I have to admit that the silence from the rest on this board is shocking at the least.

Children call people they disagree with names, stupid adults call them nazis.
If relating my experience - what actually happened on more than one occasion - is upsetting you perhaps you need to take a hard look in the mirror.

It sounds like your friend was really willing to live his life as an example - let his deeds do the talking. One thing that often gives religion a bad name is how few people really live their lives devoted to the tenets of their faith. I know my response to the call to serve is anemic at best. And talk about "judge not, lest ye be judged." WHOOPS!

I'm not sure why I'd need to look in the mirror?
As for the Goebbel's reference just take a moment and read the thoughts on the Jews and why they should be eliminated by the Nazi party, it's almost verbatim with what you posted.
That being said would you not do business with a qualified friend of yours first before you went to a stranger?

I try to buy as much stuff from my town as I can. I could get gas a dime cheaper in the city, but it's a company card anyhow, so I figure the revenue may help Gardner. It's a no brainer to do business with someone you trust and want to help.

Interesting example - gas prices. The gas prices in Kansas are about 8 cents per gallon higher than Missouri. No value judgment here - just filling in the picture.
Another interesting difference - MO does not charge sales tax on thift store purchases - something that affects us vintage audio geeks a little bit.

So you are saying I want to exterminate Mormons? Or am I just like a mass murderer for relating my experience.
There has been few personal attacks on this board. Some, but not many. Shall I liken your opinions to say child rapists. Nambla members? Just pick the most insulting thing you can think of.
Shall we look at some other statements from your wonderful simile? "Whoever can conquer the street will one day conquer the state, for every form of power politics and any dictatorship-run state has its roots in the street."
And the Mormons too believe you've got to be a Mormon to go to heaven. Please expand on that.

Hi, I'm new to this forum and would like to introduce myself by sharing my thoughts on this years GOP.
I don't know where this thread has been heading, far away from the original discussion but anyway...
Herman Cain and his "999" or "666" plan will leave us American broke and the great depression would look like Happy Days. Cain encourages the middle class and poor to buy used goods including food if they want to pay less in taxes. Anyone for that matter would pay more in taxes then they do today if they bought new goods on a regular basis.
This is a terrible plan and would destroy jobs as people would try to always buy used and some things cannot be bought used so you're stuck anyway. Then after this tax is settled in a VAT and Carbon tax would be introduced. He was also caught lying. Cain has lost my vote.
Mitt Romney seems to have a vendetta against Rick Perry and likes to spend most of his time bashing him instead of focusing on his campaign. I've watch about 3 different interviews with him where I overheard a person whisper to him what to say. This tells me he's a puppet unable to think for himself and possibly part of the Hitler originated NWO that George Bush Sr. spoke about and now Obama has come out with it. So Romney has lost my vote.
Rick Perry must be illiterate and wasn't taught proper english. He also likes to bash Romney without focusing on his campaign and he's a huge liar. He changes positions more than I change underwear. Perry has George Bush comedy written all over him and would be fun to watch but not someone I want as my President. Mandatory Vaccines do not appeal to me either.
One other guy has made an impact in the polls. The other candidates have not done much.
Ron Paul is the only candidate who makes any sense to me. He wants to defend the constitution, go back to sound money, get rid of the Fed and IRS and replace them with nothing meaning your contributions to the Government are up to your state. Making government small and putting it back in the hands of the states and the people makes a lot of sense and is what our founding fathers wanted. If you think about it we're living in the ancient times today and our founding fathers were trying to progress our nation into the future but everyone just ignored the constitution for the most part.
Ron Paul also came out with his budget plan on October 17th and after reading through it he wants to eliminate 1 trillion within the first year and is willing to take a $39k salary, that of the medium income family. Since 2000 (after Clinton) our country has not had a positive budget. Especially since Obama became president our deficit has tripled and has not been so low since the 1930s. Ron Pauls budget puts our deficit back in the positives within 3 years of office. Sounds like a winner to me.
I'll be registering republican so I can vote Ron Paul in the primaries, then I'll go back to independent.
You guys can do what you want but the mainstream media is not the place to get your information in order to have an educated, unbiased opinion. Go to each candidates website individually and study them, then you can make a well informed decision.
Screw the sides of left and right blah blah I don't care. If you are for the constitution, want money actually worth something and want to take back control of your country, Ron Paul is the only avenue to do that.
Thanks guys, this is an interesting forum. I'll be here to educate the best I can if people are willing to listen.

There's a lot of things I like about Paul, but that's neither here, nor there, nor anywhere.
Mitt's the designated hitter, and will be going to bat, unless something big happens in the next year. Which is always possible, I suppose.
At least that appears to be the nature of things to me.
