I am concerned that a Mormon President might carry an agenda based on his (or her) religious beliefs. They are a little out of the mainstream. A Presidential proclamation forcing Congress to be served green Jello at every luncheon is a little scary.


In my opinion, Quasimodo, you should put your mind at ease. I say this for two reasons: 1) Mitt Romney would no more have a religious agenda if he were president than he did as a captain of industry, or as a governor of a huge metropolitan area. Mormons believe in being subject to secular authority (kings, magistrates, rulers, congress, the American people). 2) Romney may not win the nomination.

That's because you are a liar, brade. And an anti-mormon.

I'll try harder to inspire more outrage.

You might want to contact your ISP, because whenever he posts it looks to me as if James Madison, Aristotle, St. Augustine, and Stephen Hawking were fused into a singular, penetrating intellect.

Tautology! I hope you teach your students better than that.

Do you imagine there would be a loud hue and cry? I think it would be very loud and forceful.

Not to mention what would happen if it were suggested that an atheist should be allowed to be President.

You may be certain.

The mystery is how this "well educated" "thinker" still remains stuck in that cycle.

Or as he might style it: "the" mystery is "how" this well educated thinker "still" remains stuck "in" that cycle.
