An open letter to Mit.

Dear Mit Romney,
I flipped a coin today. Heads, write about Pearl Harbor, tails, write a letter to you. It’s tails! There are more qualified people who could write about Pearl Harbor anyway.
You seem like a nice guy and you got a nice family too. This not personal but I think you are in error in your interpretation of the U.S Constitution. I watched your speech on C-Span at the Bushes Library Texas. You must have passed your course in public speaking in college. You are a good speaker but not a great orator. JFK was a great orator, but you? I could hear you speak at some board of directors in some corporation. Maybe you should seek a CEO job? OK, so you speak in a plain tonal matter and it’s kind of nasally.
As far of you being a Mormon? I couldn’t care less! Heck! You could be a Scientologist! I like Tom Cruise as an actor and that’s where it ends. I do not care about his personal like or his personal beliefs.
The forefather’s brilliance in their creation of the Constitution was very specific about Religion in the public square. Public property is a place of neutrality; the public street is a place where first amendment right can be demonstrated! However, public schools, courtrooms are places where government business takes place, secular objectivity must be maintained. Here comes a sports analogy! Can you imagine an umpire wearing a baseball cap of the opposition team playing? Would that be fair? The public square is like an umpire and it is neutral. That is why it is not an issue that you are a Mormon, your allegiance to the Constitution not to your church. Swell, you know that! So lets move on.
On subject of SECULARISM: I know that you are a politician and you are fishing for votes. Using religious right buzz phrases as, Secular Humanism or as another right wing broadcaster says: Secular progressives, is not only erroneous but it is non-existent. Secularism does exist in the U.S Constitution. It is called objectivity. We can’t call ourselves, “Objectivists” because folks would think we are followers of Ayn Rand and we are not. So we refer to our selves as, “Secularists”. When you say: Secularism is a religion, then you do yourself a disservice. Yes, you are trying to appeal to the religious right. You need their votes. But no matter what you say, they are going to reject you. Check this out: http://www.mormonconspiracy.com/. The Religious right does not like you. It is safe to attack Atheists, agnostics, or even Satanists, because we not a big voting block. But come on dude! Isn’t objective truth worth defending? The American has a modicum of perspicacity. They can see who is pandering for votes.
That’s all I wanted to say, so you come knocking on my door on some Saturday offering me some pamphlets, I might invite you in and offer you a lemonade. You can watch me drink beer. You have a nice day!

Sincerely,
Ronnie Roach.

1. Beautifully Stated...
Clear and concise statement on the issue. They want it both ways; we can't let them have their way any longer.
Thanks, I agree with you 1000%.

2. Mitt Doll with exchangable values costumes, batteries not included
Whenever I see Mitt Romney, even from when he was helping SLC with it's Olympic Games challenges I get the distinct impression of a very slick used car salesman and the American people are the shills. Maybe it isn't his oily countenence and nasaly tone but more the sanctimonious sneer and practiced nods. He comes from a long line of Mormons who've perfected this "Public Persona" in their weekly meetings, BYU and televised broadcasts. That half turn at the podium and head nod that suggests he's coming down a notch to casual, "I'm going to let you in on the secret" pose. I grew up Mormon and saw this all the time, especially in the church heirarchy. The more they blink their eyes in a practiced show of "Deep spiritual sincerity" and soften the voice to a BYU pentameter and sing songy tone, the bigger the lie they're telling. The Mormon leaders are so skilled at this tactic andit's been practiced from the inception of the church by their biggest leader/liar, Joseph Smith. Brigham Young mastered it better than any in his time and his manipulation of the press and our govt. for his dirty and corrupt secrets and power is legendary. The documentation is overwhelming on all these counts. I believe Mitt Romney is just the latest puppet mouthpiece in this church's history of lies, manipulation, and absolute distortion of truth, history, or fact. They invented obsfucation. Go to http://www.mormoncurtain.com/ and do a little browsing.

The Mormon people aren't bad, just their doctrine and religious practices. Beware America if you are foolish enough to support or elect such a charletan. He'll jettison loyalties faster than grease through a goose when it comes to holding true to any value he professes at at the moment. He's a puppet of the Repub. party and I highly suspect under all that makeup is JEB BUSH, just waiting for his turn in the drivers seat.
