Can we please keep comments about the Mormon faith off the political discussion threads?

one man's opinion...

[ken5050]

As we enter the GOP primary season, I'm starting to notice more and more an annoying trend here in FR. It seems as though everytime there's an article, or someone posts a comment about Romney, either pro or con, it nearly always devolves into an extended, and acrimonious discussion about the Mormon faith. Those who defend it, and those who, for whatever reasons, can't abide it, both sides seem determined to wage an "end of times" batte on all the FR threads. Frankly, I'm tired of it, and just wish it would stop. I think that probably 99% of others here feel the same way.

...I couldn't get a word in edgewise ...

HA ha!

You are either LYING or are a Master of exaggeration!

You, of the multi page essays, are trying to make ME look bad by what I've posted?

You got that “answer the question that SHOULD have been asked” down to an art!

[Elsie]

Oh, you want me to get banned for expressing my opinion ...

I DO?

IMHO, you not only won't shed a tear if I get banned, you'd love to be a part of it happening, but that's just my opinion.

Opine away if you wish; but we of the Flying Inman Group NEED MORMONs to post on FR (and anywhere else, too!)

When the WORLD sees how pathetic their thought processes are...

PD's gone,
Old Mountain Man's gone,
Restornu has willed herself away from these topics,

Szonian TRIED to resist, but we got HIM to cross over to the Dark Side (we have cookies),

Sentinel was snatched from the flames...

I could go on, but I think you get the picture.

JR is kind of a special case, if everyone pinged him every time he was mentioned, he'd never have time to read all the pings, let alone respond.

You've hacked into his Appointment Calendar?

Cool!

Go run in your own rabbit hole; MORMON!

We are not wasting OUR time on YOUR silly requests.

Which explains why I often don't respond to your voluminous vacuous posts.

Speaking of redemption and murder, I’ve yet to see Romney fall down on his knees before God and country to beg for forgiveness for all the innocent babies he allowed to be murdered during his “pro-choice” watch as co-governor (along with Ted Kennedy) of Massachusetts.

Actually, I am not as concerned with Mitt's eternal soul for what he allowed to happen and the bargain he made to get elected as I am with the judgment that it shows him having to make it. I'm not trying to find an angel to run government, Diogenes is still out there with his lantern. I'm looking for a conservative to run government according to conservative principles.

Milton Freedman on Donahue in 1979 on Socialism Vs. Capitalism

If we just had a candidate who would speak and believe as Milton Freedman does here, I'd be ecstatically, enthusiastically supporting them, regardless of their religious affiliation... We don't have that person.

And now, again thanks to Romney’s pushing it as a “Republican” on Massachusetts, we have his national socialist health care system complete with tax payer funded abortion.

Reagan's speech on Healthcare I miss this giant among men (Reagan). The world could use more men with his understanding and convictions. The "Public Option" is really the Socialist option. Never has a country been taken over by either Socialism or Fascism but the government "socialized" medicine as a method to control the populace. Have we learned nothing? Socialized medicine is freedom's suicide and the abortions it would support are an abomination before God.

Romney is a complete ass!! (said without hate, just descriptive)

IMHO, all God's creations have some merit or purpose, and all God's children have some redeeming value.

Mitt is a great business man, he's made a lot of money. As far as I know Mitt has always paid his taxes. Mitt was a lousy conservative, and worse a lousy conservative politician. IMHO, He should stick with what he's good at.

(and being a man with no fifty cent word vocabulary, I choose to use short descriptive two bit words to make my meaning perfectly clear to the asses among us).

I don't think the size of ones vocabulary is a true measure of his intellect, or of the impact he can have. I have a large vocabulary (Not sure what dollar value to assign to it...) That does not mean my opinion is better or more impactful than someone with a simpler vocabulary. In my experience, large words often obscure meaning rather than clarify.

Jim, I have ALWAYS applauded the stated purpose of FR, while I abhor how it has become a haven for bashing any(all?) faith(s).

IMHO, The spirit that descends upon someone who is bashing another religion is not of God.

Your problem with the FR you abhor has been solved.

[DeoVindiceSicSemperTyrannis]

Great Zot!

[RnMomof7]

Bingo!!

[Elsie]

Which explains why I often don't respond to your voluminous vacuous posts.

And when you do; it's not to 'respond', but to wander off in your OWN direction.

You'd make a GOOD politician; for you never really SAY anything yet get to be on both sides of the fence.

There was a lingering smell of brimstone in the little twisty passages; all alike...

NOW whom shall I play with?

I may as well go outside and cut the grass!
