Utah Politicians. How do these guys get elected?

Post by _SatanWasSetUp »

What district is this nut from? Is District 65 anywhere near Salt Lake, or is it one of those wacky small communities?

"According to The Salt Lake Tribune, Utah County District 65 Chairman Don Larsen has submitted a formal resolution to oppose the devil’s plan to destroy the country -- to be discussed this weekend at the Utah County Republican Convention.

“In order for Satan to establish his ‘New World Order’ and destroy the freedom of all people as predicted in the scriptures, he must first destroy the U.S.,” Larsen’s resolution states. “[It is] insidious for its stealth and innocuousness.”"

Sounds like the South, where the devil is blamed for all manner of mischeif, in GA, according to Charlie Daniels.

Utah Republican Blames 'The Devil' For Immigration
(KUTV / The Salt Lake Tribune) PROVO -

Forget al Qaeda. If you really want to blame someone for trying to destroy the United States, point the finger at… Satan?

The devil, Lucifer… whatever you want to call it, one Utah Republican says it is he who is trying to bring the USA down.

And Satan’s apparent weapon of choice: Allowing illegal immigrants to cross the border.

According to The Salt Lake Tribune, Utah County District 65 Chairman Don Larsen has submitted a formal resolution to oppose the devil’s plan to destroy the country -- to be discussed this weekend at the Utah County Republican Convention.

“In order for Satan to establish his ‘New World Order’ and destroy the freedom of all people as predicted in the scriptures, he must first destroy the U.S.,” Larsen’s resolution states. “[It is] insidious for its stealth and innocuousness.”

Larsen’s proposal to defeat Satan? Close the borders to illegal immigrants to “prevent the destruction of the U.S. by stealth invasion.”


Utah County is where BYU is located. This article is quite illustrative of the conservative thinking in Utah. Just don't get them started on fluoride and the right to bear thermo-nuclear devices.

I always assumed they just sacrificed family pets to Cthulu to get elected.
