#1...the "outlawing" of bigamy and polygamy NEVER stopped Mormon polygamy in the 1800s.
I know.
I'm a direct descendent of a Mormon polygamist.
Try reading B. Carmon Hardy's book, Solemn Covenant: THE MORMON POLYGAMOUS PASSAGE -- an excellent book.
Hardy also is descended from Lds polygamists.
Now what did happen is that Utah Territory realized they needed to "deal" with polygamy for a variety of reasons, including statehood ... and their "prophet" claimed it would be dealt with in his 1890 "manifesto."
If you read Hardy's appendix, you'll see he lists about 250 additional plural arrangements done 'tween 1890-1910...'twas 1907 -1910 period in which they finally started getting serious about stopping the solemnizing of additional plural unions.
But did you know that...
...(a) Mormonism did not have a monogamous "prophet" leading them until 1945????
...(b) And -- some of those "unions" that were quietly arranged in the early 1900s were still around until these people died in the early 1960s?
You see, Mormon leaders didn't break up existing polygamous arrangements; and -- as for additional arrangements -- it just went "underground" -- mostly to Mexico...for up to 20 years. (Then it went sideways -- the fLDS -- who are also "Mormon")
You’re an idiot. You’ll be in the same group of navel gazers should (God forbid) Obama win again that pisses and moans about how the Republicans got their asses kicked again and why can’t we ever win the big elections.
It’s because of idiots like you and the others that are more concerned over the fact that Mitt is Mormon and less about what the hell Obama is doing to this country.
You’re helping the Dems and quite frankly Obama appreciates your support.
If you were half as concerned and interested in how to get this Communist/Marxist fraud out of office as you were whether or not Mitt is a false prophet he’d win in a 49 state landslide.
And that goes for everyone here obsessed with this crap...OP included.
No wonder the Dems poke fun at people of faith.
We’ve gone from the website that helped expose “fake but accurate” a combination of the DUmp and a bad episode of the Art Bell show.
And crap like this isn’t helping.
Was Mitt my first choice? No. I was a Cain and Santorum guy.
But as someone pointed out earlier Romney...compared to Obama...is Washington/Reagan/Goldwater wrapped up into one tidy package.
This petty bigoted crap over his Religion is making us look like the unhinged left we normally poke fun at.
Grow the eff up people...there’s more important things at stake.
