I was right in the middle of this madness - my office bldg is at Westwood and Wilshire Bldvd. totaly stranded - couldnt go home for two hours....these are crazy, selfish nut jobs.

“It would be great if a few of those Samoan Mormons would work over the Mormon bashers on FR.”

I guess you view any dissent against your religion as a reason for violence. That’s cult like behavior.

I wasn’t posting to you, #1.

And, if you read my posts, you will find out what my religion is.

Now, take your “cult-like” comment and shove it.

” take your “cult-like” comment and shove it.”

Or what?

[La Enchiladita]

Yes.... see my #137, last line.

I am Catholic and...

What is your position on the Vatican's calling MORMONISM a cult?

[Elsie]

OOooohhh!

Was I just THREATENED??

[La Enchiladita]

My sympathy. I was east of the area, but close enough to see all the helicopter activity overhead. Traffic nightmare spilled over to adjacent areas, and everyone was frazzled. All because the MAJORITY want to live decent, respectable lives. And, if more voters had been better informed, the vote would have been a landslide.

Those damn Democrats...live by the vote, die by the vote.

After getting buttkicked at Tonga, Mormons knew that it was their turn to strike first.

Blacks and hispanics voted for this measure as well. Are the gays going to protest them?????

[La Enchiladita]

Exactly, AuntB. No way....especially not in L.A.

[Fred]

Don't these people have jobs

A protester, 'I am just like you'

[jan in Colorado]

You nailed it, my FRiend!

[Elsie]

Grow up.

Thanks for a timely response.

[Elsie]

It would be great if a few of those Samoan Mormons would work over the Mormon bashers on FR.

Believe me - it was my pleasure.

My Nephew did the same thing, many days and weeks out canvassing, door to door getting out the message about prop 8, in addition to donating money. Unfortunately, and this irks me, he also voted for Obama.

Go figure.
