“1000x harder to deal with than the Mormans were back in the day.”

I do not understand your position on “dealing with the Mormons.” It all boils down to freedom of religion and the liberty to vote for what ever candidate one chooses. How were the “Mormons dealt with?” Run out of their legally owned homes, farms, businesses, in the middle of winter with only what they could carry. Many died from exposure (women, elderly and children). At least they were/are patriotic and American Citizens!!!!! Many of their forefathers fought in the Revolutionary War. Gee, such routine ignoring of the Constitution was as common then as now!
Thanks /s

While the reactions by the states and fed gov (Buchanan) were way out of line, the early LDS weren’t exactly playing ball with respect to the Constitution. That’s what I was referring to, and that’s why I used a multiplier of “1000x harder.”

No offense was meant, and I surely wasn’t talking about today’s Mormans.
