President Obama is once again legitimizing a fanatical religious bigot. This time, it the leader of the Mormon church/hate group. From UPI 7/20/09:
U.S. President Barack Obama will meet the head of the Mormon Church in the Oval Office Monday, the White House announced.
The announcement said Obama would meet Thomas Monson, the president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, along with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., in a private session.
Presidents of the United States of America should respect state/church separation and not meet with any religious leaders. However, giving a high profile meeting to the fanatical leader of a hateful, heterosexist cult based on plagiarized science fiction is even worse as it serves to help Monson pursue his agenda of promoting discrimination and violence.
This hurts my brain. Obama is meeting with the President/Prophet of the LDS church and it's closed to the press? How does he think this will look?!
Interesting link. It would appear that Joseph Smith Jr. was a frontier L. Ron Hubbard.
