I never once denounced neither Romney nor McCain. One is smarting from a loss, the other is dead, but was mistaken about some serious stuff. It's a first for neither man, but they're both proven mistaken long past. You just never know who's gonna beat a dead horse, but it ain't me, babe, because Romney is doing a pretty fair job of it all by himself.
But again, Romney was your candidate 7 years ago? Did you get it wrong?
Let's review, shall we? You Bible Thumpers all rejected Romney in 2008 because he was a Mormon. now, I don't have a problem with this, Mormonism is all manner of fucked up, and if you really think Kiddy-Diddling Con Man Joseph Smith was talking to God, they shouldn't let you out of the house by yourself.
Then 2012 rolled around and you Bible THumpers were all "OH MY GOD THERE'S A NEGRO IN THE WHITE HOUSE!!!" Suddenly, you didn't care if Romney was a Mormon. Romney could have been sacrificing virgins to C'Thulhu and you Wingnuts would have still supported him. But he lost because enough working class Americans recognized the enemy when they saw him.
Then Donald Trump got the nomination, and he couldn't even quote the bible on a bet. He goes around ******* porn stars, and you Bible Thumpers love him because, hey, he's going to appoint guys to the court to might overturn Roe. (Still waiting for you tell me how you are going to enforce abortion laws once you get them.) And Mitt says, "Hey, guys, maybe throwing children into concentration camp and conspiring with foreigners is something Jesus wouldn't do!" and you guys turn on him with a vengence...
I'm not surprised. When you think like a cultist, you act like a cultist.
Mr. Joe sez,"When you think like a cultist, you act like a cultist."
Don't feel bad, Joe, a lot of people are like you and have TDS.
I belong to a mainstream church, we do not consider ourselves bible thumpers unless someone challenges one of us, at which time we are allowed to share a verse or two that tells of the basis for our belief. When I started a thread on just simple prayers, a number of people attacked, belittled, and ridiculed me for my faith. There seems to be a following of atheist militants desiring control over who thinks what at USMB, and they tend to cluster at the Religion and Ethics ares to kick people around whose beliefs they hate.
I have no quarrel with the Mormon people. One of my life's best friends was an elderly Mormon woman who endeared herself to me by taking every one of my quilt classes and buying the little books I wrote to help people do unique theme quilts when I was active in running my quilt store. We didn't try to make each other over religiously, but I enjoyed her company very much, and her church friends were excellent hand quilters, machine quilters, and home-makers as well. Mormons have nothing but my respect for the good homes they make for their families. As far as you accusing me of rejecting Romney on account of his religion, you're all washed up on that one. I've no animus towards the Mormon people, and many of them lived in the Wyoming town my late husband and I spent 35 years there, maybe more.
As far as Donald Trump's marriage to Melania, that's his private business, not mine. If she was at some time in her life doing things many Americans frown upon, in the Good book I read from, all humans are sinners, and the good book I read says that we should not judge people because that's God's job. She certainly is a beautiful person, but I understand she is very unhappy about people throwing her past in her face on a constant basis, and she may or may not continue to serve due to the abuses she is suffering from her husband's adversaries. I've seen her online going to church services now and then, and am convinced she has repented of her old ways and is trying to do what is expected of her. She is on my prayer list, but not like you think. I pray that she endures this tragic situation people who hate her husband and show their disrespect to her over her former career in a European nation, whose mores may differ from my pilgrim ones. There is one story in the book of Genesis, about a woman named Rahab who ran a brothel in a city whose fellow city-dwellers were going to decimate the Israelites, but she took pity on Joshua and his fellow spy who were checking out their chances to win the city, and gave them shelter and advice to save them and their Israelite fellows. After the Israelite army defeated the city, Rahab and her family were not only spared, they were given a special place for always by her saving graces and her care for the people she'd heard such stories about their winning battles the Israelites revered her forever after. It's too bad we have people who treat women in the sex services as scum. Not everybody reads the bible and understands what is being said, but that story has endured in the Bible and supports the thesis that we must not judge other people, because we cannot always look upon the heart the way God does.
And no, I was not prejudiced against Obama when he went into the White House, but when he rejected all Republicans and went on a jubilee of spending, I realized he was ostracizing 50% of the population, which gave me no joy, considering I believe in equality of people, and not a superiority angle that President Obama took upon himself. His choice, his house. It has been returned to the American people, and I'm good with that.
Hope everyone has a good day today. I have asthma symptoms and will need some down time to rest. I pray for our nation and its people, and hope we can learn to tolerate differences as in days before.
