The Maverick Conservative

"Republican Mitt Romney declares in a speech being delivered Thursday that he shares "moral convictions" with Americans of all faiths, but should not have to explain his own religion just because he's striving to become the first Mormon elected president."

From the beginning, it has been the mainstream media harping on the Mormon religion of Mitt Romney--theose sanctimonious, hypocritical RELIGIOUS BIGOTS. 

I am willing to state it flatly:  The mainstream media has so pandered to, and encouraged, religious bigotry with regard to Mitt Romney that there is just no question.  They ARE religious bigots, and they offend me.  Mike Huckabee made a reference to this Biblical reference:  "If thine eye offends thee, pluck it out."   I am not a Biblical scholar, so the quote may not be 100%.  But you get the idea.  That is the only remedy for the mainstream media:  PLUCK IT OUT.  Disregard it.  Let it disappear into the dustbin of history.  HELP it to disappear into the dustbin of history.

Everyone should have realized how despicable these people are (mainstream media) when the despicable Associated Press ran a story when Romney first rose to prominence as a candidate that Romney's GREAT GRANDFATHER was a POLYGAMIST (HORRORS!  No bigotry there--I ACCUSE the Associate Press of being composed of nothing but despicable, religious bigots; or WORSE, pandering to religious bigotry to support the poltical agenda of the despicable AP).

It has gone downhill from there for the desppicable AP, AOL, and the rest of the mainstream media.  Religious fundaments and evangelicals have been CALM about it all.  It is the mainstream media that is TELLING THEM that they SHOULD hate Romney because of his religion.  I am sure some people won't vote for Romney because he is a Mormon (although the AP types could care less--they are the ENEMIES of religion merely trying to USE evangelicals in the most cynical and evil way they can).  But do we really want to endorse that point of view in the 21st Century (a point of view I am convinced not many evangelicals have, although I certainly cannot speak for them, as I believe most evangelicals are more intelligent, AND more broad minded, than the average Harvard educated LEFTIST--the average CHIMP is more intelligent than the average AP reporter).

Isn't it marvelous how good the mainstream media is making Romney look?  He is on the side of the angels, and they are FORCING him to be on the side of the angels.  How can you argue that there should be a religious "test" to be President?  You can't.  Think of if a Muslim were running.  The stories would all be about how TERRIBLE religious bigotry is (they WERE about that when the first Muslim elected to Congress wanted to swear on the Koran).  

There is no way the mainstream media (or his opponents) can win trying to suggest that Romney's Mormonism is a LEGITIMATE issue.  Are these people really closet Romney supporters?   They might as well be.  They are making Romney look really GOOD.

I was raised Presbyterian (I have not believed in ANY religion since at least the age of 13).  You know what?  We Presbyterians never thought much of METHODISTS.  Aren't they hedonistic HERETICS.  In case you don't understand the reference, Hillary Clinton is supposedlly a Methodist (I would guess she thinks more like ME than the aveage, truely religious Methodist, but who knows?).  Is that a CULT?  I DEMAND that she explain her religion.  It is certainly not fundamentalist Christian.  What do METHODISTS believe?  I certainly don't know.  This cries out for investigation (no, it is a USELESS question to ask what Hillary believes:  she believes whatever is necessary for her to believe to be elected President--which may be true of most politicians, but especially for Hillary Clinton).

I re-read the above, and I just don't know if I have adequately gotten across my CONTEMPT for the mainstream media religious bigotry, and election reporting in general.  Words are just not adequate.  And I think I may have held back my true feelings too much.
