The Pelican’s Briefs

Not altogether long ago the Mormon mass of flesh moved across the face of North America like so many amphibians looking for a pond to dunk their heads in.
They found it in Salt Lake City where they raised up a powerful and inbred civilization in the middle of the desert.
Yes, the sons of those first Utah pioneers have attended decade after decade to the University known as Bring ‘em Young. Named after the founder of the Mormon Church – Bring ‘em Young, who, by using the opportunities of remote location and the Bible was able to forge a society of men that would take and marry girl children and turn them into mindless automatons capable of regurgitating at the snap of your fingers any message from the Bible that had been drilled into their soft little heads.
It was this forward thinking Mormon man who, upon being handed the tablets of behavior from the Angel Moroni promptly lost them along the way.
The long history of Mormon adherence to a few simple principles and a few simple minded children – has caused a virtual explosion in the desert.
The practicing of Bring ‘em Young haven’t been without dangers however. Autism and mental illness have dogged the Mormons ever since they got together in the first place – and it’s clearly not just because of all that sun as their neighbors are fond of saying.
No – it’s not.
Now that this nation is finally on track to moral and right living it is time to disband and disperse the corrupt and perverted church of the Mormon heathen. It is time to knock one stone from another in the Bring ‘em Young University and to arrest, jail and disperse all of the base and low individuals of the Mormon Church spread throughout Montana, Idaho, Colorado, Wyoming and Utah.
They threaten the very fabric of our nation with their perversions of faith and their sins before our God.
With this new birth in our nation let it not be aborted for the sake of money and cash and the ill will of cash rich men like the Mormons in the United States Chamber of Commerce. Let us burst the bonds of sin that they have shackled upon the earth and cease to allow brother to marry sister and father to marry daughter and son to marry aunt and mother. It is time to strike their sin from the face of the earth.
The Mormon Church is in the business of sin and all of its cash and property should be taxed. They owe back taxes for decades and should be made to pay for their sinful behavior and their free living.
It is time to set this nation right and the Mormon Church is going to be the best example to show the world that we mean business.
It has already been said that Karl Rove – from Utah – has begun the process to pull down the statue of the Native American Princess that adorns our nation’s capitol and replace it with the likeness of the Angel Moroni – the demon that Bring ‘em Young claims to have been visited by and given tablets of behavior from God.
Another - Governor Mitt Romney of Massachusettes, has quietly hidden his own beliefs. One thing the Mormons believe is that you can become a God on earth - keep that in mind as Romney continues his move toward the Presidency and advances to the White House.
We cannot allow them to continue to dirty our nation, our history and our laws.

So you are saying it is a Mormon conspiracy and not a Jewish one? Nice change of pace! I always expected it to be blamed on the Jews.

We can find conspiraces anywhere we want to look. I agree that LDS has some problems but you must first show that how as a non-profit that the church owes money to the goverment. Also just as the Catholic church has its on perverts that all churchs do have the same.

I would say Rove has some strange agendas but that came from associations with the early noe cons of the Republican party dating back all the way to the Nixon administration. Him and Romney are a big stretch on this...entertaining though, I will give you that.

This post is so strange in so many ways. Fist let me address the "native American princess" on the top of the capital dome. The statue is of Lady Liberty - not a native American.

Here is a short history of the statue.

The bronze Statue of Freedom by Thomas Crawford is the crowning feature of the dome of the United States Capitol. The statue is a classical female figure of Freedom wearing flowing draperies. Her right hand rests upon the hilt of a sheathed sword; her left holds a laurel wreath of victory and the shield of the United States with thirteen stripes. Her helmet is encircled by stars and features a crest composed of an eagle's head, feathers, and talons, a reference to the costume of Native Americans. A brooch inscribed "U.S." secures her fringed robes. She stands on a cast-iron globe encircled with the national motto, E Pluribus Unum. The lower part of the base is decorated with fasces and wreaths. Ten bronze points tipped with platinum are attached to her headdress, shoulders, and shield for protection from lightning. The bronze statue stands 19 feet 6 inches tall and weighs approximately 15,000 pounds. Her crest rises 288 feet above the east front plaza.

A monumental statue for the top of the national Capitol appeared in Architect Thomas U. Walter's original drawing for the new cast-iron dome, which was authorized in 1855. Walter's drawing showed the outline of a statue representing Liberty; Crawford proposed an allegorical figure of "Freedom triumphant in War and Peace." After Secretary of War Jefferson Davis objected to the sculptor's intention to include a liberty cap, the symbol of freed slaves, Crawford replaced it with a crested Roman helmet.

Crawford was commissioned to design the Statue of Freedom in 1855 and executed the plaster model for the statue in his studio in Rome. He died in 1857 before the model left his studio. The model, packed into six crates, was shipped from Italy in a small sailing vessel in the spring of 1858. During the voyage the ship began to leak and stopped in Gibraltar for repairs. After leaving Gibraltar, the ship began leaking again to the point that it could go no farther than Bermuda, where the model was stored until other transportation could be arranged. Half of the crates finally arrived in New York in December, but all sections were not in Washington until late March of 1859.

