I have great respect for President Bush and believe he was a fine President in many ways. But I still took the time to call or e-mail when I disagreed with him.
Maybe I'm not the type of person you'd classify as a "Bush-bot", but I've been called that many times because I've defended him against the Bush haters we have here on FR. They act as though Bush didn't do a single thing right. What hogwash.
Methinks McNaughton applies his shellacking with too broad a brush.
The South and the Midwest are very large areas, and Romney was actually born in the Midwest. His father was Governor of Michigan in the 1960s.
Mitt won the primary there and came in second in Iowa. So I doubt they really hate Mormons there.
McNaughton's probably more on target about Los Angeles and San Francisco wanting to take Prop. 8 out on the Mormons.
Taliban are conservative too.
And how would LA or San Fran be anymore hostile to a Bishop, or high member of any other main stream religion, or an observant Jew like Lieberman?
Well they wouldn’t be anymore hostile.
Conservatism to Islamofacists and Americans mean completely different things. Taliban would have voted overwhelmingly for Oba Mao in our last election whereas Mormons voted overwhelmingly for Sarah Palin.
I did not support Romney because he is not a conservative. I do take a lot of crap off of supposedly intelligent Freepers because I am a member of the LDS Church.
A bathtub with a fan attached does not a hovercraft make.
yea, that would be a problem if CA was in play for the general or if those gay fascists voted in R primaries.
Terrible your syntax a sentence not make.
The Supreme Court has Mohammad, the Law Giver on it’s facade. Mohammad was seen as an agent of progress against pagan Arabs.
Further there is a lot of Nordic socialism in Mormon thought and cultural recruitment and ideas from up state New York, across the Mid West.
Frankly, Mormon thought, conservatism, radicalism of its core religious thinking is a mess.
I wouldn’t be so sure nor strong about Mormons and conservative thinking if you meant limited government and free enterprise. The very ideas of Nauvoo, and later Utah, are very oppressive with the idea of total Mormon control, through government( amongst other institutions ). Not to mention the close knit, clannish, economics, for better or worse.
One of the things that I think made RomneyCare so attractive to Mitt was his coming from an, to me, smothering, even blood libal in older times, patriartical, elders know best, Nordic, and close set Mormon ideas of the relationship of the individual, the state and the religion. Something the Taliban, Communists, even nice Swedish leftists feel. The foundations are the same, very very close tabs and various group pressures on the individual.
Drat. So you're sayin' my patten application might not go through?
A Jedi master, it does.
Thank You!
Well, you got me...I refused to vote for Romney because he is a Morman...But it didn’t matter...He is a Rino Globalist as well...So he didn’t stand a chance with me...
“It was suggested that being anti-Mormon is the new politically correct anti-semitism given what happened to Romney in Dixie”
Or maybe they just don’t like Taxachusetts liberals.
Actually blacks have a strong dislike for Mormons. They don’t like the fact that the Mormon church did not allow blacks to be Elders until 1978. Also blacks resent Mormons being as GOP as they are Dem.
I used to work in the South Side of Chicago during the 1990’s. When the Chicago Bulls were playing the Utah Jazz for the NBA championship, my black co-workers were saying nasty things about Mormons.
The black problem can't be helped by the fact that for so many years Mitt Romney spread the lie that he and his father had marched with Martin Luther King.
To find out that the story involving the martyred black hero was entirely made up in Mitt's head must have seemed a little vampire like to blacks. Throw that in with the institutional racism of the Mormon organization and it is ugly business.
