Mitt Romney (Immigration and Racism)
Quick Internet Search on Immigration
- He wants to make is so that illegal immigrants are unable to work in the US.
- Article says bad idea

- lived her for 10 years are more
- have families with US citizens

Quick Internet Search on Romney and Racist
- Racism - a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race
- Article claims that he is a racist because the Church to which he belong is racist.
- As a member of the Church myself and actively studied its doctrine for over 40 year, I can declare without equivocation that this is false.
- Moses 1:39 - Everyone is a child of God. He loves them and seeks to have them return to live with him. There are not exceptions.
- Not a good article
- Says that Brigham Young introduced the ideal that blacks are decedents of Cain.
- Wrong, this is taught in the Pearl of Great Price, a revelation received by Joseph Smith, not Brigham Young
- This is part of the Old Testament
- Says the revelation on the priesthood came because of pressure from the Carter administration
- Wrong. I remember the time. It was actually a lull in political pressure. I don't remember any discussion of the policy by the press or the Church.
- Says that Romney is racist because he refers to the Uncle Remiss story of the tar baby.
- How he gets from 'tar baby' to racist is beyond me.
- Says Romney is "anti-American and anti-Christian"
- I don't see anything that would support this in his article. Again, not a good article
- some points that could be valid
- missing Latinos and blacks from staff
- another bad Romney article
- simply attacks Romney character
- not much substance or thought
- Does talk about the Republican policy of demonizing different groups for political advantage.
- Sadly, I would have to agree with that.
- Not a good article
- The quotes of Romney are good.
- The letters from Donald Jessee are excellent
- Make assumptions that are incorrect
- that denying blacks the priesthood was racially motivated
- I was a missionary back than. We were never taught we were 'better than them' or anything else that was racial in intent.
- that Romney was evading the question with the answer he gave.
- first this is basically a "when did you stop beating your wife question"
- He did answer the question.
- "there's no discrimination in the eyes of God"
- i.e. the denial of priesthood was not racially motivated.
- "I could not have been more pleased than to see the change that occurred."
- i.e. I am not a racist. I was very happy to see the priesthood extended to the blacks.
