What is wrong with you people? Give credit where credit’s due. Don’t be such soulless, heartless jerks. This thread has NOTHING to do with Boehner being in leadership. Nothing.

STRONGLY DISAGREE!
She’s all talk
No action
Low energy
Incompetent
A loser
She and Boehner should share a box of Kleenex
I could go on
I agree. What’s happening with PP is nearly indescribable in it’s ghoulish horror. My Dem family members think I’m either making stuff up, (which they are too apathetic to verify) or just plain being partisan.
The will, indeed, the demand by many Americans to remain ignorant of these inhuman deeds is breathtaking.
Actually, this is very much a Right versus Left issue.
But she wears magic underwear.
Pioneer era[edit]
Brigham Young led the LDS Church from 1844 until his death in 1877.
For two years after Smith’s death, conflicts escalated between Mormons and other Illinois residents. To prevent war,[44] Smith had predicted that the church would go to the West and be established in the tops of the Rocky Mountains.[45] Brigham Young took Smith’s advice and led his followers, known in modern times as the Mormon pioneers, to Nebraska and then in 1847 to what became the Utah Territory.[46] As groups (over 60,000) arrived over a period of years, LDS settlers branched out and colonized a large region now known as the Mormon Corridor.
Young incorporated the LDS Church as a legal entity, and initially governed both the church and the state as a theocratic leader. He also publicized the practice of plural marriage,[47] a form of polygamy.
By 1857, tensions had again escalated between Mormons and other Americans, largely as a result of accusations involving polygamy and the theocratic rule of the Utah Territory by Young.[48] The Utah Mormon War ensued from 1857 to 1858, which resulted in the relatively peaceful[49] invasion of Utah by the United States Army, after which Young agreed to step down from power and be replaced by a non-Mormon territorial governor, Alfred Cumming.[50] Nevertheless, the LDS Church still wielded significant political power in the Utah Territory.[51]
At Young’s death in 1877, he was followed by other church presidents, who resisted efforts by the United States Congress to outlaw Mormon polygamous marriages. In 1878, the United States Supreme Court, in Reynolds v. United States, decreed that “religious duty” to engage in plural marriage was not a valid defense to prosecutions for violating state laws against polygamy. Conflict between Mormons and the U.S. government escalated to the point that in 1890, Congress disincorporated the LDS Church and seized most of its assets. Soon thereafter, church president Wilford Woodruff issued a Manifesto that officially suspended the practice.[52] Although this Manifesto did not dissolve existing plural marriages, so that families would not be split apart or damaged, no new polygamous marriages would be performed. Relations with the United States markedly improved after 1890, such that Utah was admitted as a U.S. state in 1896. Relations further improved after 1904, when church president Joseph F. Smith again disavowed polygamy before the United States Congress and issued a “Second Manifesto”, calling for all plural marriages in the church to cease, as they were already against church doctrine since Woodruff issued the Manifesto. Eventually, the church adopted a policy of excommunicating its members found practicing polygamy and today actively distances itself from “fundamentalist” groups still practicing polygamy.[53]
I expect her to give this lip service and then ignore the true fix.
Hasn’t she voted for the continuing resolutions that fully fund Planned Parenthood to this very day? The resolutions that she said she’d fight, but instead climbed onboard with Bohner?
She is a nut case.
