capital, and every expression of compassion for the poor as a call for an uprising by the proletarian class of peasants and workers.

The Real Story Behind Rev. Wright's Controversial Black Liberation Theology Doctrine
Monday , May 5, 2008
FoxNews/Hannity's America
[special Friday night edition--original airdate May 2, 2008]
(some key excerpts)
["(Jose) Diaz-Balart is the son of Rafael Diaz-Balart y Guitierrez (a former Cuban politician). He has three bothers, Rafael Diaz-Balart (a banker), Mario Diaz-Balart (a US Congressman) and Lincoln Diaz-Balart (also a US Congressman). His aunt, Mirta Diaz-Balart, was Fidel Castro's first wife."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jose_Diaz-Balart]
JOSE DIAZ-BALART, TELEMUNDO NETWORK: "Liberation theology in Nicaragua in the mid-1980's was a pro-Sandinista, pro-Marxist, anti-U.S., anti-Catholic Church movement. That's it. No ifs, ands, or buts. His church apparently supported, in the mid-'80s in Nicaragua, groups that supported the Sandinista dictatorships and that were opposed to the Contras whose reason for being was calling for elections. That's all I know. I was there.
I saw the churches in Nicaragua that he spoke of, and the churches were churches that talked about the need for violent revolution and I remember clearly one of the major churches in Managua where the Jesus Christ on the altar was not Jesus Christ, he was a Sandinista soldier, and the priests talked about the corruption of the West, talked about the need for revolution everywhere, and talked about 'the evil empire' which was the United States of America."
REV. BOB SCHENCK, NATIONAL CLERGY COUNCIL: "it's based in Marxism. At the core of his [Wright's] theology is really an anti-Christian understanding of God, and as part of a long history of individuals who actually advocate using violence in overthrowing those they perceive to be oppressing them, even acts of murder have been defended by followers of liberation theology. That's very, very dangerous."
SCHENCK: "I was actually the only person escorted to Dr. Wright. He asked to see me, and I simply welcomed him to Washington, and then I said Dr. Wright, I want to bring you a warning: your embrace of Marxist liberation theology. It is contrary to the Gospel, and you need, sir, to abandon it. And at that he dropped the handshake and made it clear that he was not in the mood to dialogue on that point."

The presence of Marxism in liberation theology is well-known, at least to seminarians who are critical readers. Practically every seminarian reads Gustavo Gutierrez’s Theology of Liberation at some point, but most laypeople find it hard to believe that there could have been (and continues to be) a widespread attempt to hybridize Christian theology and Marxism.
Marxist regimes obviously benefitted from the spread of liberation theology in the churches. Still, I was not aware of any connections between liberation theology and communist clandestine organizations until now.
A new article by Robert D. Chapman in the International Journal of Intelligence and Counterintelligence begins to connect some dots. In “The Church in Revolution,” Chapman, “a retired operations officer in the Clandestine Services Division of the Central Intelligence Agency,” argues that the KGB infiltrated the Russian Orthodox Church through Metropolitan Nikodim, the Russian Orthodoxy’s second-ranking prelate. Nikodim was a proponent of liberation theology. Nikodim was active in the otherwise-Protestant World Council of Churches. And the WCC, of course, became an actively left-wing organization during the last half of the 20th century.
Chapman also details the growth of liberation theology in Latin America—and the Vatican’s struggles with it—and the growth of black liberation theology in the United States. Prominent proponents of the latter include James Cone and Rev. Jeremiah Wright.
The arguments of liberation theologians should be challenged on their merits. The source of an argument, after all, doesn’t establish its truth or falsity. Still, it’s interesting to learn that liberation theology may have been, at least in part, a project of the KGB.
Unfortunately, this isn’t just history. Chapman concludes ominously:
"the Theology of Liberation doctrine is one of the most enduring and powerful to emerge from the KGB’s headquarters. The doctrine asks the poor and downtrodden to revolt and form a Communist government, not in the name of Marx or Lenin, but in continuing the work of Jesus Christ, a revolutionary who opposed economic and social discrimination.
A friend of mine, a head of Catholic social services in my area and formerly a priest, is a liberation theologian. He has made a number of humanitarian trips to Central America and told me, ‘‘liberation theology is alive and well.’’ The same can be said of its sibling in the United States [ie, Black Liberation Theology]."

since you seem to want a Mormon in the White House, regardless of whether that Mormon is a Conservative or a liberal, you might be delighted to know that Obama IS a Mormon due to their unBiblical beliefs..
In June 2008 the Mormons exercised their pagan ritual of “dead dunking” baptism of the dead on lifetime atheist Stanley Ann Dunham, the mother of Barak Obama..
they further married her to Barak Obama Senior the father of Barak, Jr, in a temple wedding and bestowed on her the highest honors that Mormonism affords their members, among them the much coveted so called “2nd anointing” which only members in high standing like Willard Mitt Romney and his wife Ann have ever attained too..
(that one gives the bearer the right to sin without it being called sin or something)
after Stanley Ann have received (for all time and forever) these “plain and precious” top echelon considerations, she was then “sealed” to her 2 children, Barak Obama and his sister..
again for all time..
thus making them Mormons too..
so Barak Obama is a Mormon..
Note. although these are highly cherished beliefs of the Mormons to make a dead person a Mormon after they have died, there is no way to revert that person or their “sealed” relations back to the pre-Mormon religious status..
Thus you have your Mormon president ...
be happy with him...
after all he is the first black Mormon president ..
and Joseph Smith and Brigham Young must be overjoyed with happiness...
I know that Willard has a habit of crying over any changes to the racism err black problem err subject err well the beliefs of the Mormons about black skinned people..
