« Madonna Incurs Wrath of Fellow Moonbats | Main | Government Bureaucracy Engulfs Outdoor Play »

You get the idea that the LA Times is more comfortable with a politician who has a substance abuse problem, commits adultery with the wife of an aide, and simulates oral sex on inanimate objects. This is why Gavin Newsom is the perfect moonbat politician.

So "normal" is the new "weird?"

His name is MITT. Whenever I think of the guy, a big catchers mitt pops into my mind. Who names their kid Mitt? It rhymes with ...Sh.. Maybe kids werent as brutal with insults where he went to school back in to 50s.

Be that as it may, hes a decent guy - probably too decent for a knock down drag out fight with Shillary. He would probably cry. Nominee will likely end up being Guliani with Thompson as VP or vice versa. Unless some dark horse comes out of the shadows - like Chuck Norris maybe. Id vote for him - he kicks ass. He is backing Huckabee but that guy has a screwy name - President Huckabee? Moonbat press would replace the H with an F. LOL! This should be a fun election year... LOL!

He looks like a "Flash Gordon" extra!

What have we come to when we now see "normal" as suspect, or maybe as not competent! Good grief. No wonder the world is such a mess.
Let's give honesty, ability, and character a chance for a change.

But...

As a cult member, Mitt should be perfect for the LA-LA times.

If memory serves me correctly, this is not the first time the LA Times has done a piece on Romney’s “perfection”, albeit as a negative quality. Even common sense is not common anymore especially, I might add, in the LA Times and the liberal media. Well, how about this “perfectly normal” statement:

If there was ever a time for America to have a PERFECT and NORMAL leader, it is NOW!

...and Romney is that leader!

I guess that makes me a cult member too.

Romney's heritage is polygamist Mormon. The Chruch of Latter Day Saints is a bizarre Christian cult. I wouldn't call any "religious" person in this day and age sane, let alone "normal".

Actually, I would call a sincere modern day practioner of Mormonism, and Romney, a delusional freak, a throwback to a more primitive time, and a reactionary.

Yay, I'm a delusional freak and a reactionary!

Oh wait, sorry, that means you'll think I'm a mormon...

No, I'm not a mormon (I am not, nor have I ever been...) though I do think I'd like to be grouped amongst the delusional reationary freaks. Can you include anglicans in that category or do we get our own grouping?

Is there a World Reactionaries League?

Are there play-offs?

Can we play Fantasy Freaks?

hey Archonix, no, you win! I like the way you so adamantly distance yourself from the Mormons...

Let's see, one of the people in my Mormon congregation is lead engineer on a project to develop advanced artificial limbs capable of articulating a wider range of motion than any previous generation, another is a multi-lingual trauma surgeon, another developed an innovative supply chain management technology based on RF tags.

I guess we're all just stupid, delusional freaks, though.

It seems like those lefties who profess open-mindedness and tolerance turn out to be the biggest bigots of them all.

Also, the Christian-bashing is pretty typical of the cowardliness of the left. They bash Christians knowing our faith precludes us from blowing them up or cutting their heads off. (And even then, they hide behind cowardly anonymous posts.) But the left is oh-so-ready to appease Islam.

It's similar to why the left only protests human rights "abuses" in free countries like the USA, Britain, and Israel. If they tried their little protester act against real abusers of human rights like Cuba, Venezuela, Iran, or the Palestinian Authority... they'd be imprisoned, or killed.

If you were REAL Christians you would be stoning Homosexuals and disrespectful children as well as burning prostitutes alive while trying to convert the rest of us to Christianity.

Fortunately, you only pay lip service to your religion, and pick and chose the principles you can live with, as you see fit.

If there is a God, which there isn't, most of you will be burning in hell anyway, suckers.

Mormons while appearing Christian really arent. They put more emphasis on the Book of Mormon that the bible - the claim is it was written on golden plates that mysteriously vanished. It can be called Christian-based but not Christian when taken in it entirety. Just mentioning Jesus Christ alot doesnt mean they are Christians. That is the big problem Romney will have. Mormons are generally good people but if Romney somehow becomes the nominee or is still in the running just before convention time - people will get a real education in Mormonism via political ads.

The long winded Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Men get to become gods of their very own planet and according to many sources: plenty of women - and they dont have to blow themselves up like the muzzies do.

Fans of the original Battlestar Galactice know the planet Kobol and the mythology of the series is loosely based on Mormonism.

Stoning people was a Jewish thing - part of the old Testament. When Jesus Christ came upon people preparing to stone a woman, he challenged the one without sin to cast the first stone. All of the men left in shame. Thats Christian. Not some warped liberal view of it.

I love how you guys can bash Islam, or any other belief system, yet when someone bashes YOUR relgion, they are a bigot. Seriously, you guys are so deeply deeply hypocritcal that it blows the mind...

