Mormons!

As my readers know, I have no particular fondness for Mormons. In fact, I registered as a Republican for the only time in my life simply to stop Mitt Romney. I said at the time, and I still hold to this, that I would rather have Obama or Clinton in the White House than a Mormon. I was going to vote for McCain, but I realized that what I was voting for was anti-Obama. I could still vote anti-Obama and not have to vote for McCain by voting for Keyes, which I did in good conscience. At least Romney lost, too.

However, the Mormons stepped to the plate, ironically, in defence of normal marriage, and they are taking considerable heat for it. As loath as I am to want to go out of my way to support a Mormon-owned business, or to number a Mormon among my friends, I have to salute the little devils on this one. We are not planning a winter trip, and probably would not go to Utah anyway, but if I were, I would have to consider it. Perhaps a trip to the small winemaking industry in Utah would be the proper way to go.

The funny thing is that the left, which is always singing its praises for democracy, seems to have not noticed that Prop 8 passed not because the people of Utah voted for it, rather because the people of California did. Of course when they lose an issue, it was because the people are stupid and were fooled by the baddies. When they win, vox populi, vox dei. Why don't the leftists boycott, and move out of, California? Go on, amscray. Give us our state back, all you weirdos from New Jersey, Ohio, Nebraska, etc., who come out here to import your twisted view of what California is? Raus!

So, for the moment, we are easing up on our open disdain for the Mormons and applying the same dignified nonchalance to them, too. Book of Mormon? Pearl of Great Price? Izzat so?
