Good Grief Greyfoxx! How many times are you going to post that? The horse burgers are on the grill!

Oaths and covenants made by members of the Church in the temples are no greater threat to our nation than are the oaths made by Masons in their ceremonies. Did you know there have been 15 Presidents who were Masons? Did they circumvent the Constitution or will of the people because of their rites, oaths and covenants? I think George Washington would disagree with you!

When the MSM starts saying the same things I have here, that kind of argument will be useless. I don't know how I can impress on you the evil of the clinton machine. The message of the November election seems to have passed over the heads of a lot of people, but it scared the "heck" out of me.

You asserted, "Oaths and covenants made by members of the Church in the temples are no greater threat to our nation than are the oaths made by Masons in their ceremonies."

An amazing comparison since the rituals in your Temple are so similar to those in Masonic rituals.
