It’s not an unreasonable request, is it? What do you propose that we do about it? Even if the answer is nothing, give me an answer.
I don’t like Mormonism any more than you do, but it’s getting fairly tiresome to see you doing nothing but kvetch about it without offering any kind of solution, and for that matter hijacking non-religion threads in order to do so.
So now I want to know what your mind is on this issue. I’m not trying to get your vote, but if you hate Mormonism so much, what is your opinion on what a good Christian ought to do regarding the election?
First things; quite tearing into other freepers over the Romney candidacy. Save the getting personal nastiness (if there be any) for real enemies, not past allies, and/or potential future friends.
Regardless of which way the election goes, we are going to need more conservative firepower. Wasting it in circular firing squads doesn't help much.
Otherwise, I've already given some info on "where to start", or at least the sort of things we should agitate for...though I reckon others might be able to serve up the same or somewhat different, with better detail and organization.
Now as to this;
I’m not trying to get your vote, but if you hate Mormonism so much, what is your opinion on what a good Christian ought to do regarding the election?
I never said "I hate Mormonism" much less "so much".
There is no real need to go about revising and extending MY own comments, thank you. I'd much rather reserve that privilege for myself, if you don't mind too much.
I'm not sure what the future will hold, or how long it will "hold", for that matter.
What does seem plain is that we will need some form of coalition(s) which can exert pressure and influence in an effective way.
Tearing new holes in each others' hides while investigating and discussing the issues, I seriously doubt will help us focus on the facts, and those things we can influence. In the past, the TEA Party made it's presence known. Became hated by many establishment types, lied about and mis-characterized in the press.
Stand by to be opposed like that some more, but keep your cool. It would help if we could somehow put real stories behind that bunch of malcontented voters (that would be us) publicized, to humanize the crowd, showing average but informed citizens (which makes them above average in a way) that are united in the view that we must live within our means as a nation -- or at the very least begin to start taking steps towards doing so.
Energy independence... I already mentioned. It's part of a national security issue, even though I'd prefer the future to be such that it turned out to be much more, basically an economic issue, than not.
Have you ever noticed that each of our last few Democrat presidents dipped into the Strategic Oil Reserve as a token salve for domestic price increases --- but Republican presidents always had to come along behind them and work to refill the dang thing, at prices higher than the DemoDumDUms tapped it at? What part of the word "strategic" do they not understand. Give me few hours alone with any of them in a locked room for a few hours, and I assure you I could get them to see the light.
Ooops!
You'd best back up and see who 'highjacked' yer thread.
I find that people who complain about religion being talked about where normal folks have to put up with it, to be quite tiresome.
About the ELECTION?
There ain't much one CAN do; as it appears that either one of two very bad choices will be 'elected'; barring a supernatural intervention.
But AFTER it; there is a LOT they can do; but ONLY if they've elected OTHER people with gonads (sorry ladies; but you can have some, too) to RUN this once great Nation!
(Remember; our ABO folks on FR are promising to hold the President's feet to the fire. We'll just see...)
