Holy Crap

Mitt Romney & another great Xtian.

Here are excerpts from Mittens' big deal speech on his religion. He doesn't actually say anything, in the excerpts, about how goofy his religion can be historically proven to be. As a matter of fact, there's no mention by name of the LDS church or the word Mormon. Or Joseph Smith, whom the magic underwear people truly worship.

"The founders proscribed the establishment of a state religion, but they did not countenance the elimination of religion from the public square. We are a nation 'Under God' and in God, we do indeed trust.

"We should acknowledge the Creator as did the founders – in ceremony and word. He should remain on our currency, in our pledge, in the teaching of our history, and during the holiday season, nativity scenes and menorahs should be welcome in our public places. Our greatness would not long endure without judges who respect the foundation of faith upon which our constitution rests. I will take care to separate the affairs of government from any religion, but I will not separate us from 'the God who gave us liberty.'"
The founders didn't put any Space Elf on our currency, nor did they write the "pledge." Nor did they put anything in the constitution about a god, or "faith." Not one fucking word. Shows how well Mittens was taught our history. This punk-ass attitude that some invisible fuck in the sky "gave us liberty" is an insult to all those who have given lives, body parts, mental health or even material goods for our "liberty."

True dat! If the Talibangelical's god 'gave us liberty', how come all we ever hear from them is a long list of 'You Shall NOT'? -- Anne Laurie

The "liberty" in question is the liberty to be exploited by the wealthy & privileged, & to choose which variation of the Flavor-Aid you get to drink.
