Except for his unfortunate go along to get along support of TARP, bailouts, stimulus spending and the increased credit limit, etc, Ryan is a pretty good choice. Probably the best choice of the RINOS that were on Romney's short list. I support Ryan for the vice presidency. Wish he were at the top of the ticket, though.
But I still cannot and will not support the grand father of ObamaCare. Romney still loves and brags about his bastard brainchild, RomneyCare, even today when he knows what an anti-liberty socialist POS it is.
And the fact that he advocated that abortion should be safe and legal in America for over three decades of his adult lifetime and even advocated that Roe v Wade should be supported and sustained as settled law precludes any consideration whatsoever by this pro-life Christian for Myth Romney for the presidency.
And the fact that he boasted that he would be better for "gay rights" than Ted Kennedy, and proved it just increases my resistance.
That, and his penchant for gun control, his continuing support for global warming, gays in the scouts, gays in the military, and his record of appointing liberal judges makes it all but impossible for me to support him.
Lastly, we're having a bit of changeover on our moderator staff. At least two moderators resigned this afternoon after I flatly refused to rein in a so-called anti-Mormon "bigot" on FR. Well, if being in opposition to false prophets and false prophecy makes a Christian believer a bigot, then I guess I'm a bigot. I've posted before that I flat do not believe that the Book of Mormon is the true word of God. Nor do I believe that Joseph Smith was a prophet of God. The Christian bible warns us to be weary of false prophets and that I am. Romney being the presumptive Republican nominee does not change that fact.
And I’ve stated my reason many times why I will not stop Christians from criticizing Joe Smith and his works of fiction.
Thanks

Oh, that was friendly. /s
As I have posted on this thread, you are in denial. You’re ignoring the facts on the ground, such as the FACT that Jesus was put to death for claiming equality with God. Even his enemies acknowledged the claim. The mormons deny that Jesus is God Himself, and you drive straight up this schism to claim victimhood for such a cult. Then you deflect questions about your own faith and go out of your way to misread posts so you can cause trouble. Your purpose here on this thread is to sow discord. Obama thanks you for your efforts at sowing discord among conservatives on this conservative website.
So happy you have been healed...stage 2 here, in remission as of 7/2010. Praise God and may he continue to bless you.
Who the hell are you, newb? Jeff has walked the walk and is a better man than you will ever hope to be.
I suggest you move to the Religion Forum and start a new thread beginning with your knowledge of mormonism.
***blank threads are not allowed
Why thank you Miss Foxx.
And we don’t whine about it, ;-).
So does this mean you are one of the mods who "resigned"?
With your bias towards mormonism, you shouldn't have been in that position to begin with.
Were you the "friendly moderator" restornu kept referring to?
As they should be. I have absolutely no problem with Mormons. Just don’t believe in Joe Smith or his works.
That would answer a lot.
Totally, I can smell you through the computer screen.
Mormons are generally peaceful and socially Conservative
Then how do explain the almost monolithic support or the likes of Reid, Romney, Hatch and the like.
Mormonism is not socially conservative at its foundation, so either you know nothing about Mormonism or you are basing your view on Mormonism from that nice guy down the street.
The Salt Lake LDS Corporation has done a great job with its public relations, Mormonism is not what it appears to be. (Yes, I do know Mormonism by family and friends (some who stay some who have escaped)
There are other religions that have been called cults such as Christian Science, Jehovah’s Witnesses,Worldwide Church of God,Unity School of Christianity or Scientology that do not have to take the constant assault you allow on MormonISM.
***If a large contingent of one of these cults started pushing their wares on Free Republic, we would see the same response.
Hate has a smell anyone can recognize.
***Did Jesus have the smell of hate when he confronted the false teachers of His day, calling them ‘vipers’ and “Sons of the Devil”?
How cute.
Of course you may not have recognized the information about Mormonism on the Religion Forum is from Mormon sources.
Yet, then again may facts don’t interest you.
Actually you do have a problem with Mormons by allowing scat flingers to run wild on your forum. What has gone on is way beyond criticism.
I think we know the answer to that one.
Well, what goes on regarding many topics of discussion on FR go way beyond criticism. Ever read a thread on Sarah Palin?
Sometimes we have to let the discussion run its course.
“That is why it is important to read the true Word of G-d as given to Moses... the original, often imitated, but still around a lot longer than anything else... The Torah!
So again... Since you still haven’t answered... Do your beliefs match up to the Noahide laws?”
We have it too, but we understand it.
My personal problem with what you, and the Religion Moderator, are doing is singling out Mormonism for special abuse.
For instance, Mormons are not allowed to have “ecumenical” and “caucus” protections on the Religion Forum. If there are individual Mormons who misbehave they individually should be sanctioned. If others repeat the bad actions, them too. The categorical ban is wrong.”
I don’t know the reasons why it is banned, but I imagine number one it would cause a lot of problems since most people do not take kindly to a religious cult being promoted . I don’t see any Scientologist Ecumenical threads around. Do you?
