Elder Maxwell Comments On Proposition 8… 30 Years Ago
November 12, 2008 by Scott in Political, Religious
I read a blog post today at TempleStudy.com that highlights a talk by Elder Neal A. Maxwell which he gave at a BYU devotional on October 10, 1978, entitled “Meeting the Challenges of Today.” Some of the things he said are especially relevant “today,” particularly in the midst of all the turmoil over Proposition 8. Here is some of his talk with the most prophetic parts in bold:
An Obama Nation, An Abomination?

Last week 52% of Americans voted for the “change” promised by Barack Obama. Despite many arguments against his radical agenda, the majority has spoken, albeit a slim 6% majority. Hardly a landslide win.
A Witness and a Warning - Ezra Taft Benson
November 3, 2008 by Scott in Political, Religious
I read some additional information related to Ezra Taft Benson’s speech that I wrote about a few days ago that I want to share. Thanks to Rob Watson at “American Testament: The Book of Mormon” for sharing this talk and info on that blog.
My previous post is “A Prophet of God Warning Us About Socialism.” What does this have to do with the Book of Mormon? Just about everything.
A Prophet of God Warning Us About Socialism
October 29, 2008 by Scott in Political, Religious
This talk was given by Ezra Taft Benson in 1977. Then a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles then later becoming Prophet of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, he warns us of socialism sneaking into our government. He warns about redistribution of wealth and socializing health care. He warns that “they pull down what is above and they never raise what is below.” “You are not here to be a parasite or a freeloader. The price you pay for something for nothing may be more than you can afford.” It is broken up into two parts. Read the rest of this entry »
Vote Against a Liberal, Democrat Controlled Government
October 27, 2008 by Scott in Political
In my previous post I focused on an important issue that has been on my mind during the past few months. I’d like to now focus this post on the Presidential and other elections which also have monopolized much of my thoughts lately.
In one week “We the People” of the United States of America will have another opportunity to vote for those leaders who will guide our country for the next several years. We have been bombarded with advertisements, news stories, phone calls, emails, online discussions, etc., and many Americans are sick of it and have just decided to stop tuning in and listening. Many Americans know that what they watch on their evening news is a load of crap; a biased, liberalistic reporting of the day’s news. There are, though, still a few sources that provide the other side of the story, however, the problem is most American’s don’t tune in to those sources. This presents the problem that the majority of our neighbors, friends and family are less informed about what we have at risk this election year.
What’s at Risk?
What we are facing this November 4th is the likelihood that our Senate and House of Representatives will be controlled by the Democrats and our President will be Barrack Obama, the most liberal Democratic Senator ever to be elected to that office. With the executive and legislative branches of government being run by these liberal Democrats and several seats in the judicial branch being vacated in the near future that will be filled with judges who Obama will appoint, the government will have total control to pass any and all laws that they want. Do you agree with their stances on abortion? On taxes? On cutting military spending by 25%? On creating a government-run health care system? On increasing spending even more than the government is spending by taxing “rich” people? There needs to be “checks and balances” in place to stop this from happening.
I Support Proposition 8
October 24, 2008 by Scott in Family, Friends & Neighbors, Political, Religious
I never thought of myself as a political person before. I read about the candidates and the issues of each election, but I never actively voiced my thoughts and feelings about them. This year has been very different. There are several issues on the ballots this year that I really feel strongly about that have made me become more politically minded and opinionated. These issues will effect me, my family and my religion directly. I’d like to address one of those issues in this post. Proposition 8 in California.
McCain and Obama, the Comedians
October 17, 2008 by Scott in Humor, Political
It is refreshing to see that the Presidential Candidates are able to be humorous with one another. If this was a debate, McCain wins hands down.
