If he hadn't given his "I'm a Mormon and atheists can suck it" speech, he could just say he's respecting the separation of church and state. But even if he can't in good faith say it, maybe he'll do it anyway?

respecting sep of church/state: not allowing the christian ten commandments in court rooms, not claiming a US war is justified by any Gawd-Whisperings, not forcing children in state-run schools to chant any propaganda praising any particular deity, not requiring those running for office to eschew muslims, not praising any particular religion's deity on state-stamped money, etc.

mitt-o-crisy: hardlining stances that logically, if taken back in time and applied to your own origins, would eradicate your own faith, kind, and self. applying actions that spring from beliefs that are antithetical to your proudly-championed faith.

a variant of this might be loving and implementing executions and torture while claiming your favorite philosopher is the Prince of Peace (who was tortured and executed).

Many of my friends are Mormon and are very very nice people despite their bizarro Angel Moroni tenets. But Mitt is not my pal, ni mi amigo. Lo siento, payaso. I really don't think he will win any primaries but I do feel he is not making the most of what God gave him. With that crazy hair he has he should start yet another successful enterprise: Mitt's Mormon Model Hair For Manly Men. The ads: "Now you too can have a luxurious shiny black rug just like mine. You too can rub in the bear grease every morning, rake that shag back and have it stand in neat rows all day. Yes, you too can have Presidential Hair, just like me, the President of Mormon Model Hair. And for a limited time only, with every installation, you get a free gallon of bear grease, Hecho en Mexico."
I admit it. I wish I had hair as splendid as Mitt's. It is phenomenal, almost Aztec in quality.
One other thing for those who may not be aware of it: almost all of the archeology in the Yucatan was done by Mormons. There are a lot of really admirable Mormons out there. It is a shame that the man of two faces, Mitt, is the Mormon on stage at the moment.

I always wonder how Mitt justifies being an "anchor baby". His father, George Romney was born in Chihuahua in 1908, and a lot of Mitt's cousins are Mexicans..

Being a dumb-white boy, I'll be the first to admit that I don't know an awful lot about Mexican culture or the Morman faith.

I do know this though. Anytime that we condemn others to a lower standing than ourselves. We condemn ourselves to a lower standing among others. I would much rather be accepting of others, so that my children may be accepted by others. Than to spread hate and have my children hated.

There's more than enough hate in this world. We'd all be better off if all these hate-mongering people would open their hearts to doing the work of the peace-monger.

You've helped bring another to the forefront.

Much thanks.

peacemongers always welcome here!

and just so ya know, we all need some education in one area or another. i don't see my "white" friends here as "dumb" or anything just for being "white." i know its the first time on my blog...please dont take the tagline atop the page personally. its mostly me having fun. :)

RC, hilarious....hair almost aztec in nature...

speaking of Modern Malinches

Oh no, I think I have to create a new digital image about Mitt Romney's newfound Mexican roots.

What's ironic is that my dad lives in Hawaii and also turned to Mormonism because he lives in the North Shore. If that means anything to anyone, BYU Hawaii is on the North Shore of Oahu. By BYU, I mean, Brigham Young University. By Brigham I mean super mormon. No coca cola is served, no coffee, nothing more than G rated movies at the only theatre in the North Shore.

The North Shore of Oahu, Hawaii is known for its international Surf Competitions and lack of tank tops at the local University.

Yes BYU Hawaii prohibits tank tops on women or men.

If Mitt Romney goes to the white house, does this mean we're welcome to have Shrimp Tacos Baja Style but you can't wear the Baja gear?

I grew up in Las Vegas and Oahu. About 30 percent of my extended family have converted to the LDS. While they're a bit to conservative for me, Mormons are usually hard working family oriented people. They also do a lot for the community. I like them. They have some pretty weird beliefs, but who doesn't?

damn chicana feliz. i had something to say, i think. but your analysis of ms alba sort of destroyed my fragile mindset.

and i never really meant for this post to be a reflection of mormonism or even a critique of it, or of mormons! i dont know any, and i dont know much about them. except that it was mormons bringing back mota from méxico that had a little to do with anslinger's push in the USA to make it illegal. (aside from racism, as well as Dupont's rope profits.) too many mormon missionaries were showing up prendido!

I mean that about the hair. I had a very close friend who was really part of my family for many years. Henry had that Indio hair and he was a Mexican and Guatemalan first generation US Citizen who was raised completely in Queens NYC.
As a teen he moved to PR {early 1960s} but he never learned any Spanish. I, on the other hand am very Anglo looking even though I am part Portuguese. When people would come up to us in public in PR and start to ask Henry {his Indio self} questions in Spanish and I would do all the answering, they then wanted to know what was his problem? Was he mute? It was hard for people to understand that even though Henry had the hair he didn't speak the language, neither Aztec nor Spanish.
But his face and hair were pure Indio, or as it is now popular to say in PC circles, Indiginous. We still say Indio here.

I'm sorry Nezua, I'm missing the point. maybe you should email me.
sorry, what were u gonna say?
I know, I read somewhere that Mitt Romney is the New Jessica Alba. Claiming they are Mexican only when it proves convenient.

oh, no big point. just a predictable joke—that she's hella sexy. and yeah, last i read, she was denying it pretty intensely. glad to be "done with" being mexican. i feel bad for her. i understand how USA culture and MSM can make you feel about being of the Land O' Devils.

mitt, well. i have no empathy with nor sympathy for him at the moment.

Que padrisima imagen subio Chicana Felíz.
Dicen que la copia es la mejor forma de halago, así que Chicana Felíz, cuando me haga falta mostrar orgullosamente mi mexicaneidad, pondre una foto mia en el recuadro de la cara.

ah, "la copia es la mejor forma de halago" es una muy mejor manera decir "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery"! me gusta tu truco de la foto! nunca he pensado de este. pero cuando yo leí el poema "Yo Soy Joaquín," me imaginaba a mí mismo como un príncipe Aztec!

Ya eres príncipe Azteca. Tienes muchísimos lectores, seguidores y premios. :)
El nombre de la página se me hace genial, con humor, con picardia. Me divierten mis roles por aquí.

Aún no juego con el Phothoshop y la imagen esa que subio Chicana Felíz. :)
Y como no he leido ese poema de "Yo soy Joaquín", pues ya tengo algo nuevo que hacer.
Saludos desde Monterrey

ah, tu eres amable. gracias mil para tus comenatarios. y por favor, perdóname, mi español no es muy bien, yo se. :)

"yo soy joaquín" es por "corky" gonzales, un famoso chicano (mexican american) poeta. yo no se si el poema es en el español, también...pero tengo el versión inglés aqui.

"Yo Soy Joaquín" es un libro...tenía este libro cuando era más joven. el libro es de ser mexican@, de mexicano sangre, pero nacido en américa y que viven en la cultura americana. Más ricos con dolares...pero más pobres, ya que son arrancadas de sus raíces.
