The mind's a terrible thing to erase. Come CAPTION Mitt (black hole of personality) Romney!!!!



Mitt ("What am I talking to you people for?&quot Romney is saying: "I flatly deny that my adviser said any such thing! And if he did, his views do not reflect the ideals of our campaign, nor did he mean anything racial by saying Obama doesn't have the Anglo-Saxon heritage and cannot therefore truly understand the strength of the historical relationship we have with England. . . . But if he would have said such a thing, which of course he didn't, he only meant Obama doesn't have the same genetic temperament to distinguish true and abiding friendship from passing casual association due to his genetic predisposition. . . . That is, nothing whatsoever racial! But of course he didn't say it anyway."

Sorry, I don't ridicule people for their religious beliefs. I figure it makes mistakes worse. nt patrice Jul 2012 #1
Do you also ridicule Sufis? Hasidic Jews? Traditionally garbed nuns? People who wear crosses? nt patrice Jul 2012 #2
I'm ridiculing Romney who is exposing his racism in the CAPTION. skip fox Jul 2012 #3

Had no idea what it meant before.

But after hearing about it . . . Hell yes, it's silly. Just like talking snakes and men living in the bellies of whales. Like Bill Maher.

But out of deference to your sensibilities, I'll change it.

(If it wasn't magic drawers, you might not be taking the time to read the post, and invented quote channeling Romney's racial mentality . . . By the way, being black was sinful in the Mormon church until 1978! . . . And yes I find that stupid and harmful.

Or maybe you are just one of the contentious who like to exercise your confusions in public?)

The vast majority of nuns have not worn the habit in 35 years, and ALL of the ones with regular contact with the public don't....

Yet Every Hollywood movie has them in habits in the present day.

including 3 or 4 Sister Act movies

Nunsense

Late Night Catechism


And you know who loves those nun jokes the MOST? Catholics!

and any Hasidic Jew can tell you the difference between making fun of someone and true ridicule, after all their people nearly invented comedy.

and i haven't seen positive portrayals of Hindi religious figures ever btw.

to ATTEND the Olympics. No, No, I NEVER said I saved the Olympics, you are taking what I said out of context!
I heard there was a new flip-flop event and I thought I could qualify!"
