It’s always amusing when people take a stand as if they have the absolute truth in regards to religion. In this case Evangelical Christians seem to have found a new “M” word to hate, and this time it’s not Muslims, It’s Mormons!
Now this is not a new conflict, but it has recently been thrusted into the limelight by Politics. within the last 8 years, 3 high profile Mormons have sought the presidency in the United States. Mitt Romney, Mike Huckabee, and John Huntsman. None have been successful yet, but currently the Republican Front-runner for their 2012 Presidential nomination is Mitt Romney.
But the vast majority of Republicans are finding it very difficult to support a Mormon candidiate, hence the calvacade of front-runners who are “NOT” Romney. One of the most outspoken people on this subject has been Dr. Robert Jeffress of the First Baptist Church in Dallas, Texas……..

My mother was a midwestern gal who was convinced the John Birch society was somehow affiliated with the Mormons, and their incredible ability at making lots of money. I don’t know if that’s true, (although the John Birch society was named after a Mormon shot by Communists in 1947) but I do know that the father of the Koch brothers, big Tea Party and conservative-puppeteers, was a co-founder of the John Birch Society.
