Watch out!

Ok, I am still on a roll. You know what? When did Mormon bashing suddenly become acceptable political discourse. We're used to it somewhat but I have about come to a breaking point. Wasn't a central foundation of this country that we are free to exercise our own religion? Is that out of vogue in 2008? I am so tired of my religion (yes, it's a religion) being thrown around like it's a huge liability. Well, if practicing a Christ-centered, family central, love your neighbor(albeit not perfectly) religion is a liability in this "conservative" party, then you better be careful what you wish for. There are a lot of LDS Republicans and they are pretty good at turning the other cheek and getting on with their lives but I will tell you one thing, it's getting OLD! We sure aren't perfect but for crying out loud, who are we hurting? The sad thing is a lot of the criticism is coming from evangelical Christians with whom (ironically) we share so many of the same values. It makes me sad and disappointed in my party.

Once again I totally agree. Ralph and Becca just stopped to say hi and I was saying the exact same thing to them too!
