>>I think if anything, it is strengthens the underlying point, since the reasons for the Nephite civilization’s downfall were in contradiction of Captain Moroni’s precedent and example, not as a result of them.

Ah, yes. The old “I was in office at the time of the nation’s downfall, but the fault really lies with others” defense. A likely story. ;)

MarkinPNW: That was a really good quote in 143! I feel that way more often than I would like.

John C. (144) In theory I am a libertarian modified by Constitutionalism as described in D&C98 and 101, in practice more pragmatic but with a firm belief that Governments should only support the protection of life, liberty and property according to the principles espoused in the D&C and the Bill of Rights. In foreign relations, the vision of the founding fathers and the Clark Memorandum (Google it to find the source), and national defense and fighting terrorism in accordance with the teaching of Giddgidoni in 3 Nephi 3, instead of doing the opposite as the Bush and Obama regimes have been/are doing. (In regards to torture of non-American citizens, I believe in the D&C when it says that the Constitution, including the Bill of Rights, was given for All men!)

MarkinPNW,
So long as you are not shouting down congresspeople with wack job theories, I’m cool with you (although I’m deeply curious as to what you think government should do if it shouldn’t be involved in people’s lives).

I’m with Bob (136). I used to think that I could choose the lesser of two evils in the polling booth, but bitter experience has shown me that the “lesser” of evil is still evil, whether of the “right” or the “left”.

Remember, if you think the government should dictate how people should llive their lives inside the USA, you’re a liberal; if you think that the government should tell foreigners how to live their lives, you’re a conservative; if you think the government should do both, you’re a moderate; but if you think the government should’nt do either but only do the minimum to protect the lives, liberty and property of it’s citizens (some weird idea like free agency? and the Bill of Rights for liberty?), well then you must be on of those crazy nut-case idiots.

So long as we agree that you are an immoral bloggernacle type, we can all just move on.

Lak I said John C most of you moral bloggernacle types are pretty consistent. Not lak them dems who are walking back from their cussing of Dick Cheney. I trusted ol’ Dick not to go too far but ah was always a bit leary because I knowed that Dick warn’t goin’ to be around forever and that ol’ Rahm boy scares the tarnation out of me.

you gotta give it to aloyisus. He has no problem with Barack Obama ordering that aloyisius's children's private parts be crushed if Barack Obama deemed it the right thing to do. It's the president's prerogative.

am,
Comparing the moral value of your torturer to my torturer doesn’t sound like the sort of conversation that gets us anywhere near the good (ditto comparing the dems influential cussing politician to the republicans). I’m going to stick with torture is bad no matter what side of the political spectrum is represented.
