Why must you direct comments about Romney’s evils against all of his faith? I agree, he is an evil man… but does that mean you should insult us COMMITED LDS Patriots? Besides that, your comments are, as is common, entirely mislead and misleading. (For more info, please click on my name above.)

John replies: In my post, I did NOT insult Mormons. Instead I was pointing to Romney’s insult to Muslims, and that his attack on our America freedoms could end up backfiring against him and other Mormons.

Let me add that, as a Catholic, I especially admire Mormons’ dedication to family.

But I find it curious, though not surprising, that so many Mormons supported their coreligionist, especially in Utah, when he was an extreme pro-abortion backer just 2 years ago before his presidential ambitions overcame him. Even if his conversion is sincere, shouldn’t he have proven it by working for pro-life causes for a few years?

And, yes, I’m well aware that pro-abortion “Catholics” like Biden, Kennedy, Schwarzenegger, etc., have been treated lightly by my church, although that seems to be changing.

Exactly correct:”human rights, God-given, natural rights, which we have because we (all of us) are human beings. The Bill of Rights RECOGNIZES these rights; it does not GRANT them.” I wonder if the Russians are waterboarding our advisors, captured in Georgia, after all, BABYBush has opened THAT door.

The destruction of America has been bipartisan for the longest time. You just gotta get over that.

According to the mainstream media, the major scandals about Palin are that she lied to protect her grandchild and tried to fire the guy who abused her sister. To me, those are reasons to vote for her.

Left unmentioned by the media is the scandal that she is a supporter of imperial war and repression.

I have to wonder if the media is secretly pro-McCain, and what kind of marching orders they got from their masters.

I just want to make clear one thing — these rights are not “Constitutional” rights, in that they come from the Constitution. They are human rights, God-given, natural rights, which we have because we (all of us) are human beings. The Bill of Rights RECOGNIZES these rights; it does not GRANT them.
