I had to come out of retirement for this one.
I wasn't surprised when I heard the news on the radio this morning that the
liberal main stream Mormon church is bending on homosexuality. (No obvious jokes, please.) According to the linked story, Mitt Romney is behind this.
Whether he is or not, I wasn't surprised to hear the news. You see, way back in February 2008
I told you that Mormonism is not "Conservative." It's "old fashion." There's a difference. Fashions change. Conservative Values do not.
I also said it again in August 2008,
when I explained that Mormonism, by its own admission, is constantly changing. Ask any Salt Lake City Mormon (as opposed to a so-called "Fundamentalist" Mormon). The former will tell you they believe in "modern revelation." That their god is (ahem) 'progressing,' always learning new things. That what was true in Joseph Smith's or Brigham Young's day isn't necessary true today. (Blacks couldn't inherit the priesthood then, now they can.) And, by extension, what is true today may not be true tomorrow. (Polygamy was okay before Statehood, now it's supposedly not okay. But it will be okay again someday, as I've documented somewhere in this blog, citing the Mormon church's own statement.)
When rules or doctrines or beliefs are constantly changing, we say that's "Liberal." It's interesting to note that even Mormons use the word "Progressive" to describe their own god and in their own doctrine. TAKE THE HINT! Mitt Romney is not a Conservative. Nor can he ever be as long as he's Mormon. It goes against his religion.
Even Rush Limbaugh, who at one time was a Mitt Romney fan, is starting to make distinctions between those who call themselves "Republican" vs. those who are truly "Conservative." (i.e.
RINO's)
Speaking of that, so now you're all up in arms about the Democrat's health care bill and how you'll have to pay even if you don't buy health insurance? But remember,
Mitt Romney thought of this first. Why weren't you up in arms then?