Beginning in 1860, the statue was cast in five main sections by Clark Mills, whose bronze foundry was located on the outskirts of Washington. Work was halted in 1861 because of the Civil War, but by the end of 1862 the statue was finished and temporarily displayed on the Capitol grounds. The cost of the statue, exclusive of installation, was $23,796.82. Late in 1863, construction of the dome was sufficiently advanced for the installation of the statue, which was hoisted in sections and assembled atop the cast-iron pedestal. The final section, the figure's head and shoulders, was raised on December 2, 1863, to a salute of 35 guns answered by the guns of the 12 forts around Washington.

The plaster model of the statue, which had been in storage for 25 years, was reassembled and restored in the basement rotunda of the Russell Senate Office Building, where it was returned to permanent public display in January 1993.

On May 9, 1993, after almost 130 years in place, the bronze statue was removed from its pedestal by helicopter for restoration. The work was needed because of extensive pitting and corrosion on the surface of the bronze and because of a crack and rusting on the cast-iron pedestal. The project was guided by the recommendations of a thorough conservation and engineering study conducted in 1991. The United States Capitol Preservation Commission provided $780,000 in privately raised funds, which covered all project costs.

The disfiguring caulk and much of the corrosion were removed by water blasted at medium pressure. Repairs to the statue included the insertion of over 700 bronze plugs in the most significant pits; bronze patches were also inserted where needed. Rusting original iron elements and the interior paint were removed. The bronze, which varied in composition and condition, was painstakingly repatinated to the "bronze green" noted in early records. Finally, layers of acrylic lacquer and wax were applied to protect the surface against further corrosion, and small gaps were sealed with caulk.

The cast-iron pedestal was restored in place atop the dome. The metal was stripped of paint, and the wreaths and fasces were removed to ensure that they were thoroughly cleaned and coated. The crack was permanently repaired, and the entire pedestal was primed and painted with a color specially mixed to match the statue.

Restoration of the statue and the pedestal was completed in approximately four months. The Statue of Freedom was returned to its pedestal by helicopter on October 23, 1993, amidst the congressional celebration of the bicentennial of the U.S. Capitol.

Freedom is scheduled to undergo maintenance every two years; this will include inspection, cleaning, and waxing to ensure continued preservation of the bronze. Photographs taken during the 2000 maintenance of the statue are available.

I am not sure where to begin with this peice of claptrap, but here goes.

Not altogether long ago the Mormon mass of flesh moved across the face of North America like so many amphibians looking for a pond to dunk their heads in.

Inflammatory.

They found it in Salt Lake City where they raised up a powerful and inbred civilization in the middle of the desert.

Any support for this smear of Mormans claiming that they are inbreeds?

<sniped a few paragraphs of dribble>

The practicing of Bring ‘em Young haven’t been without dangers however. Autism and mental illness have dogged the Mormons ever since they got together in the first place – and it’s clearly not just because of all that sun as their neighbors are fond of saying.

Care to support this? Or is mud flinging sufficient for you?

Now that this nation is finally on track to moral and right living it is time to disband and disperse the corrupt and perverted church of the Mormon heathen. It is time to knock one stone from another in the Bring ‘em Young University and to arrest, jail and disperse all of the base and low individuals of the Mormon Church spread throughout Montana, Idaho, Colorado, Wyoming and Utah.

Why are you attacking a church? You want to jail, arrest and disperse followers? What crimes have they committed? Specify please.

They threaten the very fabric of our nation with their perversions of faith and their sins before our God.

Please enlighten us as to how the Mormons are threatening the fabric of our nation and what perversions of faith and sins they committed before "our" God.

With this new birth in our nation let it not be aborted for the sake of money and cash and the ill will of cash rich men like the Mormons in the United States Chamber of Commerce.

That bed of hedonism - The US Chamber of Commerce? What?

Let us burst the bonds of sin that they have shackled upon the earth and cease to allow brother to marry sister and father to marry daughter and son to marry aunt and mother. It is time to strike their sin from the face of the earth.

The Mormon Church has outlawed polygamy. They never supported incestual marriage. Jeez!

The Mormon Church is in the business of sin and all of its cash and property should be taxed. They owe back taxes for decades and should be made to pay for their sinful behavior and their free living.

Taxation of a church will not happen. Maybe we should tax your church (assuming you belong to one) for propogandizing such garbage as this to its parishoners.

It has already been said that Karl Rove – from Utah – has begun the process to pull down the statue of the Native American Princess that adorns our nation’s capitol and replace it with the likeness of the Angel Moroni – the demon that Bring ‘em Young claims to have been visited by and given tablets of behavior from God.

I hate to let facts get in the way of your nonsense, but Karl Rove, or Norwegian descent) was born in Denver. Colorade and was raised in Colorado and Vevada until his family moved to Salt Lake City, Utah when he was 15. There he attended Olympus High School (a public - not parochial) school. Rove, by the way, is not a Mormon. He is Anglican/Episcopalian.


You say, "it has already been said "that Rove wants to pull down the statue from the Capital dome. Said by whom (other than yourself).
