Who Shall We Have to Be Our President?
Prolog
I now stand here before you, today, ashamed of my silence in
this recent past. I have be reluctant to speak out, allowing for the ignorance and
miss information that has been spread about, over the last one hundred and
eight years that plagues this nation - A nation founded on the principal of
Freedom - I have been afraid that the subject about which I now speak would only serve
to distract from my purpose in this forum of preserving the Constitutional Republic
know as the United States of America. Yet
as I have sat by the very issues for which I stand accused of avoiding still
remain and now threaten to divide us.
Some now question their support for a man to lead this country
with out regard to his high moral character and devotion towards the betterment
of his country. They do not question
this man's integrity or his allegiance to those who wish to destroy the very
fabric of FREEDOM that holds us together as a people as one should question the
present occupant of the Oval office. They
hold this man unfit for office because they do not choose to agree with his religious
faith. I feel if you would know more about his faith and its teachings on law
and government maybe you would look on him more favorably or at least set aside
the issue of his faith as an issue to his eligibility to hold the office of
President.
Would Mitt Romney make a better President than Barack Obama?
That is an unfair question.
As Glen Beck said, his grandmother's shoe would make a better president
than Barack Obama. The question is could
a "Mormon" be a better president than Barack Obama.
Mormons and Government
You will not hear any endorsements or discussion about politics
in a meeting of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, as a matter of
principal such is discouraged. We feel that liberal democrats and communists
are also the children of God and as such need to hear the message of the
restored gospel like everyone else. That
is not to say that we hold such matters lightly and we are encouraged to be
supportive of good government. The church
teaches, as I believe and understand that the Constitution is a divine document
and is inspired of God, that the United States is a choice land set apart by
God and will be the last sanctuary of freedom in the world in the last
days. Look around is this not true now
as it was taught 180 year ago.
Joseph Smith was asked how he managed to govern a city of
over 20,000 on the edge of the wilderness in Nauvoo, Illinois in 1843 he told
them "I teach them correct principals and they govern themselves".
Brigham Young stated that he love the Constitution but went
on to stated his contempt for the rascals who administered it. I, like you, feel the same way today.
The Church and Freedom of Religion
I quote the articles of faith
11 We claim the privilege of worshiping Almighty
God according to the dictates of our own conscience, and allow all men the same
privilege, let them worship how, where, or what they may.
All we ask is the same respect.
In closing I offer you the rest of
the articles of faith for you review to see if there is any thing in them that
would prohibit a man from being a good President of these United States of
American.
THE ARTICLES OF FAITH
OF THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST
OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS
History of the Church, Vol. 4, pp. 535–541
1 WE believe in God, the Eternal Father, and in
His Son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost.
2 We believe that men will be punished for
their own sins, and not for Adam's transgression.
3 We believe that through the Atonement of
Christ, all mankind may be saved, by obedience to the laws and ordinances of
the Gospel.
4 We believe that the first principles and
ordinances of the Gospel are: first, Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; second,
Repentance; third, Baptism by immersion for the remission of sins; fourth,
Laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost.
5 We believe that a man must be called of God,
by prophecy, and by the laying on of hands by those who are in authority, to
preach the Gospel and administer in the ordinances thereof.
6 We believe in the same organization that
existed in the Primitive Church, namely, apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers,
evangelists, and so forth.
7 We believe in the gift of tongues, prophecy,
revelation, visions, healing, interpretation of tongues, and so forth.
8 We believe the Bible to be the word of God as
far as it is translated correctly; we also believe the Book of Mormon to be the
word of God.
9 We believe all that God has revealed, all
that He does now reveal, and we believe that He will yet reveal many great and
important things pertaining to the Kingdom of God.
10 We believe in the literal gathering of Israel
and in the restoration of the Ten Tribes; that Zion (the New Jerusalem) will be
built upon the American continent; that Christ will reign personally upon the
earth; and, that the earth will be renewed and receive its paradisiacal glory.
11 We claim the privilege of worshiping Almighty
God according to the dictates of our own conscience, and allow all men the same
privilege, let them worship how, where, or what they may.
12 We believe in being subject to kings,
presidents, rulers, and magistrates, in obeying, honoring, and sustaining the
law.
13 We believe in being honest, true, chaste,
benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; indeed, we may say that we
follow the admonition of Paul—We believe all things, we hope all things, we
have endured many things, and hope to be able to endure all things. If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of
good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things.
JOSEPH SMITH.
If Obama Must Go (OMG) where could
you find a better man to replace him than a man that believes these things????????
Keep you powder Dry and Vote for Freedom.
Yours as always
