Re: Trump and guns!

You cannot believe anything he says. Over the weekend he told the NRA he would never ever ever forsake them. With Trump it is empty, vacuous air. My oh my, you are filled with hate for Trump. What a closed minded statement - and false. Right from Nancy Pelosi's playbook. Are you sure you aren't a D...

Re: polygamy

I had a woman come up to me and asked if I was a Mormon. I told her I was a Latter Day Saint. I don't clearly remember the rest but I'll try. You still practice polygamy. (It wasn't a question.) You politely but firmly reply that she is confusing Mormons and Muslims. (Mormons (LDS) stopped practici...

Re: Utahns, how excited are you about Mitt Romney

I'm curious about "lowering taxes" being the prime thing mentioned here, and not actual numbers. So if in one state, taxes go from 7% to 7.1% to 7.2% to 7.3%, and in another state taxes go from 7% to 20% to 19.9% to 19.8%, will spending be higher in state #2, because in 2 of 3 years taxes...

Re: Utahns, how excited are you about Mitt Romney

.... Romney goes on to say this: "In many cases, lowering taxes can actually increase government revenues. If new businesses, new investments and new hiring are spurred by the prospects of better after-tax returns, the taxes paid by these new or growing businesses and employees can more than ma...

Re: The Constitution and the LDS Faith

That was when the Mountain Meadows Massacre occurred, at the cost of 120 civilian lives. The darkest shame in LDS history. At the end of the "War", the same outcome happened anyway, with Brigham Young being stripped of public office. Again, do you have a point, or are you just reciting co...

Re: The Constitution and the LDS Faith

Lol You really don't know do you? Stunning. After the Saints migrated to Utah, Pres. Buchanan sent the U.S. Army to the Utah Territory to quell the so-called Mormon Rebellion. Became known at the Utah War. Pres. Buchanan sent General Albert Sydney Johnston wit 2,500 troops to crush the Mormon Rebel...

It does not matter that you lack understanding. You did not know or understand why the Nauvoo Legion was created. You did not know or understand the Nauvoo Legion continued to exist after their charter was cancelled. Never mind.
