Mitt Romney was warmly welcomed in Lynchburg, Virginia, this morning for an important address for him — and religious liberty in America — at Liberty University’s commencement. Romney, a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, spoke effectively about religious freedom, eternal purpose, marriage (received by cheers and a standing ovation), Rick Santorum, and alluded to China’s one-child policy before the estimated 35,000 in attendance at what Liberty describes as “the largest private non-profit university in the nation, the largest university in Virginia, and the largest Christian university in the world.”

Can they really support a heretic for president?”

Wow.

First, one of the only programs that requires this course is the Master of Arts in Global Apologetics (as in “to speak in defense of”). Read More http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Journalism/2012/05/12/BuzzFeed-Politics-Distorts-Facts-Liberty-University

And there is something about this that surprises you?

 

As you may know I am not the upper midwest president of the I Love Mitt Club...But these (insert expletive here) are really starting to tick me off.

 

They can't say those things about our candidate! Only we can.
