blame Romney the seditious turncoat

Why? Are Mormons or Utahns incapable of doing anything on their own without orders or help from Mitt Romney?

Mormon superiority attitude at its worst.

Well!!!

You'd feel superior; too; if...


 

MORMON
ATTITUDES OF SUPERIORITY
 

  1. I’m Superior; I have a special gift of the holy Ghost -- you don’t!
  2. I’m Superior; I have God’s true priesthood power -- you don’t!
  3. I’m Superior; I can go in God’s secret Temple -- you can’t!
  4. I’m Superior; I’ve been Endowed with special Gifts and Knowledge -- you’re just normal!
  5. I’m Superior; I’ll have my family with me in heaven -- you’ll be with strangers!
  6. I’m Superior; I’m becoming a God -- you aren’t!
  7. I’m Superior; My women know their place as servants of man and yours don’t.
  8. I’m Superior; YOUR creeds are wrong because they come from man - mine comes from God (you can find each one printed in our Scriptures).
  9. I’m Superior; I don’t HAVE a creed - I’ve got 13 Articles of Faith.
10. I'm Superior; I have 4 "Bibles"-- the standard works (5 if you count the JST) -- you've only got one: in as far as it is translated correctly.
11. I’m Superior; I can lie with impunity about such things as church membership, church growth, church doctrine, church history, church influence, etc. —                           -- You can’t.
12. I’m Superior; I am right (everybody knows) when I say 'evangelical' Christians are lunatics -- 
                           -- You’re a hideous narrow-minded bigot, who is persecuting me by practicing discrimination by saying I'm not a Christian.
13. I'm Superior; I have a testimony about a prophet -- you don't.
14. I'm Superior; I have a Scripture-producing Amos 3:7 prophet -- you don't
15. I’m Superior; I have a Living Prophet who talks to god every day -- you have a dim-witted hireling of Satan who only talks to himself.
16. I'm Superior; I have my calling & election made sure -- you don't.
17. I’m Superior; I have magic underwear to protect me from the bogey man -- you don’t.
18. I’m Superior; I have secret clasps and grips to give the angel so I get admitted to the celestial kingdom -- you don’t ;so you can’t.
19. I'm Superior; I know secret handshake codes for afterlife entrances-- you don't.
20. I’m Superior; I will see Joseph Smith setting on the right hand of GOD, when I get to Mormon heaven, and he will recognize me and judge me favorably                              -- You’re on your own; when you get to wherever you’re going!
21. I’m Superior; I’m going to hie to Kolob -- you’re going to who knows where.
22. I’m Superior; I get to have a harem and act like a celestial stud for time and all eternity -- you don’t.
23. I’m Superior; I have sun stones, moon stones, sky stones, cloud stones, Saturn stones, and the evil eye of Osirus guarding my temple
                            -- You have nothing but a stupid cross.
24. I’m Superior; My church has billions in assets stashed away -- yours has taken a stupid vow of poverty.
25. I'm Superior; Last - we have the power to keep a whole race out of our priesthood if we wanted to reinsert our 148-year legacy  (we ARE still keeping an entire GENDER at bay!)
26.  I'm superior; I have the "higher law" -- everyone else "lives under the "lesser law' because I say so...(over and over).

Amen. Pope Francis is a garden-variety South American Liberation Theology Liberal.
Here in Hawaii about 70% "Catholics" voted for Obama, so I know those 3 wings
of a denomination oh too well.

The Mormons, in my experience, are more close-knit than other denominations,
as evidenced by the nights per week each ward spends at the church for meetings
and activities. The church consumes a large portion of their free time, and so I have
labored under the impression that they vote in lockstep more than other denominations.

We all hope that those who take their faith seriously do indeed vote in lockstep:
against evil, against religious suppression, in favor of life issues, in opposition
to moral rot.

 Improvement Era article from 1945:

When our leaders speak, the thinking has been done. When they propose a plan–it is God’s plan. When they point the way, there is no other which is safe. When they give direction, it should mark the end of controversy. God works in no other way. To think otherwise, without immediate repentance, may cost one his faith, may destroy his testimony, and leave him a stranger to the kingdom of God.

I’d suggest you actually get a few Mormon friends on Facebook and see how many of them are for Trump vs. Egg McMuffin. Yes, they are more close-knit than other denominations. They are also more conservative.

More than enough. And that is a fair enough point. I’m more comfortable with trump’s religion than that of a Mormon, whatever stripe
Still. A Mormon is likely better than a radical secular dem.

Maybe in a political sense; but not in an eternal one.

A Mormon President would give authenticity to a heresy that I could not allow.

Hillary won’t win UT but McMuffin could, especially if Shillery voters decide to vote for him, tactically.

His plan is if the election is very close, no one at 270, Utah votes for him, it goes to the House.

Unlikely but quite possible.
