Article VI Blog Is On Vacation . . .
Due to John's absence to handle family matters, and Lowell's absence for an unexpected trip to the Northwest, we will not be posting Friday, June 8. But we'll be back on Monday, June 11, with all cylinders firing.
But we will not leave you with nothing to read! Here are a few quick tidbits:
K-Lo comments on the possible relevance of Romney's having served his Mormon mission in France. Wow. Missionaries have no say over where they are called to serve. If France becomes an issue for Romney, we will have reached a new low.
Here are some thoughts about the religion-related significance of Jay Sekulow being on Romney's team.
This writer (not a Mormon) is passionate about the The Question:
The men who died on Omaha Beach and Okinawa were Catholics, Baptists, Methodists, Reform Jews, Mormons and Orthodox Jews. But I do not look at the rows of crosses (or the Star of David memorials in military cemeteries) and see theology. I look and see brave men who died for America and for all that America represents. Those of my fellow Christian conservatives who “will never vote for Mitt Romney because he is a Mormon” should re-read George Washington’s moving letter to the Jews of Newport, in which he speaks not only of a land in which Jews are free in every legal and political sense, but more importantly a land which gives “bigotry no sanction.” The Father of our nation was writing, not in legalese, but in Christian tolerance of all those who wish to live here in peace and with patriotism (which the Jews of Newport emphatically wished to do.) Live here as loyal Americans, Washington said, and you are not just tolerated, you are welcome. Governor Romney, not my choice for the Republican nomination, you are not just tolerated but welcome.
Until Monday!
