The onslaught of hatred the LDS Church is receiving is horrific. The Catholic Church was also one of the Churches in the coalition called to battle the Prop 8, but they have not been singled out as much. So now I have double cards stacked against me.not only am I racist, but I am also bigoted because I not only believe in what the LDS Church was backing but am LDS. Sigh.emotions run high.
Now Tom IF we could get someone to do Battle with BIG money against HSUS, we would not even have to worry about the Springfield City Council and Bob Barker/animal rights/BSL/MSN, etc. This is an emotional battle also. For those of you that don't know the above initials: HSUS = Humane Society of United States (animal rights lobbyists for PeTA [People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals]) BSL= Breed Specific Legislation MSN = Mandatory spay and neuter On a different note: Springfield Concerned Pet Owners now have their own website and you are invited to visit to learn what is happening with the Springfield City Council and Pet Laws plus multiple websites to go to find about this battle that is waging across the US from city councils to county boards to state doctorates. Prop 2 in CA was a big one that was lost by animal welfare. Another was the Mass Greyhound racing ban passed there.

There are similar hate issues going on in California right now due to Prop 8 passing. There was a coalition that was made up of several churches and people for the yes campaign, and now one church, the LDS church has been singled out for anti ads, and calls for attacking them, their temples etc. On Fri, Nov 7, 2008 at 12:35 PM, CathyM <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: It is not the facts that scare me...It is that call of "racism" has already surfaced. I did not vote for Obama due to the color of his skin. He could be purple with pink polka dots, I don't care. My reasons that I did not vote for him are for a difference in beliefs of how to overcome what is wrong in this Nation. It is scary because the only one that can put a stop to the "racist card" being pulled every time things don't go the way that Obama wants, is for Obama to stand up and tell people don't do it. Time will tell on how this plays out, but here in SW MO we need to be aware of how the cards are falling against us as to the country's perception of who we are.

People can say that, but the stats tell differently. "White voters nationally favored McCain by a 55-43 margin - in Missouri, it was 57-42 for McCain. The vote percentage among Missouri whites this time was identical to 2004, when 57 percent of white voters favored Bush over Democrat John Kerry." http://www.kansascity.com/383/story/876884.html Apparently 57% of white voters in Missouri favor Republicans in general. And I hardly think that a 57-42 margin looks grossly different than the 55-43 nationwide margin. So if Missouri is racist for not election Obama, then the country as a whole must be racist since the margin is essentially the same. Of course the country as a whole elected Obama, so the whole reasoning doesn't even make sense. Reading the original article, I see that he only said that some racism tipped McCain over the edge to win such a narrow victory, but the above numbers argue against that as well. Under that analysis you have to assume that McCain gained more votes based on racism than Obama did. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ This is a Free Speech forum.
