1. An African Proverb:

"Beware the man in the black frocked coat; when he comes, he will have the book and you will have the land ... when he leaves; you will have the book and he will have the land."

Anyone see a common theme here?

2. He's a late-comer. ALEC are already corporations making laws some of us have to follow

such as the "stand your ground" law in FL, which comes from ALEC and cost Trayvon Martin his life.

Corporate influence/ownership of state is Fascism, per Mussolini's definition. Romney would be its naked face, but it is long since already here. Especially with the "Citizens United" ruling.

3. So who is going to tell all the evangelicals about Mormonism?

Frankly I think believing in a two thousand year old story of some guy might be questionable. You might actually want to review history of other religions that taught the same story. Of a messiah who died and rose again. There are several.

I still laugh at my contemporaries who are such awkward European descendants and think Jesus' last name was Christ. And they completely missed he a was Jewish Rabbi since there was no such thing as "Christian" back then. History is a funny thing. But it is very true my community and family was quite racist.

I am embarrassed to tell you the number of times my father used the phrase "Jew him down" when he meant negotiating a better price.

Not to mention Joseph Smith's story about golden tablets might have been a bit self-serving. If I am not mistaken he might have been known as a huckster and con man. Golden tablets and an angel Moroni delivering a message are a little bit odd.

Walking on water and feeding masses from two loaves and fishes do stretch the imagination if not realty too. Now that we are bit smarter many of us believe in physics and science in general. Physics dictates you can't create something from nothing. It has been a well-tested theory.

4. When hyperbole comes to DU

It will come wrapped in arguments that when fascism comes to America it will be wrapped in the flag and waving a cross.
