On all threads, but particularly “open” threads, posters must never “make it personal.” Reading minds and attributing motives are forms of “making it personal.” Making a thread “about” another Freeper is “making it personal.”
When in doubt, review your use of the pronoun “you” before hitting “enter.”
Like the Smoky Backroom, the conversation may be offensive to some.
Thin-skinned posters will be booted from “open” threads because in the town square, they are the disrupters.

Thin-skinned (emotional, whiney or mercurial temper) posters are the disruptors on open threads.
thank you for posting this. very thought-provoking.
” Tim Rutten in the Los Angeles Times and Michael Otterson in the Washington Post have accused you of imposing a de facto “religious test.” “

if the LAT and WP are defending Romney, that is ALL i need to know!
(Libs certainly don’t defend true conservatives on principle. They are the same people that gave us McCain!)
With Romneycare, and how squishy he is on many conservative issues, i never even thought about his religion.
(and I actually DO have friends who are Mormons...)
But, if Romney WAS a true conservative, I would now have to more thoughtfully consider the above points, the Author made. (They are also very relevant to the flak Herman Cain is taking, regarding Islam and “religious test”.)
Screw Mitt; no matter how much he changes his line of BS to look conservative or how much he claims that being Mormon predisposes him to being conservative, he's at best just another RINO political hack and at worst a complete disaster like the dolt we now have for president.
Ha!
Guess what they say about the BIBLE!!

For anyone knowing the PR emphasis of the Mormon church, this is a no-brainer conclusion.
A Mormon presidency would open the door wide open for the massive LDS public relations propaganda campaign. (This especially applies to POTUS and may or may not apply to all political races).
Bill Clinton was a presidential role-model disaster for our young generation re: the scandal. Any president the voting block elevates to the highest role model position in our land accords the highest vote of respectability to the public aspects of what that person stands for.
If that person, for example, is a neatly tucked-away communist who's adopted a mask of "family values," & we elect him president, we are telling our kids that communism is OK to emulate. Furthermore, we are handing proselytizing fuel to communists everywhere. It would fuel their door-to-door boldness and other aggressive campaigns to be able to say, "See. Our respectable Communist leader holds the highest office in the land. Come study what helped make the man he is today!"
I've been saying this for the past four years...it's quite obvious.
