And then ... the Mo-locaust. ;-)
ReplyDeleteIts a shame there has to be protest to protect civil rights. Lets just ban mormons and mormon marriages.
ReplyDeleteRemember the ode of Brigham Young, his heart's desire: "slit their throats". That's the true heart of the mormon. For interesting reading, investigate the odd relationship the mormon church had with hitler and nazi germany. They are the modern day nazis....today legislation, tomorrow Auschitz????????
I'm from Salt Lake...I'd like the temple and church to go, to leave. It shames me. I saw a stop sign where someone painted below stop, the word, mormons. Yeah, right on.
ReplyDeleteyou've got to be warning your protesters that they are in harms way, this is the history of the mormons, from their historian:
ReplyDelete"The Mountain Meadows Massacre stands without a parallel amongst the crimes that stain the pages of American history. It was a crime committed without cause or justification of any kind to relieve it of its fearful character... When nearly exhausted from fatigue and thirst, [the men of the caravan] were approached by white men, with a flag of truce, and induced to surrender their arms, under the most solemn promises of protection. They were then murdered in cold blood."
CAN'T GET ENOUGH MMM !!!!!!!
ReplyDeletedon't let it stop, please!
Sooo-
ReplyDeleteCalifornia voters outlaw homosexual marriage and we march on Salt Lake City/County???
That makes sense.
Why don't I just kick the sh!t out of my new puppy. Will that help?
ban mormons, legislate mormon marriages, now.
ReplyDeleteANDERSON,
ReplyDeleteIf you can't BE HONEST about being queer, then don't say what those of us who are, should and shouldn't do concerning a state which is HOME to the very church who funded 4 of 5 dollars on prop 8.

Gosh, protest or move out of utah....I think I'll just move. less wear and tear.
