Aren't Mormons supposed to be the most conservative most conservative religious group?

This is choice....thanks for the laugh!

[Mr. Jazzy]

Maybe they meant “Moron Of The Year”.

This is just to rich! LOL

Would’ve been even funnier if they voted him the Most Pro-Negro Mormon of 2009.

if I was a mormon I would have picked glen beck because he is one of the few in this country that is actually doing something to save it and making a difference...

That’s what I thought it said at first glance...

[svcw]

Wonder why they didn’t choose Mitt Romney? (Even writing that makes me laugh.)

[dfwgator]

There’s one too many “M’s” there.

I think Satan believes Harry Reid and Tim Kaine are brothers or something .

For a barrel full of laughs, just read the comments section at the site of origin for the article, Times & Seasons.

In related news, Gallup just named Mormons as the most conservative religious group in the US.

I've never heard of these bloggers. Apparently, neither have most Mormons.

Is someone here actually trying to say this group represents most Mormons?

That was the first thought that went thru my mind too. If this was true, then Beck should have gotten the nod.

Reading the comments............This is great. Thanks Times and Seasons for giving voice to the disparate voices in Mormonism.

Let them tear each other apart for all the world to see. It’s pretty fantastic!

The criminal enterprise party will do anything to keep Harry 'the seed' in office, including manipulate Mormon propaganda. It is despicable and quite out of Mormon conservative character to praise the undertaker!

They could be members but could not hold the LDS “priesthood” (which is required for salvation) until 1978.

1978 was when mormons allowed blacks to become priests. They could attend mormon churchs before. The importance of priesthood has to do with the mormon doctrine that man can become a god. However, the only way they can get there is to become a priest and be allowed into their temples to perform "sacred" (read secret) ceremonies and endowments. Before this, at best according to mormon teaching, the blacks would be servants of these white mormon gods.

However, the mormon scriptures they based this racist doctrine are still in print and not revoked -NOR has the Lds president offered an apology for the practice.
