Mia Love vows to "take [Congressional Black Caucus] apart"

[bullmikey]

Were you wearing a uniform when she met you?

Nah, the first time we met I was in a really gaudy Hawaiian polo (parrots, pineapples, and palm trees in a riot of noisy colors, I think), faded and frayed cutoffs, and my favorite ball cap (the one with all the fishing lures decorating it). After we got married she burned the shirt and made me hang the cap on a peg, but she did let me keep the cutoffs until they finally fell apart years later. So it wasn’t the uniform caught her eye at first; I hardly ever wore one where I was then. Anyway, one thing led to another, and after thirty-something years she still won’t let me wear that damn ball cap unless I’m actually going fishing.

She let you keep the cutoffs didn't she? Count your blessings fella!

"In a speech that drew sustained applause at the GOP convention Tuesday night, Ms. Love recounted her parents’ journey to the U.S., saying they arrived with only $10 in their pockets.

“The America I grew up knowing was centered in self-reliance and filled with the possibilities of living the American dream,” said Ms. Love, the mayor of Saratoga Springs, Utah."

Watch her speech: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lfop5TeDnZo

"When tough times came, they didn't look to Washington. They looked within."

[Sprightly]

Wow. Good thing that Ms. Love is a strong black woman otherwise kandace, pf, et al, would chain her up for actually being her own person and following her path -- not the path dictated by them. How dare she!

[demopublican]

Typical silly Negro right winger demanding to be oppressed.

Why is this racist allowed to stay here and post year after year?

[boink]

Wow, Ms. Love is a very impressive woman!

The CBC is institutionalized racism. It is the new Klan.

only to idiots

Again, what do you think of Muslim women "following their own mind"?

I really don't agree with much of what kandace posts, but really if [people] like sushi, gurgle, shadow, spanky et. al. are allowed to stay here and post year after year it's a no brainer that kandace should be as well.

Oh, didn't do that... someone resurrected a thread from the dead huh? Whew... I actually feel better now cause I was not looking forward to a return of the Balt Observer style of lunacy

Since we're not in Utah, I don't think we need too many Mia Love threads here, so I merged today's thread.

I agree that she is on par with sushilover, tristan, and TheResearcher.

All this culture war stuff aside, the idea of announcing this sort of strategy immediately negates it since you can't get inside a group if that group already knows you've set out to undermine it.

That strategy is working fine for the Religion of Peace.

So, nobody wants to respond to the posts on Mormon race teachings. I can't imagine why.

Do the Mormons still believe and teach that or are you going back in history to find offense again?

[Wes]

I wonder why Auntie Love, by seeking public office, is disobeying the tenets of her own Mormon religion, which holds that Blacks are inferior to Whites and should be treated as such:

Mormon apostle Mark E. Petersen gave a talk at Brigham Young University in 1954 concerning race relations. Here are select parts of that talk:

“Think of the Negro, CURSED AS TO THE PRIESTHOOD.... This negro, who, in the pre-existence lived the type of life which justified the Lord in sending him to the earth in the lineage of Cain with a BLACK SKIN, and possibly being born in darkest Africa—if that negro is willing when he hears the gospel to accept it, he may have many of the blessings of the gospel. IN SPITE OF ALL HE DID IN THE PRE-EXISTENT LIFE, the Lord is willing, if the Negro accepts the gospel with real, sincere faith, and is really converted, to give him the blessings of baptism and the gift of the Holy Ghost. If that Negro is faithful all his days, he can and will enter the celestial kingdom. He will go there AS A SERVANT, but he will get celestial glory.”

