Mitt Romney and Religion
What is really STUPID about the mainstream media encouragement/endorsement of RELIGIOUS BIGOTRY with regard to Romney is his RECORD.
What is the main concern of conservatives about Romney? No. Evangelical Christians are NOT as narrow minded and bigoted as LEFTISTS and the MAINSTREAM MEDIA. It is not RELIGION that bothers most conservatives about Romney (unless they are cynically trying to act like leftists, and use it as a political weapon).
What worries most conservatives is that Romney was governor of MASSACHUSETTS, and had the kind of policy positions you would expect from a Republican who managed to get elected governor of Massachusetts. Romney is now saying all of the right things (including on the evil of having a religious "test" for becoming President). The question is whether this represents a real coversion by Romney (not the relgious stuff, but the policy "flips" since he was governor of Massachusetts). It may not even matter, if Romney stands behind his present conservative positions.
But HOW could the Mormon religion matter, in the case of Romney, when he was governor of Massachusetts. Did his Mormon religion adversely affect the way he governed in Massachusetts. I just don't see it. I don't see how ANYONE could say it did (leading me to DISRESPECT anyone who believes that Romney's religion matters). There may be a legitimate concern that Massachusetts has infected Romney with a latent disease of liberalism. But this idea that he could be a relatively successful governor of Massachusetts and be infected with a latent "evil" of Mormonism is so stupid that no one should even admit to believing such a thing (if they don't want to label themselves as religious bigots and idiots).
I repeat: all of these attempts to use MORMONISM against Romney are just making Romeny look GOOD, and this speech today made him look GOOD. Rush Limbaugh has said so. I say so. Yes, these are the two smartest people you will hear from on this issue. Rush is 98.8% right, and I am 99.1% right. You can take it to the bank that we are right about Romney and this speech.

Addendum to Commandment 2
The oppressed also include blacks, minorities, people of color, gays, the disabled and people of different religions. Give them all equal rights.

New Commandments
New Commandments
Here are some more commandments that we can ignore:
1. Heal the sick. All over the world. Not just America.
2. Free the oppressed. In Tibet, Burma, Palestine, America and all over the world. Free women too. Give them equal rights.
3. Help the poor. All over the world and in America too.
4. Protect the unborn.
5. Take care of the earth. All of God's art.
6. Have mercy on all. Including prisoners and criminals. No more torture or inhumane treatment of any kind. No capital punishment. We are all murderers and criminals. For example, most Americans killed 600,000 Iraqis over a lie.
7. Do justice to all. Including the weak and powerless. Including the victims of crime.
8. Try to be fair. Find the correct balance between mercy and justice.
9. Try to find the correct balance. In all things.
10. Be nonviolent. Violence should be the very last resort. Currently it is not and never has been. Maybe it was a last resort in World War II. But it was the harsh reparations after World War I that eventually led to World War II. Follow the examples of Martin Luther King, Mahatma Gandhi, Aung Sung Su Chi and Corozone Aquino.
