Mormons are a Cult

Mormons believe Blacks are Cursed people they are the decedent of Cain.

Bringham Young stated the following: "For instance, the descendants of Cain cannot cast off their skin of blackness, at once, and immediately, although every soul of them should repent, obey the Gospel, and do right from this day forward. . . . Cain and his posterity must wear the mark, which God put upon them; and his white friends may wash the race of Cain with fuller’s soap every day, they cannot wash away God’s mark; The Lamanites, through transgression, became a loathsome, ignorant and filthy people, and were cursed with a skin of darkness … yet, they have the promise, if they will believe, and work righteousness, that not many generations shall pass away before they shall become a white and delightsome people; but it will take some time to accomplish this at best. Source: The Latter-Day Saints Millennial Star, vol. 14, p. 418

1848, Brigham Young, as President of the Mormon Church, first preached the "Curse of Cain Doctrine". He said that Negroes, whom he considered to be children of Cain (son of Adam and killer of Abel) had the "mark of Cain" (black skin and kinky hair and flat nose) and they could not hold the priesthood until Abel was resurrected, had children, and all of Abel's children were given the opportunity to receive the priesthood first, then the Curse of Cain would be taken off his posterity (Negroes) and they would have the priesthood like everybody else. Brigham Young started the "priesthood-ban" in 1848, banning all Negroes, and even white men with Negro ancestry, from the two orders of priesthood, and banning all Negroes from the House of the Lord (the Mormon Temple). Mormon Church leaders
Now you are probaly asking yourself well back in those day's everyone was a racist, the blacks where not able to hold the priesthood until 1968 and many LDS faithful still believe in the curse of cain.

Will the media "experts" ever learn--instead of trying to get the story first, they should try to get the story right. I really wish the media would write and end to those polls, stop trying to tell us what we are going to do before we do it, and just let the voters get on with their business without trying to influence those voters' choices. From "inevitable nominees" to writing candidates off prematurely, they have been wrong! The people of America have been doing this since before TV and the Internet were even invented--they know what they are doing. Perhaps the media needs to just be patient, tell us what each candidate is doing on a given day, and then back away and let the process take its course.

Nina - I was getting nervous that the obituaries for Clinton were a little premature. And as much as I was hoping for the polls to pan out, I was struck by the aggregate of only 8 points, and yet this overwhelming sense of it being a done deal. The only thing that had me believing was that it seemed the Clinton camp was looking at even worse internals.

Maybe there were, but I guess those were wrong, too.

I am sorry to be so outraged by Chris matthrews and chuck Dood, but sometimes you have to tell it as it is. Matthews and Chuck has been so bias, it goes beyond the pale.

As an Obama supporter I am completely flabbergasted at how every single public poll the 2 days before the primary could be so wrong. I feel completely let down by the media and the pundits. It absolutely disgusts me. Secondly, I don't know what New Hampshire Democrats can be thinking by giving Clinton the edge in New Hampshire. I have listened to more campaign speeches and read more research and opinion pieces on each candidate this election cycle than I ever have before, and I choose Obama because he embodies everything I've wished politics could be for the past 10 years. New Hampshire Democrats could have virtually united the party tonight and could have taken a step towards unifying our nation again, but instead chose the road of division and partisanship in Clinton. Y'know what? I'm not one of those idiots who say, "If Obama/Clinton/Edwards wins the nomination I'm voting Republican for the first time ever!!!1!" (what a stupid and childish thing to do, for surely one of the other two would accomplish more Democratic aims than any of the Republicans), but if Clinton gets the nomination I will vote none of the above. But above all that, Obama and what he represents and what all of his supporters represent from all across the political spectrum will continue the good fight on to South Carolina, on to Nevada, and to all the 50 states of our great nation. There is a wave and its going strong.

She connected to the voters in the rallies and the small cafes. She was strong and head on when the twosome were ganging up on her in the debate. She have beat the media and mean spirited bloggers such as many of you here!

Word out of New Hampshire is that the Clinton Campaign STAGED the "Iron my Shirt" heckling to rile up women voters. Clearly it worked. They will stoop to any level to put Hillary in office.

"Candidate with experience"? Are you kidding me? What experience does she have? If years as a first lady count then how about Barbara Bush? She was wife of a vice-President for eight years then wife of a President for four more, then mother of a president for another eight. According to the Hillary logic, Barbara Bush has more experience than any candidate in the history of politics.

