Romney still lacks "the courage of his absence of convictions"

A political piece, but thoroughly descriptive of powerful mormons in general, and Mitt specifically.

I noticed that our boy Danny was quick to post the link to a pro-Mitt site in the comments section.

I wonder why he didn't feel the need...

to be such a staunch defender of Huntsman, too.

After all, they're both mormon, and both running for Prez...

Oh, wait, John doesn't stand a snowball's chance.

Re: Romney still lacks "the courage of his absence of convictions"

All this conduct can be traced back to their Hero Joe.

Obfuscation in Morland hardly draws a raised eyebrow anymore, it's soooooo commonplace.

Joe was a chameleon who learned the two-step AND passed it on to others in the "Patricharal Order"; GBH was a Shining Star in that tradition, wasn't he?

BY: Racism, yet "the worth of souls is great in the sight of God" and 'support' of the Declaration of Independance, etc.

others: "Banning" polygamous marriages (ceremonies) among the rank-and-file, but allowing Royalty to continue 'The Principle'.

David McKay: reinstated John Doyle Lee, fresh from MMM fame...
Mark Hofmann: Touted by those with 'discernment'.
Gordon Hinckley: (well, we all know)

If the inhabitants of Morland could muster an examination of the 'logic' <lack of consistency> in Mo sayings & actions (let alone a one-to-one Comparison), the world would be a Much Different place, starting with the GAs, the COB, and Utah.

these are ALL from the 'church' that instructs people regarding THEIR EARRINGS FGS, but when people do intentionally hurtful things to others.... they're AWOL!
