Convention ends with Satan and immigrants
Utah County Republicans ended their convention on Saturday by debating Satan's influence on illegal immigrants.
EDIT: My response: What a bunch of grade "A" assholes these guys are.
This sounds like a bunch things that a of group of redneck racists would say and that I hear from places in the South . It truly amazes me that the LDS community doesn't rise up and smite these bastards. (Channeling the Comedian Lewis Black here).
Its things like this that make the rest of the country look at the LDS community and think that they've lost their minds. While I can see that these guys are a noisy minority who are making the LDS community look like they're racists as well, which is why they should run people like this out of town, and work on finding nicer elected officals instead of ignorant racists that pander to the lowest fears in everyone.
I had Mormon neighbors growing up and they were the nicest people ever and while it is a common joke that Utah is the whitest state in the Union. These jerks that hold office are making people in Utah and specifically the LDS community sound like a bunch of racists. The LSD community needs to work on fixing this image that those morons are showing people and undo the damage that this could cause with their relationships to other faiths and groups.

( Read more... ) National Day of Prayer a Subsidiary of the Religious Right
LJ-SEC: (ORIGINALLY POSTED BY sunfell) Major figures on the Christian Right are pulling out all the stops to simulate an official, government-endorsed national prayer day scheduled for Thursday, May 3rd. Let's inculcate the military!
LJ-SEC: (ORIGINALLY POSTED BY sunfell) Military Ministry’s first strategic objective is to Evangelize and Disciple All Enlisted Members of the US Military [emphasis theirs]. We seek to provide every uniformed son and daughter of America with an anchor for the soul through Jesus Christ. This process begins at the recruit training bases…boot camps…where new troops are transformed physically, mentally, and ideally… spiritually. Reread that last bit. "Onward Christian Soldiers" has a sinister new sound to it now. But now, it's nonbelievers they are hoping to march off to war against. This is interesting... and also chilling: Fast Facts These are your kids folks. This is our military being pestered and harried by ministeries like this. They don't like to take 'no' for an answer.
