Peter,
If you have the time, read Webster Tarpley's book JUST TOO WEIRD. There's a lot of information about the Mormon religion in it. It was written about Mitt Romney (a Bishop of the Mormon clerical hierarchy) and his politics and business practices, but there is also a lot of history of the Mormon religion and people. They have been raised to be outsiders, and as we saw in the last presidential campaign, there was an underlying desire to harm the American people, their jobs, and their democratic government. It wasn't only the Tea Party and the rich conservatives, but listen to some of Romney's speeches.... Remember when Romney said the car companies should be let go to bankruptcy, meaning the car workers would lose their jobs? And "damn the 47 percent", or words to that effect? He would have destroyed this country.
BTW, did you know that his wife's parents were not allowed into the Mormon Temple to witness the wedding when Mitt and his wife Ann were married? Her parents were not Mormons, nor was she until she was converted
I don't believe all Mormons are as unpatriotic as the Romney family. Many are poor and hardworking people who find some comfort in their religion and in their communities. Some, like Senator Harry Reid, are good politiicans who respect the Constitution and the separation of Church and State. I have met many Mormons here in Texas and I find them to be sincere and honest people like most other people. I have a cousin who is a Mormon, converted from Lutheranism; and she is the only Mormon in my family (besides her children and grandchildren). Among my other relatives I have found a Russan Orthodox Catholic believer, lots of Lutherans, there is one of Jewish faith, a Roman Catholic, too, and a few atheists, So we all have to be tolerant of each other.
