Every time I read one these articles about Romney and his faith I go away and decide wisdom says to keep my mouth shut.
I think I finally know how speak without sounding like a narrow minded religeous bigot.
We don’t have any problem recognizing that Islam, the R.o.P., perverts the minds of Middle Eastern Terrorists. That said, we do not hate everyone of Middle Eastern Origin.
Romney’s character is shaped by his faith. In communities where Mormon’s are in the majority, they have their ways. Doesn’t mean they are not nice people, but a particular world view is predictable,especially with the leadership. A person’s inner compass, what they determine as truth, determines how they act.
Mormon beginnings and history in this country makes very interesting reading.
Their consistently conservative voting patterns also make for good governance. I'm talking about the rank and file, not politicians like Harry Reid. And, no, I can't guarantee Mitt would not have been another Harry Reid, though I think the odds would have been greatly against it.
Had Romney really been a screaming one-world liberal of the McCain variety in conservative clothing, then I think it likely that the enemedia would have promoted him rather than piled on him.
