Notice the pathetic sheer reductionism exercised by Mitt Romney in 2007.
He reduced...
...mass murder...
...carried out over several days [some were killed/wounded in the initial siege attempt]...
...Kidnapping of 17 children & held hostage by Brigham Young for ransom...
...Theft of prize horses...
...$...
...wagons...
...clothes off the corpses...
...you name it...
...generations of cover-up...
...all to ONE single "act"...
Mitt Romney is a pathetic human being.
Well, that is just a culture of death guy using the ‘mistakes were made’ damage control gambit. Culture of death will do what it does, and these seeds remain in the grooup’s history. If one’s roots are akin to the Manson Family, what will the eventual fruit look like?
"I am a true believer in the gospel of Jesus Christ, I do not believe everything that is now being taught and practiced by Brigham Young.
I do not care who hears it. It is my last word - it is so.
I believe he is leading the people astray, downward to destruction.
But I believe in the gospel that was taught in its purity by Joseph Smith, in former days.
I have my reasons for it.
"I studied to make this man's [Brigham Young] will my pleasure for thirty years.
See, now, what I have come to this day!
"I have been sacrificed in a cowardly, dastardly manner." (Lee enunciated this sentence with marked emphasis.)
