Three Mormon Classics by CW

The Freemasons too, Mr. Smith

In the past few years, we've seen George W. Bush use his own religiosity as a campaign prop, and watched Catholic bishops upbraid John Kerry for not following Church doctrine on abortion. (Quite a difference from 1960, when JFK vowed to compartmentalize his religious and political identities.) The question today isn't whether politics and religion interact, but how.

If Romney does run - and if his candidacy is strong - it's a safe bet that the major media will offer bite-size synopses of Mormon history and theology. (Catholic politicians are lucky their faith is already well-known: when it comes to far-out doctrines, transubstantiation is hard to beat.) In the interest of not appearing judgmental or inflammatory, however, they'll probably gloss over the political usefulness of Romney's faith. That would be a mistake. The Mormon talent for politics is nothing to be ashamed of; in fact, it should be a point of pride. But it should also be discussed openly, and pondered at length. After all, it could make a big difference in '08.

Dont miss the classics of Huckabee speaking a the SBC convention in SLC in 1998, dont miss Huckabee speaking at an anti Catholic church.

By their fruits indeed, and dont miss the classic of pardoning over a thousand criminals, while they murder the innocent.

Dont miss the classic of Americans apying for sons of Mexico to go to school instead of their own.

By their fruits indeed.

Dont miss the classic of pastor coalitions using their tax exempt sanctuaries to pass out emails and voter information.

Dont miss the classic of Huckabee accepting 10000 dollars to speak at his buddy's church that preaches anti Catholic venom.

By their fruits you will know them.
