Mormons join landmark push

The Mormons announced, after talks this week with descendants of the victims at Carrollton, Ark., that they'll join their push for a national historic landmark at the site of the Mountain Meadows Massacre, the Utah Territory site where some 120 men, women and children moving West from Arkansas were slaughtered by church members and Indians in 1857.

This entire episode should be a lesson for all war-mongering Arkies. This event happened over 150 years ago and the victims families have not forgotten. There are several thousands if not millions who still carry grudges about our civil war.

What do you think the people of Iraq are gonna feel-think about the USA in 50 years, 100 years, 150 years?

How nice, Mormons.

Now we like, totally, respect every bigoted thing you stand for.

Hang with me while I extract my Holy Underwear from the dryer.

I SO confused.
