I sure hope all conservatives become pragmatic before November 2

Here! Here! Although I knew I would eventually back Romney once he won Wisconsin, I am ready to battle for Romney and Ryan. We need do all we can to make the Ryan budget, America’s budget! Opening the wallet for the first time for Mitt tonight.

Mitt did not “make it to the top of the mountain.” He was put there by the establishment that does not give a rip about the conservative majority in our nation that is desperately trying to push back against the communist overthrow of our nation—and that did not support the RINO Romney (homosexualist supporter, global warmist supporter, socialized medicine supporter, etc.).

Mitt Romney is a liberal. We’ll see what happens in November. “Obama” and his team will perpetrate all the election fraud they can. If “Obama” “wins,” it will be through fraud.

“Just how conservative are Mormon members of Congress? Pretty darn conservative. .... Among Republicans only, Mormons outflank their colleagues, voting conservatively, on average, 94 percent of the time, compared with 73 percent for all other Republicans of the milk toast variety.”

Cripes.

The LDS is one of the most deceptive, morally reprehensible cults in the world. Though, it certainly isn’t the only one, or even the biggest. Where they leave off on drinking coffee and coca cola, they make up for with a culture of institutional deception from the top forced as far as possible to the bottom. Their “family” units are their “glory” and, at the same time, their greatest prison, as Mormon believers are pressured into conforming using such tactics and this false image of righteousness.

It is a soul destroying, individuality destroying religion that convinces its believers that they are god-men who will ascend into heaven and have their own planets and personal worship. They were the Scientology of their day, and they still are the poor man’s Scientology.

As a Catholic who is totally put off by the tenets of the Mormon religion I came some time ago to the realization that as what we call family values and what are actually Christian ways of living have crumbled and withered in the general nominally Christian population, there is one group of people that has faithfully and strenuously retained those values in their daily lives. Somewhere someone once said that God works in mysterious ways.

If the Christian population is abandoning the Christian ways of life- family values and such, He maintains those values in a different place that Christians may recognize them. I do not fear a Mormon's religious beliefs as president and a Mormon's "family values" could only edify us. I have other reasons for not liking Romney and strongly wish he were not the Republican candidate but his religion is far the last and least sensible reason for Christians or Buddhists or Jews or almost any other believers (save Moslems) to oppose him.

Great post for all the reasons you'll hear. It will also elicit contrasts amongst the rational and the vain. I like contrasts, I like to know who is who, so thanks.

Never thought to see such a level piece on Mormons on FR.
Thank you - hope the screeders are asleep.

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.

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.

Terrific post. For many years I lived in the American West where Mormon populations were predominate. I am not Mormon but had many LDS friends and working associates. Best people I have ever known. Like any religious group, Mormons range from the devout to the “Jack Mormon” variety. But I have never understood the hate (for lack of a better word) directed towards them. I think part of it has to do with the reason we find ourselves as a country in the place that we are today. That is culturally, we have given ourselves the permission to walk a secular path of our own making. Mormons for the most part have not done so. The other part is theological and the fault American Christians find with the Book of Mormon and Mormon theology in general. But like the author of this piece, I have to ask does not Christian theology require a faith in the improbable on the part of its adherents as well?

My children are being raised among them, and I couldn't be happier.

There is such a strong anti mormonism sentiment on FR that it has been rather confusing to me. I was raised with a lot of mormons. 2 of my best friends in high school were from devout mormon families and I rather invied their lives. These kids never had a chance to get into any trouble because there just wasn't any idle time left. Every weekend and many week nights were filled with soft ball games, volley ball, dances, dinners, plays, parties, choir practices and performances, study groups. They even had seminary classes at 6 am before school. All of their energy was channeled into something constructive and character building.

My grandmother was in nursing home near their church and the kids my age were routinely in the nursing home visiting the patients and bringing small handmade gifts. Real class acts.

While the religion is not for me the result of strong families is something I've always admired.

I wonder how many here at FR sat on their hands on election day because they hated mormons?
