I don't think that the news catches on about the Bundys being Mormon and all that, and how that the LDS church is turning a blind eye to the Mormon effect of the Burns, OR, takeover. Isn't there something to turn the news onto the hefty discrepancy in this situation as it pertains to the 12th Article of Faith? Like, shouldn't the networks be knocking on the Bundys' stake president's door and asking him questions about their status?

This be frustratin' me. Anyone know how to alert the press on the Mormon connection and what should be an important consideration?

An individual calling himself Captain Moroni is in Oregon at the takeover of the government offices. Bundy was mentioned.

I also heard the NPR story this morning and told my neverMo mom and sister about it. When I explained the significance of Moroni to Mormonism, both of them broke out in laughter. Frankly, the Bundys and their ilk are really backwards people, and the Mormon church and others encourage this kind of thinking.

It looks like there are already some articles popping up about the Bundy brand of mormonism. I just googled Captain Moroni Bundy and came up with a whole bunch of articles talking about these people. It's funny how every time mormons are in the news it's something alarming. Just like the early days.

Maybe they view themselves as the ones discussed in Mormon doctrine as being the men from the "North" who wrest back the country from the government that as they see it is "hanging by a thread," as fulfillment of prophecy.

They just need everyone else to climb on board.

The F.B.I. says as of this morning's news they are hoping for a peaceful resolution to the conflict..

The danger in that is all these men/people (women? children?) are armed, and therefore to be considered dangerous despite their saying they will only shoot if shot at first.

It denotes pictures of the Waco, Texas standoff all those years ago and David Koresh.

Captain Moroni Bundi? Oh, god.

Well I'll probably get flamed for saying this but I like the Bundys.

Al always makes me laugh and Kelly is really cute even though she's kind of an airhead.

I never knew they were Mormon.

Not that Bundy, you bonehead. We're talking Mormon Bundys. Like Ted. Man, Ted had it all--brains and good looks. He always got all the girls.

I used to marvel at how it takes a very talented person to play act an airhead.

An airhead doesn't require any training at all, lol. Weren't all the Bundy's airheads?! They were all dang funny.

:D

Yeah, I knew Ted was Mormon but that's not why I never liked him.

I think he got what he deserved.

I did some reading about this and the Oregon family in question that are at odds with the US government do not want the Bundy's and the "militia" involved in their conflict.

Ammon Bundy, with his Book of Mormon name, claims that God told him that he must do this. Just like a Mormon to do something stupid with the belief that God trumps everything else.

Ever been to Burns OR?

It's an area where I keep my opinions to myself. The ones I've developed by seeing and interacting with diverse people without my head up my ass.

Armed, isolated, and stupid describes these guys mentality.

That guy running around with Ammon, calling himself Capt Moroni, scares me more than Ammon does.

But it's Cliven Bundy that truly frightens me. He's bsc.

"The lawsuit — which was dismissed because the $350 filing fee was never paid — claims the plaintiffs saw Bill Clinton cross dress in a burqa and claims to have seen Obama sell “Muslim oils at a street vendor stand with a wig and mustache.”"

OMG. These guys are nuts.

I was curious about 'muslim oils' ... turns out you can get 'made in America' muslim oils online. Here's a list of handy oils for celebrating daily religious prayers & services:

Soft Dawn Oil
Noontide Oil
Gentle Reflection Oil
Twilight Oil
Soft Evening Oil

As the site I found explains: "Fragrance oils ready the body for prayer"

You can count on someone deciding they don't have to follow what they decide is some kind of illegal law or action by the government.
But they don't mind taking the same government's money.
I still find it humorous that they have occupied a Forestry Bldg when nobody was there.
