Romnesia? It's in the Dictionary

[maddog42]

I paraphrased from the Urban Dictionary

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Romnesia

1 The act of forgetting a statement or belief when you had previously expressed the opposite point of view.

2 The ability of the very wealthy to forget the context in which they made
or inherited their money.

3 A mental disorder which allows you to say absolutely anything to win an election. Even if you don't believe it or have said the opposite in the past.

4 The ability to pull a lie from the deepest recesses of one's ass in order to completely contradict your earlier recorded statements.

5 A condition where one continually and repeatedly changes up, back tracks
or sidesteps his or hers own previous stated position.

6 A condition which afflicts GOP members and supporters exemplified by contradicting statements and a perma-grin.

7
(a) To flip flop.
(b) to black out

[Hoofhearted]

Heh heh,
How true !
Thanks for bringing this to universal attention.

I would also have added another aspect to Romnesia -- a condition enabling one to forget in public that one espouses such insane beliefs as "The White Horse Prophesy" and the "End Of The Age" viewpoint as is endorsed by his crazed-cult Mormon Church.

[Tom]

Crazed out church?
What do you call the one Obama sat in for 20 years? :rolleyes:
Never met a Mormon who wasn't a salt of the earth person.
And I've met thousands of them.

Agree Tom, while not a fan of the Morman beliefs, the Morman people are top-notch. Very friendly, amazing family units, hard-working and successful business owners..and living in Vegas you meet thousands of them.

Simple things amuse simple minds.

I wonder if maddog could answer:

"If electricity comes from electrons, does morality come from morons?"

[bigmack]

insane beliefs as "The White Horse Prophesy" and the "End Of The Age" viewpoint as is endorsed by his crazed-cult Mormon Church.
This coming from you, the hypersensitive dweeb who yapped about unrest in the MiddleEast due an 'insensitive" video. No wait, it had NOTHING to do with a video. Wow, what colossal hypocrite you are.

maddog, remains in his 60's with a mind like a prepubescent. How'd ya like to hang with him for over 5 minutes? :eek:

Are you implying some of them gamble? I am shocked!!

Seriously, every Mormon I ever met seemed like a fine person. However I have never met a Mormon worth $250-400 million.

[Greyfox]

However I have never met a Mormon worth $250-400 million.

And of course you've met a lot of other people of other faiths who are worth that much. :lol:

"And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God."

I think there is some truth in that. I also note that the Bible doesn't say it won't happen, just nearly impossible.

Have you ever made that same observation about all the wealthy Jews in the world?

And what is it to you whether Romney makes it into the Kingdom of God or not? Why would his spiritual condition concern you? What personal stake do you have in someone else's spiritual state and the divine judgement that person will face?

And your interpretation of the passage is wrong. If you had bothered to try to understand the passage in its context, you would have read further down to verse 24 in Matthew 19, and you would have discovered that it is impossible with men!

This is what King James and his merry band of translators decided was correct
about 500 years ago.

Been wrong a long time, then.

Thanks for proving my point. So you are saying Romney is going straight to hell. I kinda figured that. I would like to know the exact amount of money I can attain and still get into heaven. Whatever amount you come up with Boxcar, I'm staying under that.

[johnhannibalsmith]

Do people actually find this "Romnesia" line funny? Or is it just humor out of convenience? It's not that I disagree with what Obama's point is, but I don't understand people falling over themselves to repeat it and pretend like it is comedy gold. Romnesia, horse and bayonets, binders... damn we are simpletons.

Not implying anything, just Vegas has a lot of Mormons living here. Im sure some gamble, just like I as a Christian still sins. Cant say i have met one worth as much as you write, but i never ask what anyone is worth..and how much someone is worth makes no difference to me. Seems like it has become a crime to be a success and worth a lot of money, especially if you ask the "poor". The difference between rich and poor...poor people look to the past while rich people are always looking to the future.

He wasn't at Hill Cumorah the last few years.

I'm not going to lie I thought "Romneyhood" from back in the summer was hilarious.

"Romnesia" though I think is trying too hard and simply the last gasps of a dying campaign.

What was funny in the summer isn't as funny 7 days out.

[Hoofhearted]

Crazed out church?
Never met a Mormon who wasn't a salt of the earth person.

I've never met one of them that I could honestly describe as a "normal human being".
Each one was anti-alcohol, anti-tobacco, anti-gambling; even anti-coffee and anti-tea. They're worse than the f***ing Taliban.
To a man, each one of them was too squeaky clean for normality. But it gets worse, they are through indocrination of their church an archly conservative bunch. Dig a little deeper in conversation with any of them, and you will realise that they are also anti-Gay and variously anti-Black. Truly a nasty little lot.

Now, if the decent people of the USA want to vote a billionaire tax-avoiding member of this church as President, then, that is their prerogative; but I hope those same decent people realise the inevitable consequences of doing so. The rest of the world waits in trepidation.