I repeat, I have heard from friends in NH that the "Iron My Shirt" heckling was staged by the Clinton campaign itself to anger the women vote. I can't substantiate this, but I wouldn't be surprised.

Walter M Tampa, FL — Wed, 09 Jan 2008 05:58:23 GMT

Victory??!! Looks to me like they (Clinton/Obama) both won 9 delgates to the National Convention. The popular vote, at this stage, is not relevant. The candidates are running to gain delegates (1/2 +1) not the popular vote.

After NH, Obama still have more delegates (24 to 25) therefore he is still the front runner.

And an aside note regarding experience:

Hillary Clinton's experience is the same as any other of the First Ladies and is no more or less experienced than her rivals. Being elected to the Senate from a state that you never lived in is merely a political ploy and is not a sign of any great level of political savy.

Art 1, Sec 1, Clause 5 of the Constituion doesn't require a long resume to be President, nor does it ask for previous experience. Anyone can be President of the United States, it's one of the little things that makes this such a great place.

One thing I would like to point out to Obama supporters. Show some class. Last night Obama did a great thing by asking the people to give Hillary a round of applause for her victory and barely anyone clapped. Contrast that with Hillary giving praise to Obama and the rest of the Democrats and the whole place cheered. There is something to be said about how you handle defeat and how you handle winning. Many of you young Obama supporters are just down right mean spirited and forget to realize all of the Democratic candidates have done good things and they are not the bad people the pundits have made them out to be. I look at the Obama fan who refuse to shake Hillary's hand yesterday in NH. To me that's just being young and stupid. You can't treat this as a game. This isn't the Red Sox vs. Yankees. This is your country at stake. Even if G. Bush wanted to shake my hand, I would. It's called being an adult. The ironic thing is your candidate is preaching for everyone to come together, yet his young followers are some of the most hateful people on these post. It's time to grow up and start acting like adults and examine the issues and not just what Chris Matthews tells you.

After nearly 20 years of the tawdry Bush and Clinton families, do Americans think this is all some reality TV show?

It's not about beating a woman, it's not it being the first black male. People are tired of dirty politics. Crying because we are tired is great emotion, but leave it at home.
She was able to change in 5 days, because she finally showed us that she is is more human than we realized; is crazy. What face is she going to put on next?

I am not for showing a woman to be weak to compete in a male dominated society. She had my vote, but the strength is in the pudding and she lost it in my view.
Women spoke up for Hillary, because they had to "find their voices" as they feel this is a male dominated society, but I as a woman am not buying stock into the Clinton politics.

I think between the "pundits" and the piling on of everyone, if women especially didn't pause and say "wait a minute she deserves better". I also think that a lot of independents went with McCain since they didn't feel needed for Obama to win.

I watched gleefully as Chris Matthews grew quieter and greener last night as Hilary maintained her early lead. I watched CNN primarily for they are the best, but I flicked back and forth just to laugh at Matthews. I hope he enjoys his big portion of crow today. The only person from NBC or MSNBC that was decent about Hilary was David Gregory. The rest of them constantly put her down and criticized her. Chuck Todd was also not quite as bad as the others. I think it was the influence of
Matthews who is obsessed with taking Hilary down. You can bet that Hillary will not go on any of those CBS shows, probably not even Russert's.
I could not figure out why they wanted an untested inexperienced "Novice" to be president of our country and Thank Goodness he did not win again.
The young people that were out of college for the Holidays is what happened in the Iowa Caucuses.
They think Obama is entertaining and they were bored being out for the Holidays so they voted, they don't even know what his background is but they love his message and his jive.
As Hilary said "words don't equal actions"
I also think the piece that CNN did on his Kenya relatives and the picture they showed of Obama with a huge sack over his back when he was probably 16, very probably woke up a few people too.
I salute the intelligent folks of New Hampshire for voting for Senator Clinton and making her the winner of their primary.

Also... NH is just one state. This 'win' by Hillary does not assure her of getting the nomination so all of you Hillaryites need to get off your high horses and get back to reality. This thing is just beginning and Obama still has a chance of winning this thing.

Same thing applies to the other side... McCain won here last night and he won here in 2000... and he LOST the party's nomination. NH is not the determining factor, folks.

