Dear FRiends
It really pains me to see some of those vicious anti-Mormons attacks we see on Free Republic disguised under the “freedom of speech. Attacking people based on their Mormon faith is really disgusting and it is an insult to this great forum. People who do not like Governor Mitt Romney based on his positions are free to express their opinion as such, but people who attack him because he is a Mormom should be ashamed of themselves and must not be allowed to do so.
I greatly hope that Free Republic members and moderators will get together and help in stopping this anti-Mormon vitriol, this great Free Republic must not be tainted by these shameless acts.
Do you have a point?
[Yeah, you Cay Cay Cay folks are all alike, until you need us.]
I will take that as an invite to your Rum Cay for a quick belt, I could use one. Don’t think I can do that around Mitt OR Huckleberry if they win though. Guess my only fun when one of the two of them is elected will be whipping myself with a Cat-O-Ninetails to drive out my evil bigoted spirit.
Yea I found Liberty Post before I found FR. Stopped going to Liberty Post years ago. Forgot the place even existed till I went to check it out...then I said “oh yea I remember this crap hole.”
LOL!
Is this about his Mormonism, or his position on abortion?
If it were my Rum Cay, I’d invite you. And I wouldn’t look down on you for sipping a little of the amber nector. I’m a Christian and I’m not convinced drinking in moderation is evil at all. As for the cat of nine tails... well, do as you please. LOL
welcome n00b! Did you join just to support Mitt this season?
Me either, I just never knew how to do it in moderation.
By the way you got the evil reply #666.
Why, thank you. It’s always nice to have someone pray for me. I think everyone should always strive to be as “nice” as possible. Perhaps you disagree. Oh well, if so, there are lots of “Elsie’s” in this world but hopefully the “nice” people have them outnumbered.
Oops... it’s got to be a conspiracy.
Moderation hasn’t always been my strong suit either.
You take care.
Thanks for the welcome, aMorePerfectUnion. No, I am not supporting Mitt. However, it isn’t because he’s a Mormon, it’s because he’s “Mitt Romney” and he just seems like a used car salesman to me. If he manages to actually win in the primaries, I’ll vote for him in the general.
Me too, a good belly laugh ensued!
I am glad that you are with us rather than LP

I can think of much worse vices than an occasional draught. I had a Russian horseradish vodka at a restaurant the other night that was quite interesting. I can’t imagine a world so stiff that you could never taste any liquor. I retired my hair shirt long ago.
Sometimes humor is the best way to handle religious issue.
Just ask my Jewish Brothers!
This is taken verbatim from (the very end) the South Park episode about Mormons.
"Gary: Look, maybe us Mormons do believe in crazy stories that make absolutely no sense, and maybe Joseph Smith did make it all up, but I have a great life. and a great family, and I have the Book of Mormon to thank for that. The truth is, I don't care if Joseph Smith made it all up, because what the church teaches now is loving your family, being nice and helping people. And even though people in this town might think that's stupid, I still choose to believe in it. All I ever did was try to be your friend, Stan, but you're so high and mighty you couldn't look past my religion and just be my friend back. You've got a lot of growing up to do, buddy. Suck my balls. [turns around and walks off. All four boys just look at him in wonder, even Cartman.]"
Cartman: Damn, that kid is cool, huh? [End of All About Mormons?]
“I think everyone should always strive to be as “nice” as possible.”
I prefer to be truthful rather than nice myself. While this is generally quite a pleasant strategy as in when you truly mean to say “It’s a beautiful day and I hope you are enjoying it”, I certainly wouldn’t say that to a Jihadist or the guy shooting up the church just to be nice. Neither would I want to condemn a soul to anguish by telling them how absolutely nice it is that they are getting their inspiration from a guy who was looking into his hat through a common rock. Sometimes being nice is quite cruel.
If Senator Barack Obama becomes President of the USA, will he take the Oath of Office on a koran, or a Bible?
Reason enough. The fact that he is a very recent convert to conservative issues reeks and if nominated he will sash shay back leftwards.
He will not be President but in the theoretical scenario of him being a President he take the Oath of office on the Bible because he is a Christian not a muslim.
Russian horseradish vodka
I’ve never heard of that before. Sounds interesting.