“The discussion on civil rights, especially over the last 20 years, has drawn some very sharp lines. It has blinded the thinking of some of our own people, I believe. They have allowed their political affiliations to color their thinking to some extent, and then, of course, they have been persuaded by some of the arguments that have been put forth.... We who teach in the Church certainly must have our feet on the ground and not be led astray by the philosophies of men on this subject... “I think I have read enough to give you an idea of what the negro is after. He is not just seeking the opportunity of sitting down in a cafe where white people eat. He isn't just trying to ride on the same streetcar or the same Pullman car with white people. It isn't that he just desires to go to the same theater as the white people. From this, and other interviews I have read, it appears that the negro seeks absorbtion with the white race. He will not be satisfied until he achieves it by intermarriage. That is his objective and we must face it. We must not allow our feeling to carry us away, nor must we feel so sorry for negroes that we will open our arms and embrace them with everything we have. Remember the little statement that we used to say about sin, 'First we pity, then endure, then embrace.'...

“Is there reason then why the type of birth we receive in this life is not a reflection of our WORTHINESS OR LACK OF IT in the pre-existent life?...can we account in any other of way for the birth of some of the children of God in darkest AFRICA, or in flood-ridden CHINA, or among the starving hordes of INDIA, while some of the rest of us are born here in the United States? We cannot escape the conclusion that because of performance in our pre-existence some of us are born as Chinese, some as Japanese, some as Indians, some as Negroes, some as Americans, some as Latter-day Saints. THESE ARE REWARDS AND PUNISHMENTS, fully in harmony with His established policy in dealing with SINNERS AND SAINTS, rewarding all according to their deeds....



The Mormon church owned Deseret News printed apostle and future prophet Ezra Taft Benson's words concerning civil rights:

“LOGAN, UTAH—Former agriculture secretary Ezra Taft Benson charged Friday night that the CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT in the South had been 'FOMENTED ALMOST ENTIRELY BY THE COMMUNISTS.' “Elder Benson, a member of the Council of the Twelve of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, said in a speech at a public meeting here that the WHOLE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT WAS 'PHONY.'...
“'The whole slogan of 'civil right' as used to make trouble in the South today, is an exact parallel to the slogan of agrarian reform' which they used in China,' he added....
“'The pending 'civil rights' legislation is, I am convinced, about 10 per cent civil rights and 90 per cent a further extension of socialistic federal controls,' Elder Benson said, 'It is part of the PATTERN FOR THE COMMUNIST TAKE-OVER OF AMERICA.'“ (Deseret News, December 14, 1963)

Hmmm , sounds like Ron Paul.

At the 135th annual conference of the Mormon church, apostle Bensen declared thusly:

“'What are we doing to fight it? BEFORE I LEFT FOR EUROPE I WARNED HOW THE COMMUNISTS WERE USING THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT TO PROMOTE REVOLUTION AND EVENTUAL TAKEOVER OF THIS COUNTRY. WHEN ARE WE GOING TO WAKE UP? WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THE DANGEROUS CIVIL RIGHTS AGITATION IN MISSISSIPPI? DO YOU FEAR THE DESTRUCTION OF ALL VESTIGES OF STATE GOVERNMENT? “'NOW, BRETHREN, THE LORD NEVER PROMISED THERE WOULD NOT BE TRAITORS IN THE CHURCH. WE HAVE THE IGNORANT, THE SLEEPY AND THE DECEIVED WHO PROVIDE TEMPTATIONS AND AVENUES OF APOSTACY FOR THE UNWARY AND THE UNFAITHFUL. BUT WE HAVE A PROPHET AT OUR HEAD AND HE HAS SPOKEN. NOW WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO ABOUT IT? Do Homework “'Brethren, if we had done our homework and were faithful we could step forward at this time and help save this country.” (Salt Lake Tribune,April 7, 1965, p. A-5)

Fortunately, God changed His mind about all that race stuff. That was mighty white of Him.

Really, Wes? Not that you care, but I expect such craziness from Kandace, but not you. Why can't you just be proud of a strong black woman who has carved her way in life? Why can you only be proud if she walks your walk and talks your talk?

Very sad indeed.

Reads like numerous southern democrats in the 50's almost word by word.

I can’t get with or understand any black person who would become a part of the Mormon church. They’re racist roots run too deep for me a fathom any kind of alliance with them. It’s almost like a jew that wants to become a part of the nazi party….. because the nazi's have now had a change of heart concering their nasty past....
