Damned Mormons

[Darkstar]

Writing for the conservative Heritage Foundation’s Daily Signal last week, Schaerr began with the faulty logic that a “reduction in the opposite-sex marriage rate means an increase in the percentage of women who are unmarried and who, according to all available data, have much higher abortion rates than married women.”

  Right, because gay men can get pregnant and lesbian women can impregnate each other. Another conservative who doesn't understand basic biology. Or is he actually suggesting that if gay marriage isn't legal, then gays will enter into relationships with straight people? Does this stuff ever get old?

The filth is spreading to Idaho.

Idaho teacher wishes someone would ‘Ray Rice’ non-Mormon who wants to be school president

What a shit head.

I'm sure they only let the white, male mormons vote too.

LISTEN: Mormon scouting dad gets choked up that his son doesn’t hate gays enough

‘You can identify as gay and be an active, faithful member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.’ The problem is acting on that same-sex attraction, so there’s a distinction between actions and orientation.”
His own son said that he fails to see the issue with allowing gay scouts and scouting leaders.
“He’s a pretty deep thinker, and a thoughtful kid, but his reaction was, ‘Well, I don’t see why it matters, dad. Why is this such a big deal?'” said Monson.
“That’s the hard part about all of this,” Monson said, his voice breaking, “is that it impacts a group of young men who don’t necessarily understand why.”

Babbled by a bunch of old farts who haven't got a fucking clue.

Yet more proof that bigotry is taught and learned. Usually at daddy's knee.

"The BSA statement allows for leaders who are openly gay and what that means in practice is, I don’t think, exactly clear."

It means that leaders in the BSA can be openly gay. How difficult was that to suss out?

Or not, since kiddo seems to use the grey mass.

Well done, archaeologists!

An archaeologist believes he has found the true resting place of the victims of the Mountain Meadows Massacre—more than 150 years after the killings. Everett Bassett revealed his findings to families of the victims on Sept. 12 in Arkansas, according to the Salt Lake Tribune. "There's no way this could be the grave," Bassett initially said of the two large mounds of rock in southwest Utah. "But, on other hand, there was absolutely nothing else it could be." Bassett believes the remains of most of the 120 men, women, and children lie beneath the rock cairns, buried there by Army soldiers nearly two years after they were slaughtered. The 1857 massacre was orchestrated by members of the Mormon Church against the Fancher-Baker wagon party as it traveled to California during a time when hostility against non-Mormons in Utah was high, according to an account by the University of Missouri.

Min, I'm disappointed in you; you didn't even cite the best part of the whole discovery:

The sites are 1,000 or more feet to the west of monuments The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints built on properties it acquired under the belief that they harbored the grave sites, Bassett said. He used Army records to locate the actual graves, which were described simply as mounds of rocks. They are in a ravine formed by the Old Spanish Trail — exactly where the records said they would be — on land the church does not own.

Here's to hoping Bassett can verify these sites as the graves of the massacre victims before the church strong arms the land owner into selling.

A positively Biblical story:

The militiamen, who included prominent pioneers and church officers, guaranteed the migrants safe passage if they laid down their arms and followed them north.

The migrants agreed, only to be lured to their deaths. On a predetermined signal, the militiamen shot the men and boys in the head at one location and bludgeoned the women and children at another.
