Neoconservative Jingoism Plus Mormon Delusion Equals Perpetual War
AlteNet / By Frank Schaeffer
October 19, 2012


The danger to our military families posed by having a man in the White House whose knowledge of the world seems to only extend to avoiding military service, tax shelters, investing in Chinese sweat shops and a stint as a missionary in France, comes from the fact that to be a good Mormon one has to be jingoistic and combative about foreign policy. So if he's elected let's pray Romney isn't a good Mormon! Let's hope he's faking it!

Bill Maher said: "In 100 years this country will be Mormon. It's a stupid religion and a stupid country. They were made for each other." I hope Maher's wrong. However one proof that he's right about our stupidity is that we Americans debate the impact Romney may have on the economy while ignoring his unique Mormon-inspired potential to get Marines like my son killed.

And that's where Romney's combination of Mormon theologically-inspired ignorance of the world and neoconservative stupidity will be deadly if Romney's elected.

Don't get me wrong I could care less about Romney's personal religious beliefs. It's his foreign policy and how those "personal beliefs" may get people like my Marine son killed that scares me.

A bad combo all around
