But it wasn't - not in the least.
The Founding Fathers were well versed in *all* world religions - and they founded a country that purposely elevated not a single one of them to prominence.
They knew that secular rule was universal - full stop.
You're glib, Andy.

@carsenlcooper @constans It's not an inaccurate take, though, if you look at how the picture is framed.
English
@constans The parking lot on the right is nearly full and this may be the worst take in the whole thread.
English
On the left is a park in SLC—Utah’s most progressive city. On the right is a park in die hard conservative Lehi.
This is why I want retard Democrats to go away.

Utah if the state GOP had primaries instead of being constantly subject to the whims of ~4000 activist crank delegates
English
@carsenlcooper @Jezay37 First of all: way to broad brush and stereotype people in a picture. Sad to see your U of U education hasn't helped your world view.
Second: who's to say there aren't addicts in Lehi parks - or in the libraries, stores, and schools.
Myopic world views are a curse, man.
English
@Jezay37 Okay, now show me a Lehi park filled with drug addicts.
English
@carsenlcooper Also: ableist language isn't going to get you far in life, man.
Perhaps you should spend some time outside the Land of Zion. See the world. Open your eyes.
Try engaging with people from other towns, cities, states, and countries like you do here, and it will *not* go well.
English
@carsenlcooper Funny that I see more people using a park in the urban core than in a suburban enclave.
At least the SLC park has life in it - more than just a non-native, water-hungry, resource-wasting lawn with zero shade.

Lots of divisive assertions here.
Many Latter-day Saints are Democrat.
Many (most) non-religious people are moral.
Many non-LDS people believe in God.
Many Democrats value God, freedom, and faith.
Most people are good, regardless of political or religious affiliation.

@big_pedestrian Invest in the good infrastructure:
- Safe, well-maintained sidewalks.
- Safe, reliable, connected transit networks.
- Safe, well-designed, connected, protected bicycle/micro-mobility infrastructure.
And divest of the bad:
- Parking minimums.
- Ample parking in the urban core.
English
@big_pedestrian Riding a bicycle in rain or snow is also not much of a hardship in most parts of the world. The snowflake tendencies here in the U.S. are, well, awkward.
Walking should be second-nature as a way to get around - and the whole country suffers in many ways because it isn't.
English
The bicycle is the most efficient—for both cost and motion—vehicle ever invented.
However, the correct urban hierarchy for access, prosperity, health safety and life:
- pedestrian/wheelchair
- transit
- bicycles (and micromobility*)
- golf carts*/scooters*
- cars*
* 20 MPH max

Elect a mayor who talks about bicycles. Cities designed for the bicycle tend to serve everyone: the rich and the poor, the young and the old. In transport policy, the bicycle is perhaps the most democratic instrument ever invented🚲

@VoteTrevorLee @mormons_speak The values you espouse, Trevor, are not those of the party of Abraham Lincoln. Rather, they are the views of an increasingly intolerant and myopic world view that seems to ignore the world, as a whole.
Practice the faith you want to, but don't inflict your interpretation on all.
English
@VoteTrevorLee @mormons_speak As far as I can see, Salt Lake County is more vibrant, prosperous, safe, diverse, and strong thanks to a new diversity of cultures, faiths, and viewpoints.
Conservative values - at least the warped ones based on theocracy - only serve to drag Utah down. 2/

In Salt Lake County, many wards and stakes are closing. This graphic shows the decline in members, which is requiring many wards and stakes to be closed or merged with neighboring ones.

@Aden_Yacobi It's the inside that counts, right? A library that's stunning on the outside can be functionless on the inside (see: original MLK Library, pre-refit).
The original West End Library wasn't pretty, inside or out.
And the current Chevy Chase Library/Community Center? Dated & meh.
English
@randomduck West End Library is objectively ugly on the outside so I see why he’s using that as an excuse. But it was still a good project and all the renderings of the Chevy Chase Library show it will look much much better.
English
I think Rosenheck is missing the forest for the trees here.
The cited example of the West End Library is an example of an EXTREMELY successful melding of public resource and private residences. Same thing for the nearby Fire/EMS station on M Street.
This is simply #NIMBY fear.

If you want to reinstate the draft, the first one drafted should be Barron Trump - and with zero deferrals. It's only fair, given his dad started this whole needless mess we're now in.
And Rob Schneider can be draftee number two, given his chickenhawk enthusiasm.

And the smart people will take Metro, bike, or walk to see the blossoms. Leave the low-occupancy vehicle access to those with registered accessibility needs (and no, having a big family in a minivan or a bling car doesn't count as exceptional).
I'd have ticketed & towed 'em all.
Dave Statter@STATter911
How not to get ticketed or towed, cherry blossom edition: The people parked this morning on the approach to the 14th Street Bridge got away with it, despite partially blocking a lane (still pictures 🔽🔽). But then @DCPoliceDept moved in (see video 🔽🔽). At least, unlike in previous years, there wasn't a line of cars taking the right lane on the bridge, which is part of an interstate highway. Progress. @ARLnowDOTcom @matthewyoung31 @PoPville @dclinenews @CordellTraffic @NFTC_News @tomroussey7news @DCNewsNow @tomsherwood #cherryblossoms #traffic #parking #tidalbasin

As Salt Lake County’s culture shifts away from the restored gospel and becomes more godless and secular, it’s also becoming more Democrat.
The same pattern John Adams warned about: “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”
When faith fades, conservative values built on God, family, and freedom erode with it. Utah’s foundation is under attack. Time to stand firm, Utah is worth fighting for!

Morality is not the exclusive domain of the pious, Trevor.
Believe what you want in terms of gods or goddesses, but morality based on religious writ is often far from equitable or kind.
Secular morality has proven more robust, fair, and just. Utah is finally learning this.

@jeremiah4dc Rosenheck is simply demeaning and degrading what will probably be a far more spectacular and useful DCPL facility than what's currently there.
This is Bill Rice amplifying upper Ward 3 NIMBY fears - he loves boosting their messaging, per my decades of experience with his work.
