About Me
- Kitten
- I am a former IT professional that retired early to take on possibly the most terrifying, frustrating, amazingly rewarding job ever... being a Mom. My three unrepentant heathens keep me very busy and regularly force me to sharpen the wet noodle of my imagination in order to keep one shaky step ahead of them. In a given day I may be required to be the nemesis of Iron Man, a monster, a racetrack for assorted half-transformed transformers or the soundtrack to an epic battle between green army men and a penguin. It's nearly enough to drive you sane.

I will probably get in trouble for this..
But I am not entirely certain candidate Mitt Romney would be a completely awful president. Please hear me out before you hunt me down like a rabid animal. Yes, he is Mormon. Yes, they do have magic underwear among other silly and slightly scary issues. That aside, they take care of their own, are financially stable, can properly manage a budget and have an amazing support structure in place to all that are a member in good standing and pay tithe. Think average tax paying citizen. Is this really so terrible? Religion aside, I find myself more and more looking over the flotsam, jetsam and flat out hot mess options and thinking maybe this guy can't be any worse than what we have now. Or do you really want Palin? <<-- had to fix that 4 times.. my Droid kept correcting it to " pain". Perhaps it knows something we don't?

I had to give this a couple of days worth of thought before I could post something that was coherent and not sound like the rantings of a rabid anti-Mormon.
ReplyDeleteI can get behind fiscal conservativism, that has never been a problem. Yes, I would like to see a government that can spend within its means. But for these people they simply CAN NOT put their religion aside.
Being Mormon means you have to eat, breath, and sleep the religion. Women should be bared from the work place, gays are the devil, and there is no such thing as pro-choice. That isn't bad if YOU want to live that way, but you now have to FORCE that opinion onto everyone else whether they want your religion up their ass or not.
Let us not forget that they are incredibly socialist. Taking care of their own; they only help the temple worthy which is probably around 1% of their attending body, yet everyone has to pay 10% of their income as tithe. Wait, that sounds like what most of the working class in America does anyway (pay taxes can't get government assistance). Take into account that when God reigns on Earth you have to give your entire income to the Mother Church and well that is going to make the socialist hating Tea Party foam at the mouth.
Let's be honest here honey, being Mormon means you have to tell your bishop the right things and pretend to do what you're supposed to. In my life I've met maybe 3 mormon families that actually live the life, the rest just fake it enough to keep the facade up.
ReplyDeleteIn my researchings and meanderings I have come to see Mormonism as no worse than most of the big-name jeebus cults. As for the whole give everything to the church when God comes.. do you reeeeaaaalllly see that happening?
Let's set the mushroom induced hallucinations aside for a moment and just look at the structure. While caffiene is a nono, the church has many fingers in juicy stock pies directly related to exactly that. The money machine behind it all basically has not the religion get in the way of the money. The storehouses, colleges, apartment buildings, beef producers, etc and so on have less to do with an imaginary book and more to do with people that know how to properly handle funds. I'm not saying Romney is getting my vote, just saying he's the least worst on the republicrat side right now.
You actually meet three...oh wait I lived in one of those three families! LOL
ReplyDeleteSee, I actually think they are getting better at hiding their weird culty-ness from the general public. Have you seen the recent sprawl of their propaganda spinning about since the musical that satirizes them? And no, I really don't think god cares enough about this species to reign over it directly. They don't deserve it.
I know that you haven't lost the sense that you have to vote for the man, and I see where you are coming from. I guess my real point is, no mater how much I can agree with you over finances the moment you start saying gays are burning in hell, and other social idiocy I can no longer take you seriously. Government shouldn't be about choice, or as Howard Dean put it "God, gays and guns," but rather how to keep its citizens safe, control import and export, crime, and infrastructure. So called morals should be dictated on a person by person basis; or at the very least controlled as a group that believes the same like churches or temple or covens.
