Mitt's Mission
Newsweek ^ | Oct. 8, 2007 issue | Jonathan Darman and Lisa Miller

Posted on 10/01/2007 4:38:10 AM PDT by AmericanMade1776

For Mitt Romney, it all started in a two-story, wood-framed house on a busy street in Pontiac, Mich. Painted beige, encircled by an asphalt lot that would hardly hold a dozen cars, the building manages to look both decrepit and picturesque, like a million other urban churches across the country. Today it houses the Unity Church of Practical Christianity, but until Romney was 10, it was the Mormon church he attended with his family—at least twice a day on Sunday, and one night a week for youth group.

Wow, you sure know how to threaten your host, FreeRepublic.com!

"My advice to FR is to not continue the process of waking a sleeping tiger." Your tiger, Satan, is the ruler of this world and the cult of Mormonism --hallmarked by heresies some are exposing in spite of personal attacks by folks like who get away with cussing freepers-- which is serving the goals of Satan to promote tolerance of heretical garbage varying only in minor ways depending upon which era it surfaces.

The fact that you can threaten freepers and insult the forum yet get your way by having this thread moved where you order it tells some of us that you currently have some pull with one or two moderators, but that will not be the norm, FreeRepublic was started by a man steeped in conservatism and freedom of speech so long as it is reasoned and non-threatening. You revealed what spirit directs you when you cussed PanYansWife and bragged of enjoying urinating on the shoes of those opposed to Mormonism. Don't get overly encouraged that your brand of suppression will rule at FR.

You gotta be kidding.

Cults supress free speech.

Just look at Scientology's history. Even when LDS apostle Bruce McConkie came out with his "Mormon Doctrine" book when it was first published, there was an initial temptation to yank it from public circulation by LDS general authorities.

Holy cow, tracer.

Calm down. Didn’t I see you apologize to all you have offended over on another thread?

But an APOLOGY from me to to you, to Elsie, and to others here re: the bad example I have been, flawed critter/work-in-progress that I am. I need to keep in mind that Satan is the “father of contention.”

Are you bipolar? Perhaps you should see your physician and get your meds adjusted.

AMEN?... Did you read and agree with “... FR already and irretrievablly has fired the first round in an engagement in which it will not prevail ... I haven’t the time or the inclination to wage war with a dying blog, but there exist many others who do and have the capability of making FR’s unpleasant encounters with the NY and LA Times trivial by comparison. “ You want to amen that, eh?

Funny how Mike Huckabee wants to tell us all how to live, but Mitt Romney, a Mormon, doesn’t.

Rather large blindspot ... tracer threatens FR, obliquely, with attack if FR doesn’t stop the opposition to Mormonism, and you amen that? Nice, very Mormonesque.

Sure he does... Romney just wants me and my family to adopt socialized medicine.

My physical health cannot withstand the beating it will take under “managed care”.

Romney wants to dictate social policy via the Oval Office.

No thanks.

If I wanted substandard medical care, I would turn to the other stellar medical model that out nation adopted... the VA.

My impression of Romney is that if he thought it would help him get elected he would tell us all how to live. Huckabee just honestly thinks adults need a nanny to tell them no-no.

May I ask you a question?

You said you were a Catholic woman who married a Mormon man in an LDS Ward House (not Temple). If that is so, how come you are not a Mormon? Hasn’t your husband told you that Mormonism and its ensuing covenants offer the only hope for your eternal salvation?

I can understand why you hold that opinion.

Google the word offensive if you’re not sure of it's meaning.

LOL!

I’m not a supplier of stats — it’s your job to get them. :-)
