Not to worry, there won’t be a President Mitt Romney.
Officially the Salt Lake City headquarters crew banned it because American law would not permit it.
Yet it still exists under the label “Mormon” and so forth.
Will Romney, if elected, do something about this child abuse clot?
That’s the question, not whether the official Mormon headquarters banned it or not. Yes, they banned it. Yet it still exists as a radical appendage of their history.
Another non-federal issue being bumped up to DC. Let’s just do away with state government. I volunteer Calif. and Mass. to go first
Child abuse is the concern of every branch of our government, at least it should be.
In today’s world, one can predict nothing.
Bad logic. The homosexual lifestyle may be considered acceptable by some in the Catholic Church, they do so against the teachings of the Church. Many Protestants agree that it has never been acceptable. Besides, having some consider something acceptable does not make it morally acceptable.

Ditto to your post.
Your response weakly attempts to imply that if the feds don't police child abuse, they don't care. Nice try, but no cigar.
You express exactly my point.
I do not disagree with your statement.
What I have stated in my post is not bad logic. Instead, my post exposes the wrong positions of liberal Protestants and segments of Roman Catholicism endorsement of evil.
If you mean “bad logic” as related to liberals—political and theological—I agree with you that their logic is both bad and evil.
Did FDR, LBj,Reagan, Bush, Clinton ,Carter did anything on the issue of polygamy.
Or is it only Romney that has to take some action.
BTW, you just joined the site recently, already an attempted hit piece on Romney, pretty strange indeed.
Sorry for the confusion.
I don’t see anything ‘strange’ about being ‘new’ or posting about Romney.
BTW, other presidents should have done something about the subject of my post.
The point is that now if Mormon Romney is in the Oval Office, will he take the moral “bulls by the horns” so as to eliminate child abuse in an appendage of the Mormon history? This would be his perfect chance to do what others have neglected.
The Apostolic United Order has approximately 5,000 members, many of whom live in the community at Pineville, Montana, and the several Mexican colonies.
I have visited the colony in Pineville, MT. There are plenty of one-family polygamists elsewhere in Big Sky country, too.
gotcha.
thanks.
None of these child abuse colonies should exist in America.
Agreed. The attitude of local law enforcement is “Live and Let Live.” Without witnesses to testify, enforcement becomes impossible. Our tax dollars support them since most of the women and children receive public assistance.
You stated what we all should put at the forefront of this issue along with the obviuos child abuse:
“Our tax dollars support them since most of the women and children receive public assistance.”
Thanks for the emphasis.
If it's a pressing federal issue, than all candidates need to be asked the question. If it isn't, then none of the candidates need to be asked.
It would be a totally different story if the author could make some case that Romney, if elected, would either encourage the practices or at least use the weight of the federal government to discourage law enforcement efforts. But the author didn't, choosing instead to make the lazy connection Romney's religion vs. the fact that these nutjobs cloak themselves in a religious facade.
It's garbage like this that allows the Romney supporters to play the "victim" card.
