“Wait till they start on the mormon race history!”

When you cover that, be sure to point out the Mormons’ early belief in abolition of slavery.

It was one of the factors which made them unpopular in Missouri.

And that Joseph Smith opposed slavery in his 1844 candidacy for Potus, whereby he proposed abolishing slavery by 1850, using sale of public lands to compensate slaveholders.

It is worth looking at both sides of issues, don’t you agree?

I think the average person will be interested in what Mitt was taught from 1947 to 1965, from his religion, and what he was teaching about the inferiority of blacks in his religion from 1965 to 1978 as a Priest.

People know exactly what the devoted Mitt Romney was teaching, he is no rebel, he is a devout, exceptional, Mormon.

The response from Mormons that they had the real truth, and were practicing it while we were watching Animal house and Star Wars, and then that God reversed himself in a revelation to the Holy Mormon Prophet in 1978, will make the average person even more disturbed.
