Why Romney really lost

I am tired of hearing from the media outlets that only rich, old, white, men voted for Romney. I am a 40-year-old middle-class housewife and I voted for Romney. Obama was re-elected because he gave people what they wanted. Free comes with a price. You can’t just tax the rich and fix the deficit.

Some movies never make it to 'Top if Utah'

I stayed quiet when Fireproof was not shown in Top of Utah theaters, but I won't stay quiet anymore. Why is the movie Courageous not being shown here. I have to go to South Jordan to see this movie. I happen to think the movie and message is relevant to everyone. Is it because it isn't a huge blockbuster? is it because it is produced by a Southern Baptist Church? I just don't get it. we submit many letters to the editor over a Billboard I think I have maybe seen once and honestly it didn't really bother me. I don't plan on shopping there. I honestly don't think my teenage boys noticed and if they did they didn't make one noise to me.

(UNEDITED)Bullying is a major problem with teenagers. There is no excuse for any child for any reason to be harrassed or bullied. That being said the LGBT community needs to show some respect. There are many people from many faiths who absolutely agree with God and what his word has to say on the subject. Just because you rant and protest does not mean we are going to agree with you.
