Mitt's father, George, ran for president in 1964. The fact that he had been born in Mexico or that he was a Mormon was never questioned. A lot has changed between 1964 and 2012.
With Mitt, his religion was attacked in the 2008 primaries to the point that he dropped out of the race. In 2012, first his opponents for the republican nomination, then pastors at their rallies, went after him because of his religion. And you had all those Conservative Christian Rights voters both in the Bible Belt and the South who refused to vote for him because of his religion.
Even now, that he is the official Republican candidate, you still have some who are not going to vote for him because of his religion. And that is the Right that doing it, the left won't vote for him because he's Republican, not that he's LDS..
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
