Is it because they practice unfair trade with their unpaid ministry thing? And, thus, get to use the vast majority of their tithes and offerings for things like growth.
Or is it because they produce an occasional putz of a politician like Romney? Because, as all the Mormon haters constantly remind us, he is so much worse than fake Catholics (Nancy Pelosi, Joe Biden, the Kennedy family, etc.) or kapo Jew (Schmuck Schummer, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, etc.). Yeah, sure. Romney is a mouth without an office whose entire political career consisted of one term as a governor of an irrelevant state.
I can only observe if the rank and file members of any other major religion voted like Mormons, the Democrat party would either be forced to moderate or be relegated to the lunatic fringe.
I think that aspects of Mormon doctrine are hidden and that results in suspicion. I am a Catholic and have lovely Mormon friends, but their theology is in some ways secret.... the undergarments..and the secret ceremonies that re-baptize and marry non-mormons after death. Say what you want about Catholicism’s traditions.. there is nothing hidden.
I’ve had nothing but good interactions with Mormons, excepting Romney. They make sure excellent neighbors, and put most Christian churches to shame when it comes to charity. I do find their recent marketing ploy to claim the Christian name disconcerting at least and disingenuous at most. They fall far outside any orthodox understanding of the Christian faith and historically opposed Christian churches (with some valid reasons); however, the modern Mormon establishment has proven itself capable of respecting the American principle of pluralism and that’s enough for me.
Islam’s insistence on ideological supremacy and conquest make it impossible to be reconciled with a free society. It presents a quandary for any form of government except a theocracy. The leftist’s crass alliance with Islam is solely based on using them as agents of social disruption. They can ignore or disavow any principle as long as it sates their lust for power. It’s not about winning hearts and minds; it’s about destroying their enemies. Despite their lofty rhetoric about human rights, they desire to set society back toward totalitarianism and relegate the vulnerable to chattel status.
