This is off topic just a bit but you've got to read this. What passes for a catholic now a days, my word. ( And this isn't just a swipe at Catholics, every denomination has this problem and it's become epidemic. Christianity is being made into some wishy washy hippy love the world religion. ) Read how this guy views Jesus. I was shocked.

What an interesting article. Christians tend to be child-like, and atheists are so intelligent.

One encouraging thing in this is that the guy claims that his faith is evolving. I’m not hopeful that it will evolve to the point of a better understanding, but I suppose anything is possible.

So? Obama used to be a Muslim. Does religion only matter for Republicans?

Because his mother joined the LDS church while in Vegas and she drug the kids along. (period).

The church is free to list anyone who enters their doors as being on their roles. Go to any church in this country and look at the total roles and then do a head count over several weeks and the two numbers are nowhere near the same.

WHEN are you Freeps who HATE Mormons gonna present us not so enlightened Christians as to EXACTLY what the "THREAT" (DOCUMENTED please with "Sources") is to our Republic which this religion (and by association Mittens) poses....ah, other than the 155 year old "Mountain Meadows Massacre?"

AND, how is it that those same people who HATE Mitt AND Mormons, NEVER, EVER, EVER, have anything to say about the "Religion of Pieces" or Dear Leader's embrace, defense and support thereof???

MEANWHILE......what say you about this???

Mmmm, lets see now, who is more of a "threat" to the safety and security of the United States among these 2?

capt.photo_1245188299465-1-0 Mitt-Romney-2756

And of these 2, which is more dangerous to our survival?

th 174678_178612982172493_29733_n

The Muslim Brotherhood Agenda as outlined in 1991 in Phildelphia:

The process of settlement [of Islam in the United States] is a "Civilization-Jihadist" process with all the word means.

The Ikhwan must understand that all their work in America
is a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within
and "sabotaging" their miserable house by their hands
and the hands of the believers
so that it is eliminated and God's religion is made victorious over all religions.

Without this level of understanding, we are not up to this challenge and have not prepared ourselves for Jihad yet. It is a Muslim's destiny to perform Jihad and work wherever he is and wherever he lands until the final hour comes, and there is no escape from that destiny except for those who choose to slack.

Though we are all aware of Obama's proclivity towards appeasing Islam and Islamic Republics; his negotiating with our enemies (Taliban); his release of captured Terrorists; his support of the "Arab Spring" in the ME which has led to the takeover of those countries by Radical Islamists; etc, many are not aware of what he has done to facilitate their (Islamists) acceptance and appointment to positions of "trust" within our own Government

Here are but 6 of those individuals:

03hussain
Rashad Hussain

sk.kifa
Kifa Mustapha

Mohamed_Elibiary

Momamed Elibiary

huma

Huma Abedin

dalia-mogahed

Daliah Mogahed

ImamMagid-TN

Mohamed Magid

Islam is a frontal attack on Christianity and Judaism and its time we understood this threat and called it what it is. We are not in a “war on terror”, which so many politically correct politicians would have us believe.

The whole world is, and has been for 1,400 years, in a WAR AGAINST ISLAM! If we do not stand up against this cancerous enemy, whose ultimate goal is to bring the entire world into submission to Islam and have all people worship none but Allah, then Western Civilization and human freedom as we know it will soon cease to exist.

America faces in addition to the threat of violent jihad another, even more toxic danger – a stealthy and pre-violent form of warfare aimed at destroying our constitutional form of democratic government and free society. The Muslim Brotherhood is the prime-mover behind this seditious campaign, which it calls “civilization jihad.”

For a detailed description of who these individuals pictured above are, their goals and what damage they have done and the real threat they pose, see the following:

Muslim Brotherhood in America Part 8: Team Obama and the Islamists

IF after viewing this video, one does not come away with the resolve to do whatever it takes to defeat Barack Hussein Obama, then I worry about the future of our Great Republic.

PS: One should at least bookmark this most enlightening, informative, well researched and documented 10-part Series by Frank Gaffney (Muslim Brotherhood in America) and watch all of it as soon as time permits.

BRITAIN G20 PALACE

“I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.”

from page 261 of the paperback edition of “The Audacity of Hope.

All it takes for .....

capt.photo_1245188299465-1-0 obama-rip-constitution

.....EVIL....

..... to triumph is for good men to do nothing.......!"

....you know, like staying home or writing in someone's name which is the same thing as affirmatively, voting for the closest most of us will ever come to WITNESSING PURE EVIL while still alive...Barack, Barry, Hussein, Soetoro, Obama.

"Oh yeah, we'll stand on 'PRINCIPLES' and show them what's what, then in 2016, we will really, REALLY, work to elect a true Conservative....."

Yeah, right, provided there is still a United States of America left as we used to know it.

Since he isn’t constitutionally eligible I don’t see how this matters.
You are right. He's not eligible, so it doesn't matter.

Nominating someone who is ineligible, will only help Obama.

Would "secret Mormon" be as politically damaging as "secret Muslim"?

Only if the Mormons had flown planes into the WTC and Pentagon.

If he chose it when so very young, eight years old, then within five years decided to leave it, I think that’s the story.

He left it.

What part of that is a mark against him?

I say that not to issue an attack on Mormonism here, but rather for those who obviously dislike/oppose Mormonism, why are you holding it against him, when he CHOSE to leave??

Heck, Christ was a Human for a brief period and I still love Him...

It's beyond me why some of the tripe that gets posted here isn't relegated to a "Who the heck cares" section.

He isn’t a Mormon.

He left Mormonism.

He is a Catholic.

Wake up.

"Well I would not vote for one Mormon.. certainly not 2."

What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

The same sort of "logic" required to call Rubio a Mormon "proves" that all the people who claim they're no longer Catholic but who were baptized as a Catholic when they were a child are still Catholic and can never change that fact.

So, can you vote for someone who now says they're a Baptist but who was baptized into the Catholic Church as a child?
