Question: “Can a Mormon be President? I speak specifically of Mitt Romney.

According to the The Christian Science Monitor, conservatives are more patriotic than liberals: “…In Monitor interviews conducted during the July 4 weekend, words such as “love” and “loyalty” toward America flow easily, as do expressions of belief in the ideals of freedom and democracy.

“Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean called the rationale used in a decision by the New York appeals court reaffirming a ban on gay marriage “bigoted and outdated,” RAW STORY has learned. …”Today’s decision by the New York Court of Appeals, which relies on outdated and bigoted notions about families, is deeply disappointing, but it […]
