It is appalling for a published writer such as Ross Douthat to publish a piece based on a very successful man while the writing’s tone is “Weirdness”. The tone seems very weird in itself. Weird people are normally off the mainstream of society; but, Mitt Romney appears to be a model that most people would like to emulate.
He is a Harvard graduate, he has built a successful business and he has a successful family. Such qualities are the model success dream envied by most people. These accomplishments are in parallel with a logical thinking process. So, the controversy on the article makes itself “weird”, or perhaps the writer being the “weird one”.
So, let’s play by Douthat’s tone about Romney’s, religion, which seems to be where the writer wanted to focus on without needing to know about what the LDS Church is about. Without the need to read the Book of Mormon or knowing about the LDS Church, we all know in general that the LDS church focus on self-discipline—a desirable quality, it focus on kindness--another desirable quality, it focus on self-reliance—another desirable quality, it focus on being industrious—another desirable-quality, and it focus on the future—eternal salvation.
If Douthat considers these qualities “weird”, than the writer should set an appointment with a good psychologist, and take the advice that would come.
Seems, whoever, that like most anxiety writers, Mr. Douthat was trying to attack LDS Church; but, by either lack of knowledge or without the desire to research, he chose Mitt Romney as the scape goat.
Perhaps Mr. Douthat should research religion in general; yes, from the over 5,000 religions today, he could focus on the predominant American faiths and check it out. To do that would take time, but if Douthat would do the research, his writing would have an intelligent sound.
He would find that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, contrary to popular religions, it is merely following the entire bible, while religions-for-profit focus on self-justification. Mormons preach for the love of God, rather than self-gain.
Such qualities from the LDS church is precisely what America needs at this time of disarray.
Mtt Romney would bring integrity to the White House—something on high demand now. So, if Mitt would bring his ‘Mormon’ values to our government, could that hurt the US in any way? On the contrary, being industrious, self-reliant, and being successful with integrity, with kindness and sharing is precisely what we need in our leaders.
Though, I don’t support Mitt Romney, Romney, thus far Mitt appears to
be the best candidate we have to bring confident to our government and to lead the country into prosperity with integrity.
So, Keeping still with Douthat’s tone, where is the “weirdness”? If anyone knows Mr. Ross Douthat, personally, please give him hand; try to persuade him into a good psychologist. That way, his next article will be toned on fact and integrity.

Who is Warmingup the Earth?
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424053111903341404576482163192427524.html
Will Volcanoes Cool Our Warming Earth?
by
John S. Dykes
----------------------------------------
My Take
Should we outlaw research and articles like John S. Dykes’? This article, as well as archeology, are showing the path of nature, thus exposing biased research. Many jobs are at stake here. Many grants and easy taxpayer money is disturbed by information on reality.
All archeologists who show that the Sahara desert was a fertile land about 6,000 years ago with crocodiles, should be arrested. Also, anyone who finds dinosaurs in places that are now desert, should be incarcerated for life. And news showing anything other than temperature increases, should barred. Info about elephant bones in the American southwest should be destroyed. I have even read in the news about old vegetation in what has been for centuries icecaps.
Please, info like that will destroy the carbon-foot-print business. Will the liberal academia be dishonored if info like this keeps on circulating? absolutely. But, who are we, to argue with people who have doctorate degrees and have their bodies making laws?
Those who live mostly off the ignorance of society, will present a thesis to prove that their credentials are worth the paper it is printed on. The politicians will go along with the loudest drum beat, and life goes on. At the bottom of the social rang, Joe D. Taxpayer will pay for everything, one way or the other.
He has wide shoulders and smiles when he is told that all is well and he is a hero who works hard. Meanwhile, the sophisticated upper class will disdain even being near Joe D. Taxpayer. Oh, I forgot to say that people are warming up the earth. Just ask All Gore, he wrote plenty about it when he was on the comfort of his heated swimming pool; and then, he got a Nobel-Peace prize for it.

Actress and comedian -- a joke? for President?
http://www.thirdage.com/news/roseanne-barr-announces-presidential-run_08-05-2011
Actress and comedian Roseanne Barr is joining the race for the White House in 2012
The more the merrier, we need all kinds. Playing? after all, if Obama II could, anyone can. I guy with practically no experience in politics becomes president. A secretary of state who never had any active experience, is playing the big girl’s role. And, they are doing just as good as Bush did. So, why not another know-nothing, for president. The closer they are to professional politics the worse they are.
On the other hand, will she be just a distraction to help Obama II. This could be very interesting. Not running in the primaries? thus, not hurting the birthday guy. Sometimes there are games played only for appearance, but with a planned affect. Could this actor just be playing the actor in politics as a favor to her movement?

The Mormon church and the media’s ‘cult’ box
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/on-faith/post/the-mormon-church-and-the-medias-cult-box/2011/07/19/gIQAZgj9NI_blog.html?fb_ref=NetworkNews
The Mormon church and the media’s ‘cult’ box
-----------------
My Take
It is amazed, when society evolves and people get more educated and thus more reasonable, there are still some who either by bigotry or by ignorance are still falsely labeling the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints-- LDS (Mormon) Church as a cult. That is precisely what the Pharisees did when Jesus exposed the truth, without self-gain.
Such accusers could appear more educated if they would only research the LDS church. Such finger pointers, would find that the LDS Church follows the bible entirely- both old and new testaments. On the contrary, professional religionists preach for profit. There is where they get into false accusations, there is a conflict of interest.
Normally, those who say that the LDS Church is cult, have not researched the LDS church. Such people normally quote other people. Also, the anti-LDS groups, need to oppose the LDS church to maintain their daily bread. For, the LDS preaching is done for the love of following Jesus’s Counsel and helping others to study and return to God, if they choose. On the opposite side, those who normally oppose the LDS church, are full of hate. They have nothing good to say.
At the same time while the LDS church remains a victim of hate since near two centuries ago, when Joseph Smith first told people that he had seen a vision of God the Father and Jesus Christ. The LDS Church helps even other faiths in times of need. They did so by helping others faiths rebuilding their houses of worship after WWII. When there are catastrophes The LDS church helps even non Christians.
The DLS church focus only on the good in others, such qualities are Christ-like. The answer remains on what Jesus said: “By their fruits who shall know them.” Unfortunately, the media many times focus on output rather than quality. That is why the media is still in the “box”.
