I thought it was a play on Moors, but that's cool too.

David Horowitz's article from FrontPage Magazine 1997.

New Left issssss?

It always intrigued me that Robert Spencer's patron (David Horowitz) went from a New Leftist/ Marxist to a conservative highly interested in Jihadists.

Just a curiosity

Spencer and Horowitz IMO are like the Paul Revere's of their time.

LOL...

Actually some do refer to 'serial monogamy' as 'serial polygamy'. Multiple wives, just not all at once. It's like spending each night with a different wife from the harem rather than just sleeping with the whole harem.

Hah! That went right over my head.

Btw, I have a friend who is Mormon, and I asked her what the story was on Mormons and Polygamy. It wasn't at all what I expected to hear, and in fact, Mormons are generally some very forward-thinking people in some respects, if my friend is typical.

If only that's how politics worked. "Live and learn" as a motto would dismantle many of the constants within the American system. Because, apparently, there's some things people can't "live and learn" from. They must face immediate punishment for their dynamic actions.

That describes about half our adult population nowadays.

From South Park's "All About The Mormons."

Quote:

Gary: Look, maybe us Mormons do believe in crazy stories that make absolutely no sense, and maybe Joseph Smith did make it all up, but I have a great life. and a great family, and I have the Book of Mormon to thank for that.

The truth is, I don't care if Joseph Smith made it all up, because what the church teaches now is loving your family, being nice and helping people. And even though people in this town might think that's stupid, I still choose to believe in it.

All I ever did was try to be your friend, Stan, but you're so high and mighty you couldn't look past my religion and just be my friend back. You've got a lot of growing up to do, buddy. Suck my balls. [turns around and walks off. All four boys just look at him in wonder, even Cartman.]

Cartman: Damn, that kid is cool, huh?

Script from "All About the Mormons?" - Season 7 - Episode 712 - All About the Mormons? - South Park Stuff.com

Sorry for the derail.

That was the absolute worst comparison I've ever heard.
