Intel: Lefties plan to drop anti-Mormon propaganda at mega-churches weekend before the election

I was on a conference call yesterday regarding intelligence gathered from a highly placed source that liberal Obama surrogates are planning to target Evangelical mega-church parking lots with bigoted anti-Mormon flyers the final weekend before the election in key battleground states like Ohio, Iowa, and Wisconsin. Mega-church pastors are being notified to have parking lot attendants be on the lookout for such a lit drop. But please forward this post to all pastors of both Protestant and Catholic churches, particularly in battleground states. It may surprise you to learn that most of anti-Mormonism is on the LEFT, not the Right. From The American Spectator, April 18: And a Pew poll found that 31% of Democrats and 23% Republicans said they would be less likely to support a candidate if he were Mormon. The poll also found that the more liberal the respondent, the more anti-Mormon they were. Forty-one percent of liberal Democrats said they would be less likely to support a Mormon candidate. From Fox News, June 15: The GOP’s all-important social conservatives may be getting more comfortable with Mitt Romney’s Mormon faith – but liberals are increasingly wary about the candidate’s religion in the run-up to November, according to a new study. The study found anti-Mormon attitudes have increased since Romney’s 2008 presidential bid and are highest among liberal and non-religious voters…. The study found attitudes about Mormonism among Evangelicals has largely remained unchanged since 2007 – when 37% said they were “less likely to vote for a Mormon candidate for president,” compared with 33% this year. However, that sentiment among non-religious voters increased from 21% to 41% over roughly the same period. Among liberal voters, 43% said they were less likely to vote for a Mormon presidential candidate in 2012, compared with 28% in 2007.

"As Greek Orthodox, you probably know that they label Mormonism as a polytheistic, non Christian cult, as do all Protestant denominations and the Roman Catholic church."

So? You might be confusing me with someone who cares about his religion. Hinduism and possibly Taoism would fall into the same category under that definition, too. I wouldn't vote against a Hindu if he and I agreed on political ideology. I'm voting for President, not for Pope. Romney could burn incense to Isis, leave offerings to Athena, give deference to Vishnu, or perform Taoist ancestor worship and I'd still vote for him.

As long as Romney is someone who will actually follow his oath of office, will actually follow, "preserve, protect, and defend" the Constitution, will respect the central concept of Federalism and all that it includes, and take to heart the dictum that government can only be by consent of the governed, I'm satisfied. Call his religion a cult if you wish, but to me the implication that I should therefore not vote for him is a non sequitor, and, frankly, offensive to me.

It was you that gave the impression that you were speaking as a Christian, a Greek Orthodox, that is why I posted back to you in that way.

Hinduism and Taoism were not created to look and sound like Christianity and to hold the bible in one’s hand as the “Christian” bible speaking of “Jesus Christ”, while seducing people into an anti-Christian cult, where they would in time be turned away from the bible and Christianity, and into the Book of Mormon and polytheism, in a gradual, dishonest and deliberate, cult fashion.

Not being the piratical type, there are days when I feel like I should plant a pole in the front yard and fly the "1824" flag that flew at the Alamo, and I'm not even from Texas, nor do I live in Texas. But then, the HOA nazis would object.... Maybe I could raise the flag on the ham radio antenna that this neighborhood would be GLAD to have functioning when things finally go south.

Keynesian economic theory works fine in societies that are not populated with actual people. Apparently, no one told Mr. Keynes that real people react to their new-found situation and change their buying habits to minimize the pain. This is the common mistake politicians make in economic theory, and Liberal politicians make it more frequently than conservatives. People are not static objects that are subject to linear first order equations. We find clever answers to our problems somewhere along the locus of points that describes our personal "path of least pain". That path has variables such as core beliefs (not to be confused with verbal declarations), financial needs, and personal and family goals [incomplete list]. Our minds then analyze that complicated surface equation and then we pursue a path that works for us as individuals. Sorry for drifting this conversation off the advertised path. It happens to me when I contemplate how many of our fellow citizens are willing to flush the Republic down the toilet by voting for more of Caesar's bread and circuses.

I agree. I don't know whether to call it evil or what, how liberalism clouds the mind. I see it in my some of my family members. My brother was once a republican and liked listening to Rush Limbaugh but then he started working for the government, joined the union and now he's a flaming liberal. Perhaps he was never truly conservative, I don't know but watching the transformation is just heartbreaking. And there's no reaching him and others like him.

I guess with my neighbor I was shocked. You see, with my brother and nephews being liberal, they've turned against the family. They'd throw you under the bus as long as it would help Obama or some liberal cause. With my neighbor being Mormon, and Mormons are known for strong family bonds, I wondered if they too would be like my brother? Would they throw family members under the bus for the greater cause? I got my answer a few days ago when my husband told me that the neighbor's wife argues with her father over politics, and it gets heated. Then my heart broke.

I know liberalism creeps into all areas of society but I guess I just hated to see this family be such rabid liberals. I understand how my family members who don't seek God can go astray but how can people who seek and love God also love the support the ideals of liberalism? A friend told me that perhaps they seek God in their own image instead of transforming themselves into God's image... But still it leaves me with more questions.

Sorry for the ramblings... Please pray for this country.