My experience has been that there are three kinds of Mormons.

First, there's the backwoods lot. The scary people who live out in the middle of nowhere and still dress like they were living in the 19th century. My parents once, a long time ago, found themselves wandering around one of these towns whilst they were driving between San Francisco and Las Vegas. They didn't stay any longer than it took to get fuel, and while they were there someone followed them the entire time.

The second lot are the missionaries. I see them around here now and then, dressed in fine suits and, half the time, with American accents. People tend to ignore them as they ignore all such missionaries around here, but it seems that they're having some sort of effect; the JWs have started copying their style, dressing up nice. I had a nice debate with a pair of them a year ago on my doorstep while I was still at bible college. Naturally I won, but they were good about it.

The third type, the ones that make up the majority, are basically christians who don't drink coffee and have some funny extra bits tacked on to the Book.

I do not have the heart to condemn Mormons, nor would it be my place to do so. They're at least trying to find God in a peaceful way and they're morally similar enough to the rest of Christendom to make them more like an odd denomination than a cult. Sort of like Methodists. We can argue and debate because we're fundamentally on the same side.

I love how you guys can bash Islam, or any other belief system, yet when someone bashes YOUR relgion, they are a bigot. Seriously, you guys are so deeply deeply hypocritcal that it blows the mind...

Any other belief system? I don't see any hindu bashing around here, or people ragging on zorastorianism, of confucians, or buddhists.

Islam is not merely a belief system. It's complete world view; a political system. It's a justification of conquest and arab imperialism to its very core.

Now I know you'll bring up British and American imperialism but they came after the religion and didn't create the religion as a justification of their actions. CHristianity at it's core is universalist. More to the point, it maintains the distinction between the secular and the metaphysical by the statement "Render unto Ceasar that which is Ceasar's", which delineates christian responsibility to respect the secular state. Islam has no such delineation. It is the state.

If you can't see the very different attitudes this will create in the adherents of these two religions then you're willfully blind.

I think anonymous proves the point I made on an earlier thread about the obnoxiousnes, bigotry, and bitterness that seems to define the majority of atheists.

And the atheist further has the arrogance demand that I live up to his bigoted, ignorant stereotype. It is typical of small or narrow-minded people to caricature and demonize that which they do not understand.

V the K

So, when your religion is attacked it's bigotry? No bigotry expressed here towards other religions? That's rich.

ANd Archonix...there HAS been Hindu bashing here...go back and read the posts. Everone aside from Christians have been bashed here....

"It is typical of small or narrow-minded people to caricature and demonize that which they do not understand."

you could not have summed up this blog and the regular posters here in a more concise and accurate manner.

Pot calling kettle black, anyone?

Even if anonymous can't yet comprehend the point of this blog, at least he recognizes his own bigotry. That is progress of a sort.

As for my own faith, I chose it after many years of studying many different faiths ... including Islam and Buddhism. I believe it is superior to any other, and that's why I have chosen it. If other people follow different faiths, that's fine as long as they don't denigrate mine, or interfere with my practice or expression of my own faith.

What I do object to is the promotion of freakish, non-normative lifestyles that are unhealthy for individuals and society. What I object to is the use of activist judges and the threat of legal action to sterilize the public space of any reference to Christianity. And I especially object to practitioners (or exploiters) of different faiths who leave their sh*thole countries, come to my country, and try to remake my country in the image of their sh*thole countries.

Religion has NO place in the public sector. If you want to hold ridculous, irrational beliefs and conduct ancient rituals realted to it, do it in your church or in yur home. I don't want myself or children exposed to your primitive belief systems.

Your referecece to the "shithole" countries where people who beleive other than you live only reveals your own bigotry, and your true feelings towards religions and cultures that differ from your own.

This is precisely what you attacked me for earlier. Can't you see that?

I beg of you: keep your religious views to yourself. You have plenty of outlets in which to express your religious views.

i also don't believe you spent years studying anything,.,

By objective standards of life expectancy, freedom, opportunity, and living standards, many third world countries are indeed sh!tholes.

Only an acutely stupid person would claim that all cultures are equal, all countries are equal, all lifestyles are equal.

It's not the "attack" that makes one bigoted, it's whether the attack is based on study and analysis as my criticisms of other cultures and belief systems are, or whether they are based on ignorance, prejudice, and blind hatred, as are those of anonymous.

And if you don't believe I spent many years studying different faiths... well, that's rather typical of how you form opinions, isn't it? You don't know me, you haven't known me during the times I've spent studying religion, but acting in complete ignorance and based only on your hate and prejudices, you are immediately prepared to deny my experience. And that is typical of the pattern of attack you have displayed.