Dan, NY - I followed your link. I have a hard time believing in any conspiracy theory, because I doubt people could pull most of the ones I hear off without getting caught. I think I have to put this idea of election fraud in that same category.

If I understand correctly, the idea is that someone could hack into the electronic voting machines and alter the tabulations. I also understand (from the link) that these Diebold machines aren't used throughout the state - it said about 80 percent of the precincts use them.

Seems like an easy thing to look at the difference between the vote totals in those precincts and the other 20 percent that don't use the Diebold machines.

Even if there is a discrepency there, the disprepency could be from a world of factors other than fraud. But before even posting that stuff in a blog, it would have made the case at least a little intriguing by waiting for a day and then including a statistic about the percentages at Diebold precincts versus mechanical precincts.

Right now the only two relevant points are that 1) the vote didn't match the polls from the day before, and 2) a claim the voting infrastructure could be hacked.

With just that to go on, sorry, but its not that convincing.

I really wanted to support a Democratic candidate but truth be told at this juncture I feel more comfortable giving my prescious vote to Huckabee or McCain.

Hey Stephanie in Amherst NY, Name 3 things that Hillary has done to help your county? Did she get some research grants in there, maybe some road improvement money, some infrastructure enhancement?

Come on, just name 2 things.

Maybe even 1?

Maybe.........maybe she used NY for a shot at the White House. So much for her bringing 200,000 new jobs to NY. Rochester looks like a frigging ghost town compared to what it used to be and Buffalo is in a world of hurt. That was her campaign in 2000, not that any of you kool aid drinkers would remember that.

I have more respect for Shumer and I think he is a dirt bag. And no, I am not a Obama fan so please don't trash them, they are some of the few with any class left in this race.

NH are full of liars and racists.

They tell the pollsters they'll vote for Obama, yet turn around and vote for Clinton.

How else do you explain the inconsistency in the polls?

Happend to Gov. Wilder.

"Sorry, but OLD WHITE WOMEN cannot bring victory to the White House for Billary! "

Actually, if you paid attention to the breakdown, Hillary also - for the first time admittedly - won a decisive amount of young, single women in New Hampshire.

No coronation for anyone - we all get to vote — Wed, 09 Jan 2008 19:38:29 GMT

First of all, Hillary did not cry. There wasn't a single tear. She choked up visibly, but remember, she - like ALL the candidates at that point, had gone 4-5 days w/ about 3hrs sleep a nite and everyone's nerves were raw and no matter what anyone says, the media DOES pick her apart two to one more than anyone of either party.
I'm not necessarily for Obama or Hillary, but I'm happy that at least I will still have a say in the matter (My state votes 2/5).
But my real question is: Why, when Mitt Romney 'choked up' (or cried, depending on your spin) on Meet the Press re civil rights, did everyone praise him for finally showing some humanity, but for Hillary that only shows 'weakness' and that 'women can't rule'?
More than a little hypocrisy here I think.
For months, everyone has been saying Hillary’s too stiff (tho a man is just ‘reserved’), then when she shows some emotion, she’s weak. Seems she can’t win with some people.
Fortunately, others see it for the double standard it so obviously is and decided to overrule the pundits (and virulent bloggers) and give both candidates more of a chance.

The commentators missed the boat big time on the Hillary emotional speech. The history of superpowers is that they collapse after a run of arrogant, incompetent, corrupt and greedy polliticians. She was simply expressing concern that a continuation of the Cheney/Bush administration would eventually bring this great nation to its knees. It is a message that is supported by both parties. I could not agree more with her message.

To Stopwatchingfoxnews:

Show some class? Obama did in his speech. Hillary and Bill pulled out all stops in attacking Obama and so you could understand when Obama supporters are less than enthusiastic especially right after the 3% loss that was unexpected. Check out response of Hillary supperters from her Iowa concession speech. Obama's true character and class comes out also when reading the email exchanges between himself and McCain.

p.s. The reported "fan" who didn't shake Hillary's hand was an Edwards supporter. Get your facts straight or you lose

I am a women that is independent and a liberal. I am shocked at the women out there that are supporting Hillary just because she is a women and/or because she is married to Bill. Bill has showed more times than once his lack of respect for women and Hillary has played the victim far too long. Sen. Obama is the first person to make me feel passion for my country and makes me look forward to going to the polls.
