Jeff this is not a rant directed at you or your church. But it's time too set some Freepers straight. LDS is not your enemy. LDS is not the church tearing this nation down. It holds one of the highest moral standards of any church in this nation.
WAKE UP AND LEARN THE ENEMY PEOPLE. Anyone in here besides me ever hear of a church called United Church of Christ? Anyone ever heard of Americans for Separation of Church and State? Anyone know the common connection between them?
The Founding Fathers of our nation weren't saints. Nor were a significant number even Christian as they denied the Divinity of Jesus Christ. They believed GOD created the heavens and the earth then abandoned it. Among them was Thomas Jefferson. Go ahead to the web search on the Jefferson Bible. It is the worse butchering of The Holy Bible in existence and Jefferson was the editor. Modern day Unitarians use it. Within that church as well you will find the ultra liberal. They still use The Jefferson but reject his political stands.
The Founding Fathers did believe in GOD not all were Deist nor all Christians. But they did come together in love of this nation too form a government where any person was free too worship GOD as he pleased and conscience allowed. So would Jefferson be rejected today?
Mitt Romney will never get my vote. Not because he is a Mormon. I don't care as that as between him and GOD. I am against Romney based 100% on his record while in office.
Too those using the fact Romney is LDS as a means to attack him you are winning Romney's election for him. Debate his political stands. If he beats his wife, cheats, etc debate that as that is character issues.
I don't agree with the doctrines of the Roman Catholic Church but I have voted for Keyes many times. Why? Because of where he stood on important issues and his own character.
Get over The Mormon attacks people. You strain at them and persecute them while real enemies are attacking this nation using The Lord's Name in their church. I have not known one LDS yet whom I would not want as a neighbor. I have some family {cousins} that are LDS as well as Roman Catholics and Baptist.
I believe Freepers like Jeff are Patriots and I know from his history Jeff has taken some very tough stands against tyranny some newbee's in here never knew happened. The man loves his LORD, he loves this nation, and I think some need to grow up and center their energy on the real enemies seeking to destroy this nation.
Right now I would vote for a Deist like Jefferson over anyone running in both parties. I would vote for a member of LDS IF a true conservative one was in the running. But these senseless multiple threads day after day of bashing LDS are childish. Grow up people. When it hits the fan a LDS member may be the one who gives you food or protects your back.

God bless you Snipe. Hope all is well with you and yours, God's speed!
Did you know that the new USS America is coming along nicely?
She'll be launched soon and though she is not a CV, she is certainly as close as you can get without being one, and will be an aviation carrier for the Marines. And with the F-35Bs will be a real contender.
Here's a link:
USS AMERICA, LHA-6
I'm building a 1/350 scale model of her (and others) in my spare time...between taking grandkids to movies, teaching them to shoot, working, the chores I can still do, fulfilling my calling (assignments) at church, hekping civically whereever I can, etc., etc.
As always, thank you, from me and mine, for your service to our republic.

The man loves his LORD, he loves this nation, and I think some need to grow up and center their energy on the real enemies seeking to destroy this nation. No doubt about this!
But there are a lot MORE important things in this life than whether THIS nation stands or falls: and that is WHERE a soul will spend eternity.
SOME reading our little talks here on FR, may not be AROUND when election time comes.
Some of them many NOT have made a 'correct decision for Christ' when that car veers across the centerline and wipes out their entire family.
Do I want a voice pleading with me from across that 'great gulf fixed' that I didn't do enough to make Obama a one term President?
