That wasn’t addressed to you...unless you are using an alias.
Working in Utah long time ago, I made mistake of accepting a ride back to town with a friendly LDS fellow worker. I found out his friendspip was just to get chance to try to convert me. I have kept distance from LDS people ever since.
Good people but keep your distance.
“Vote for Romney and you kill Conservatism.”
Don’t vote and you support Fascism.
“As a Catholic who is totally put off by the tenets of the Mormon religion”
It is interesting that this exact statement would be, and frequently is, made by many Born Again Christian Protestants. Living in a Catholic city I find many protestants from other area feel this way. It makes your complete statement extremely sensible to me and I wholeheartedly agree.
The election is on the 6th.
Amen!
Also looked at your blog - incredible work. Such a relief from the world of man - I have been sitting here enjoying your work - LOVE the little pine marten peeking into my PC - I want to be able to come back and browse - the photos are spirit lifting...but I can't ‘shortcut’ your site - I ‘registered’ thinking that would do it - but find I signed up for a blog of my own instead! arrgg - don't need one.
Your wolves = you capture them so in character. I have a Shiba Inu - breed goes back 4,000 yrs - looks like a small wolf.
Some of y our landscapes are ethereal - I'm a painter but your photos could not be improved on by an artist. They stand alone.
I'm going to shortcut this thread - so’s I can get to your blog through ‘the back door’
that way, I'll also have your post on Mormons. I pray there are more level headed REAL Christians that will be able to think for themselves...It distresses me that there are so many in FR, of all places, that so eaten up with hatred for Mormons that they loose their own Christianity. Self-righteousness is not Christian.
“So RaisingCain, you prefer Obama?”
What does that have to do with the cult of Mormonism?
“I see how that can be proven of Dingy Harry, which is noted and taken into account in the piece, and Hatch is undoubtedly skewing the numbers, but how does this bear on Romney? He has no legislative body history of voting. Or do you know something no one else is aware of? His history of executive as Governor would have no effect on this number.”
Mittens signed far left legislation into law and cheered for Leftist projects, such as global warming, cap and trade, universal healthcare, etc etc. Even RomneyCare was actually designed by a socialist member of the DSA, Obama’s old club. Check Trevour Loudon’s New Zeal blog for that story. That same guy went on to help Obama build ObamaCare.
“Let Obama back in and conservatism will be moot.
Socialist countries don’t allow conservatism.”
No kidding. How do you think we got Romney, the most far left member of the Republican party to run for President? It’s like Hillary Clinton vs Obama at this point.
“Living in Idaho I interact with many Mormons. I don’t agree with all of their religious beliefs but I certainly feel more comfortable with their views on the importance of family and living virtuous lives than with the views of libtard members of ANY major religion. I wish more Freepers would try even a little bit to understand this. They ARE NOT mudslimes for God’s sake - they are patriotic Americans!”
It is a myth though. A fantastical, surface level assumption based on no idea of what Mormonism actually is and teaches. This is like praising the Jehovah’s Witnesses or the Scientologists for their refusal to take prescription psychiatric medicines. Once you look deeper, the only rational response is to be horrified.
“It doesn’t matter now how he got to the top of the mountain, as I stated in the article, Romney was my last choice but today he is our only choice. “
If that is the case, why are you trying to pimp for the cult of Mormonism in order to make him acceptable? It’s an affront to truth and all the things we are supposed to stand for. We are not relativists.
it’s his thread - he has right to opine - go to bed
I don’t know what you ARE but I know what youe AREN’t - well, I take that back - I DO know what you are, tho’ you may not.
You are a ChristianINO
“I don’t know what you ARE but I know what youe AREN’t - well, I take that back - I DO know what you are, tho’ you may not.

Because I won’t lie or be silent about Mormonism?
Mitten’s Mormonism doesn’t change the fact that as Gov. he did everything that is anti-conservative and zealously pursued everything that is socially radical.
If he did not have a governing record of a social (baby killing, homosex legal and social dominiance, anti-second amendment...) and economic (tax raising, socialized medicine) “progressive”, and he presented himself as a conservative, I would have considered him. I don’t vote for radicals. Never have, never will.
You compare apples to oranges and use no logic. Legislative votes in Congress do NOT equate to state level executive decisions.
“it’s his thread - he has right to opine - go to bed”
It’s OUR thread...and I have a right to opine. Thanks, sheriff, but I’ll take to bed when I’ve a mind to...comprende?
“You compare apples to oranges and use no logic. Legislative votes in Congress do NOT equate to state level executive decisions.”
I have no idea what you’re even arguing about. The claim in the article was that Mormon politicians are super conservative. This is untrue of the three I mentioned, especially Mitt Romney, whether he was in congress or signing or promoting leftist legislation in his state.
Me, too.
Beautiful photography!
