MORMONS

Posted by: gfullmer at 2007-05-11

Just as most Mormons and US Citizens know little about the history of the African Slaves in the United States, most non-Mormons don't know the history of Mormons in the United States. Al could have been a lot more pejorative by giving Mitt a bad time about his holy under-ware, rather than the crack about not believing in God. Al, did you ever hear about the Utah war? The Mormons fled the US because of persecution both at the hands of so called "believers", and from the control of the United States Government to the Mexican territory. My great-great-grandfather was one of them. You can read more about him in my mother's novel:

Not only is it a good read, it gives some of the history that Al could have used to berate his competition with a little more knowledge and finesse! ;-)
