Former executives from Bain Capital, a company founded by presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney, have been accused of firing six out of seven members of a management team for not belonging to the Mormon church.
It's time to take a closer look at Willard Romney and his religion. It's illegal for companies to behave this way, but if some do it's not fatal. When the government behaves this way, democracy is dead.
It clearly is time. Willard has refused to even answer the questions, which is odd. Or maybe it isn't, since all of us know that he could lie through his teeth if he wanted to. His religion condones flim-flamming Gentiles.
ReplyDeleteI am not a great fan of the LDS, having known it up (relatively) close and having heard tales of how Bishop Romney behaved as a religious leader from a visitor to his congregation.
ReplyDeleteBut people should know that Mormons are no more monolithic than Muslims. Highly educated Mormons include some of the most amazing and decent people on earth. Romney is not one of them.
Anonymous' has a point that dismissing a whole group of people based on religion is bigotry. But it is simple fact, and not bigotry, to point out that the Mormon Church (but not all Mormons) practiced segregation until the 1970s, and has been associated with every sort of retrograde cause, most recently denying rights to gays.
To me, more worrisome, is the observation that fundamentalism of all kinds teaches people to lie. This is a problem in Christianity, Islam, Judaism, and the LDS. Romney is so extreme a liar that he can barely keep his story straight from moment to moment, much less month to month.
Does America need another sociopath in its highest office? Weren't two senseless wars, 5 Trillion in added debt, and a ruinous financial crisis enough?
Doesn't belong in government though. We need to find out just how devoted Willard is to his "faith" and what exactly is the nature of said "religion"