[Greyfox]

.

Yeah sure. They probably behead infidels too. :rolleyes:

[JustRalph]

Have you met Warren Jeffs?

Yeah, like Romney and Jeffs have anything in common.

You have never met a Mormon with a100 million? How about one that's given 30% of that to charity?

What a piece of work YOU are. Just a few weeks ago you were REVOLTED by a video supposedly offensive to another religion and here you are with PALPABLE HATRED for another religion.

Gawd, I love it. Seethe in your hatred. :lol:

...

Aren't you the same sensitive, ponderous humanist that was carrying on and on with implications that saying anything bad about muslims was "hate speech" and then you post his utter and complete lunacy?

I think the most truthful part of this diatribe ended after the sixth word of the opening salvo.

[Dahoss9698]

Interesting as always who you guys decide to go after.

Fair and balanced. :lol:

[Hoofhearted]

Johnhannibalsmith, I struggle to find anything much hateful in my post. It was an honest statement of facts as pertaining to the Mormon church and the members of that church.
However, on reflection I will readily admit that the phrase " a nasty little lot" was injudicious and ill-chosen. I happily and apologetically withdraw the remark and would like to replace it with " a too clean-for-comfort and too conservative little lot".


are you familiar with Mia Love?

Never heard of her, so I googled the lady.
And yet I fail to see the point you are trying to make.
Yes, she's a member of the LDS church .............. one of the small 5% of Blacks who are Mormons. And the vast majority of that 5% are outside the USA -- in Brazil, East Africa etc where the church has been extensively proselytizing.
It would also appear that Mia Love was converted to the church by her future husband who she was dating at the time. Indeed, love can make many a person do something that they would not normally do. It would seem possible that love persuaded Love to become a Mormon. :D

A further internet search tells me the following about the Mormon church's historical attitude towards Blacks:
"From 1852 to 1978, the LDS Church had a policy against ordaining men of African descent to the priesthood.[72] The church had previously been criticized for its policy during the civil rights movement, but the change came in 1978 and was prompted primarily by problems facing mixed race converts in Brazil".

...You talk of "Freedom Of Speech" -- with that Freedom also comes responsibility about how you use it. Freedom of Speech becomes a sharp weapon when you use F.o.S. to incite hate, cast insults or offend other people's sensitivities. Making a film with the sole purpose of mocking an entire religion is borderline criminal, in-my-opinion....

...just as the equivalent anti-Muslim stuff is equally offensive to Muslims. In my perfect world there would be no room for any of this rubbish. All of this stuff only serves to create divisions between peoples and creeds. ...

This really shouldn't be too hard to compute DaHoss. I have no use for religion. Me personally. I don't rail against the religions of others or harbor any resentment because of which God people pray to because they pretty much are equally irrelevant to me. I just assume that people get out of them what they need and hope that it helps them in life.

You think that simply because this guy posted something extremely harsh about an entire group of people because of their religion that I chose to pipe up because it happens to be Mitt Romney's religion? Really?

Two things here - I don't see how you can talk about besmirching an entire group of people in one context and then turn around and do it to another group in an almost identical fashion and not expect to catch some grief. If he had never made those previous comments, and the part that I objected to at the time, done so as a case for restriction on expression, I would only be bringing you my second objection.

That objection being - I don't know which Mormons this guy knows, if any. I'm guessing that these opinions must be based upon those that come to the door once a year. I know many, many, many Mormons - never met one until I moved west - now I know plenty of them his characterizations are such a shoddy stereotype that it makes him look as ignorant as any perpetuator of stereotypes that he would ordinarily be yelping about.

But, I'm sure that's just too obvious a reason to object, it would have to be about Mitt Romney or Barack Obama, neither one of which I could give a flying intercourse about.

Keep looking. See if you can find anything about Muslim views/treatment of women & children. THEN, see if you can find Mormons shooting children in the head.

That's a lot of fear you're showing with that rant. Join a gym. Lift some weights. Feel better about yourself.

Then drink some alcohol, have a smoke, bet on the #5 horse and drink some tea. You'll realize this stuff you posted was rubbish and life will be good once again.....

I'm not a slow adult, so I'm not really sure what you are saying here. It helps if you organize your thoughts.

What I said was it is interesting to me who you guys (and I use the term guys loosely as a lot of you are obviously menopausal) decide to go after. In other words, I'm saying you are very inconsistent with who you decide to take to task for what they say.

We both know you can't refute it, so just cry that I'm stalking you (even though you respond to me FAR more than I do you) and let's move on.

Politicians typically try to have a catchy phrase; a sound bite if you will, work its way into the public consciousness. This appears to be an attempt at that.

[Greyfox]

Is "Oh bummer" catchy?

[kingfin66]

No, but neither is Romnesia. The phrase I liked was when, during the GOP debates, Sarah Palin referred to Mitt and Newt collectively as Newt Romney.
