I'm now wondering why Saundra even posted this essay, much less why she wrote it from such an extreme perspective as the title spittles forth. Perhaps it was destined for BYU class where playing the 'poor us' card is favored with higher grades. It won't play well with the vast conservative masses needed to overcome liberal sycophancy and dead voters.
Saundra, by her own admission on another thread, is a recent convert to the mormon faith, with the attendant fervor of same. I have no doubt that she feels the "burning in the bosom" and is truly aghast at what she is learning on these threads. I stated on an earlier post that IMO the "we're being persecuted" meme is so ingrained in mormons that it has almost become a genetic mutation. It is generally the first and last offense/defense in a debate. Remember generations have been taught that Joseph Smith was a martyr, killed by a mob while being harmlessly locked up. There is generally no mention of the fact that Smith and his companions were armed and shooting back, and he was not thrown in jail for having brought the "true church" to the world.
When the DNC goons such as Begala and Carvile begin their attacks, there will be no debate. There will be no forum moderators. The not-so-palatable facts will be exaggerated, pruned and blared forth on the MSM, tarring not only Romney and the mormons, but every believing Christian even more thoroughly than before.
GreyFoxx, you just mentioned another poster’s name and by protocol, must ping her lest we/ye be guilty of “gossip.” [We must defend our neighbor, ye know :) ]
