Mitt And Mormons

Stan Grimes
Mitt Romney threw his hat in the presidential race. Jerry Falwell threw his hat in a burning bush somewhere south of West Virginia. Evangelicals, charismatics, Methodists, Baptists, and Catholics are looking around for their shadows. Punxsutawney Phil has them folks. What's all the fuss? Mitt's a Mormon. Oh boy, now what do we do? We have a cultist running for the big office. Who cares? Remember separation of church and state?



Heck, I forgot the 1st Amendment was thrown out the window when George Junior got into the Whitehouse. Mitt, you go boy. What is it about Mormonism that scares you? Do they have horns on their heads? Oh, wait, I know what it is, it's polygamy isn't it? You're afraid Mitt's going to have seven First Ladies and thirty-nine kids running in and out of the Oval Office. Not to worry, it is all way cool now.



Mormons banned polygamy over a hundred years ago, at the suggestion of the Feds of course. The only polygamists left are splinter groups calling themselves Mormons, but mostly they're perverts wanting to sleep with young girls or somebody else's wife. Don't worry. Mormons are straight up in that element of life. They believe in one wife and fourteen kids…anti-abortionists each and everyone (even Mitt…now).



Hold your horses. By Jove I've got it. It's racism isn't it? You're thinking that for the longest time Mormons wouldn't allow Black males hold their esteemed Priesthood, because they thought Blacks were of the Cain lineage. Stop right there. It's not true. Mormons began allowing Black men to hold the priesthood back in the late seventies, uh…well, at the urging of the Feds of course.



Okay, okay that's not it. It's the chauvinism which exists in the Mormon Church isn't it. No sweat, Mormons might not allow their women to hold the priesthood, but they do let them have voice in their meetings. Gee, they even let women hold special "women" offices. They also allow them to work and stuff like that…oh, and even have babies. They're anti-abortionists you know.

So, tell me, what's the big deal? Mormons are no less enigmatic than any other religion. I think people are just plain jealous.
