Don't own a gun or can't own a gun?


I plan on getting one in the next year or two. Last I checked despite being a registered sex offender and on parole for aggravated assault I can own a weapon.

The interesting test will be if Huckabee wins the nomination. If so, then the new chant from Utah will be "four feet good" in order to ensure another Republican victory.

Does Orwell capture the true nature of Mormonism and other thought-oppressing dystopian ideas well in Animal Farm?

With the records of changes to policies and scripture along with the oppressive attitude of the leadership always knowing what is best, I believe so.

I guess All Mormons are equal, but some Mormons are more equal than others.



We can start naming the actual entities that have relevance here: the Democratic Party, the NEA, ACLU, NOW ATLA, the U.N. etc...you get the idea.

The only Mormons that are equal are first, those with ties to royalty (ie. GAs), and second, those with money (see Bednar, Uchdork).

The rest of them are fodder in the money making machine that is the Cult of Mormonism.

Only the first two will ever make it higher than MP. The rest will be replaced time and time again as they kiss ass trying to make it in the Morg.



This particular intellectual style, a kind of cross between Tex Marrs and Noam Chomski, is interesting for both is rabid anti-intellectualism as for its, as Nehor pointed out, paranoid hatred of an out group it does not understand and fears because something about it threatens its own house-of-cards view of the world.

The kind of people Infy has credibility with are cause for concern for the continuance of a free, civil society if they ever become truly a majority.

Yup, I'm the first person to use animal farm as an analogy describing totalitarianism. Blixa, sign me up for Postgrad work...I think I have one hell of a thesis.


I enjoy toying with you Merc. You amuse me.

The Church, totalitarian? Trivializing a very serious concept such as this marks you as an intellectual and moral midget Merc. You should be ashamed even to get up int the morning.



Funny, that bloodletting is more of a Mormon thing.


Huh?

As more and more wake up to how unsuccessful the Mormon track record is the behavior programmed into Mormons leaves them. Before this they are subject to the Mormon corporation. The tide will turn even further and maybe Utah can set their clocks forward 50 years. Hopefully the organization will come quietly into the new century, but I doubt it. With careers established among a small pond in provo and morons defending the indefensible on the internet, they will be a background noise to the good examination they are getting with Romney running for president. Unfortunately, he's not going to pass muster and with him goes the Mormon view, reinforced by his loss. Romney will lose and it will be blamed on Mormonism, because its an easy target. and I mean that with my sympathies in play. Its a raw deal for Mitt. But there are valid reasons eople will make that connection. Its something that Harry Reid knows and mitt will understand in Iowa.


1. Move on, nothing...nothing to see here.

2. Harry Reid is a political Hack of the first rank and a poster boy for the corruption and self serving arrogance of the leadership of the Democratic Party and of politicians in general. Birds of a feather...

At least you're not a Democrat. I think the Atonement covers everything but that and denial of the HG.
