One of my late older sisters converted to Mormonism over thirty years ago. She revered Joseph Smith like a second coming. In those days the Mormon church didn't like to advertise the disgusting, rampant, polygamy of the elders. Or how young men were driven off so more women were available for the elders. I don't understand how this group of oversexed holy rollers was allowed to thrive.

Mormonism is the only religion Americans can say was started by an American, it deserves a place in America much more than the religion they borrowed which was started by a small Jewish sectarian group of Hellenic Christian Jews known as Judaea Christians.

It was as you had posted earlier 105% which is why most states introduced voter ID requirements to suppress voter over enthusiasm.

Actually, she posted 1005, when she intended to post 100%.

Nice try though.

didn't know that

He was a "draft dodger" just like Clinton. Like Clinton, he had student and religious deferments. On his last deferment, he drew number 300 in the lottery, so knowing he was safe (only 001-195 were called), he surrendered his deferment.

Clinton was a little braver. He surrendered his deferment before the draft lottery, but he also lucked out, drew number 311, and was never called.

But if Clinton was a "draft dodger" as every single Republiklan in the country was barking ad nauseam in 1992, then Romney was certainly a draft dodger. Republiklan crickets. . .

gotta say knowing it won't be popular on this particular site, back in the day I had zero problem with draft dodgers from the Vietnam war, they seemed an exotic breed at the time, so I'm not judging him but I am surprised, how does one send another to war when one has dodged it themselves, all the presidents send the young boys off to war

didn't know they had lotteries either reminds me of the short story The Lottery by Shirley Jackson

I thought the Canadians were mad at him for drawing attention to his trip to Canada where he had his dog strapped to the roof of his car. Because there are parts in Canada where the car is strapped to dogs.

beats me, I don't keep up on all of the politics from the south, I'm more of a human interest person, anyone that f*cked up, fascinates me, especially when Bill Meyer analyses them

Mormonism is closer to Islam than Christianity.


The KKK are even closer.

they also burned people. tortured people to death and terrorized several populations.

Is that what Americans mean when they say baptisms by fire.

Don't be ridiculous. They were positively moderate for the white population of the American South. Mainstream. Good, decent, honest Christians and pillars of the church and the community.

Any wonder why the Jews chose to remain Jews. This was to transformational for them.

I couldn't agree more. Eighteen-year-old boys are "young, dumb, and full of c*m." If you can't convince them to join up voluntarily, it's a pretty good sign you're in a war you got no business being in.

Better'n a fake transcendentalist.

Like they had a choice. The man went berserk vandalizing their temple.
