ah, No. Smith had his alleged vision in 1832. Smith had a bar in his house.

His wife wrote about it her journal, Smith and his cronies would hang around drinking while smoking cigars.

The Republican Party was founded by a coalition of Whigs, Anti-Slavery, anti-polygamy people.

If I remember right, there were at least 3 different versions of that first alleged vision recorded by Smith. And all three varied in important details including the date.

I'd ridicule them for that. But StephenFlorida, will think I'm a bigot just for pointing out an inconsistency that ought not exist if Smith was a prophet of God like he claimed.

And now the descendents of slaves vote for the party of SLAVERY, and the descendents of the Polygamists is THE GOP candidate for President.

What a strange twist of fate!
