Those Mutinous Mormons
What's up with the Latter Day Saints out in Utah?
For some reason the most unlikely people in the reddest state in the country have turned on BushCo in a very big way. Mormons were the biggest boosters in the run up to Deciderer's Babylonian catastrophe. As poll numbers tanked everywhere else, Codpiece has consistantly had the highest numbers in Utah, Idaho and Wyoming, the three states with the highest numbers of Mormons respectively.
So it comes as a pleasant surprise that as a group they have had a bigger turnaround in support for our march toward fascism than ,well, anybody.
"A January poll by The Salt Lake Tribune showed a precipitous drop in support for Bush's handling of the war among Utah's Latter-day Saints. In the survey, just 44 percent of those identifying themselves as Mormon said they backed Bush's war management. That's a level considerably higher than Bush gets from Utah's non-Mormon population and the nation at large, but it's also a 21 percentage point drop from just five months earlier. The poll's margin of error was plus or minus 4.7 percentage points."
So Says the Tribune. What could be fueling such discontent all of a sudden? I think the casualties are starting to be felt all across the heartland and quite literally the pain is starting to be felt by people who were formerly distanced from it. The same thing happened during Vietnam, that other grinding charnel house where a steady stream of pine boxes wore away at blind support for unjust warfare. With Mormons the erosion has also been sanctioned by church elders who have had the courage to speak out against atrocities.
Nobody in Utah is as outspoken about the DC criminal cartel and it's villainy than Salt Lake City Mayor Rocky Anderson. It's pretty amazing that this guy who got 72% of the vote in his last election would speak out like this:
"President Bush is a war criminal," Anderson, a Democrat, said at a rally in Salt Lake City on Monday marking the fourth anniversary of the war in Iraq. "Let impeachment be the first step toward national reconciliation — and toward penance for the outrages committed in our nation's name."
and:
"There's a dangerous culture of obedience throughout much of this country that's worse in Utah than anywhere."
Wow. We would be well served with more fire breathers like this guy.
Here he is throwing it down on the O'Really Factor:

Also, Brigham Young University is catching holy hell for inviting Dick Cheney to speak at it's graduation ceremonies next month. "Students, parents, alumni and faculty' are really putting the screws on the school for inviting him. A lot of people have said they won't show up if he shows up but the school doesn't seem to be backing down. Nevertheless, this sea change in attitude in the heart of religious conservatism is heaven sent.

The vid was painful to watch. All the more reason to ignore the mainstream.
