[Vision2020] Here I am With President Romney

[deb]

Imagine my surprise and giggles to see Donovan defending Mormons by saying it is rude and mean to go after someone because of their religion! Having born the brunt of his displeasure regarding my practice of my religious beliefs, this is a real belly laugh!

You go, Donovan! Keep up the good work! Just please don't report me to the Unitarians again!

    Donovan, I disagree.  I find Mormons have a lot of fun poking fun at themselves.  One of the funniest events I ever attended was a Salt Lake City teachers' meeting where the evening's entertainment was a fellow who traveled the LDS Church circuit with a hilarious monologue based on Mormon traditions--the one I remember was the Mormon women work at crafting clusters of grapes in resin for table decorations.  But there were others touching on polygamy, garments, etc.  I'm willing to bet you, most LDS folks weren't nearly as offended as you were, and they can take up for themselves anyway.

    This is disgusting Hansen!

    I really would think that a person such as yourself who claims to be liberal would find this kind of media poking fun at millions of people's religious faith as intolerable. 

    You know, there are millions of good people that are Mormons in the country, and while I might not agree with all the points of their faith, poking fun at them for their faith is unAmerican, prejudiced, very discriminatory, not to mention arrogant. 

    I think you owe all the Mormons and their friends on this list an apology for promoting this kind of negative campaigning as acceptable. 

    And as if you couldn't find something else to dog on Romney as to have to shoot below the belt and go for his faith. Do you not realize that this hurtful to all Mormons when you promote this garbage? 

    Best Regards,

    Donovan

      Hello Hillary, Hey Giuliani 
      Here I am with President Romney 
      How he won this was a riot 
      Newsweek caught you two in bathrobes at the Hyatt

      Mitt says our land needs reformin' 
      'Cause it's not completely Mormon 
      So protesters must speak softly 
      And the War on Drugs now targets tea and coffee

      For his talks with dignitaries 
      Mitt just sends the missionaries 
      And state dinners - gee, they're mellow 
      All the heads of state bring casserole and Jell-o

      Heads on Rushmore - you would dig 'em 
      Mitt just sculpted Brother Brigham 
      And the anthem needed switchin' 
      So it's now "I Hope They Call Me on a Mission"

      Oh my word 
      He got elected 
      Oh my gosh 
      How unexpected 
      'Cause he's quite 
      Distinctly male and white 
      Despite 
      His V.P. Gladys Knight

      Oh my heck 
      The far right trounces 
      Mormon lives 
      So Mitt renounces 
      Plural wives 
      But deep down they're OK 
      As long as none are gay

      Now I don't know where we're headin' 
      But it might be Armageddon 
      So you sinners better move it 
      'Cause we're in the latter days and Mitt will prove it

      I must meet the Elders' Quorum 
      At the White House here in Orem 
      So I'll run now - this is awesome 
      We'll be swearing in Chief Justice Donny Osmond!
