makeshift pulpit

Ok, so for real, I sent this email to Rush Limbaugh.  Laugh at me if you must.   But I know only like three people actually read this, and those three people already love me, so here it is :

I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (AKA Mormon.)  I was reading your transcript from today, about fighting for conservatism, and I couldn’t agree more.  It got me thinking about a very similar story.  Have you ever read the Book of Mormon?  If not, let me tell you one of the stories.  You are going to LOVE IT!  There are two groups of people, warring societies if you will, called the Nephites and Lamanites.  The Nephites are the good guys, and they have a system of judges with a chief judge for their judicial system, and more or less live in a democracy.  Well, there is a man among the good guys who wants to be king, so he starts using flattering words, promising power and positions to those who lie, steal, murder for him, etc, in order to place himself on the throne.  He creates a secret society, and they call themselves the Kingmen.  Now, this might not be the worst thing ever, but right at that point in time the Lamanites are headed toward the Nephites with their armies.  The Kingmen refuse to take up arms, even as the Lamanites begin attacking.  They see this as an opportunity to further their agenda.  Well, the leader of the Nephite army is Captain Moroni.  He is a very cool dude.  He sees the way these Kingmen are acting, and is just sick about it.  He knows he has to do something about it, so he takes a piece of his clothing, makes it into kind of a flag, and writes on it, “In memory of our God, our religion, and freedom, and our peace, our wives, and our children.” He fastens it upon the end of a pole, for all of his people to see, and calls it the Title of Liberty.  Then he takes this from town to town and gathers all those who feel as he does and they get together and take down the Kingmen.  He reminds the Kingmen of what they believe and even gives them an ultimatum that they can stand with him and fight against the Lamanites, in defense of all those things they hold to be true, or they can be put to death on the spot.  Many of them choose death, and Captain Moroni quickly complies.

Doesn’t the leader of the Kingmen sound like Obama?  Doesn’t he sound like he wants to be king and that he is setting up those who lied, cheated, and stole for him in powerful positions?.  Not only that, but he’s willing to weaken our military in a time when we’re not very popular in the world.  It just seems like his goal is to take away our freedom.  And what can we do?  We can’t do what Captain Moroni did and put him and his followers to death for treason, but people like you can remind us of what our country is about.  That we don’t go looking for a fight, but that we will protect ourselves and our God-given rights.  As I wrote this I thought of so many different stories in the Book of Mormon that are relevant to our situation now.  Oh, you should read it, or at least have a Mormon tell you about the stories.  You would love Moroni and King Benjamin.  Anyway, I thought you should know that there are millions of people out here who recognize the similarities in the story and see Obama and his secret society for what it really is.  Please hang our Conservative Title of Liberty somewhere for all to see.
