Notable LDS(Mormons) politically speaking

 Notable LDS(Mormons) including terms of interest.  Plus, a review of how Glenn Beck encouraged Love/Understanding/Uniting…. Romney, not so much.

Before discussing the political ramifications of faith and religion in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, read up on LDS.org and Mormon.org (including for the press).  You will see there is gravitas in the name, including JESUS CHRIST (and the capital ‘T’ on ‘The’.) There is a prophet for the whole world and a Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. Since they are interested in the whole world, they do not support specific candidates, and only rarely take on political issues. 

So even though NV Senator Reid seems to give some of us a bad name, the Church will not speak against this.  It is said that his brother beat him up, “When Larry Beat Harry” and his land deals are quite well known.  What we know is we love the enemy as we are all children of Heavenly Father (sometimes there needs to be Tough Love) and He gives us free agency. A main part of our time on Earth, before we return to Christ and Heavenly Father is to gain experience.  We live in trying times as a testing mortal period, “Ask and ye shall receive.”

We solicit your comments under the following position.  Lynnette liked Senator Ted Cruz (as does Dr Robert Sklaroff) and I do too.  He is an outsider working for change.  Further, I liked the message of Donald J. Trump and said to myself, “Anyone that speaks against his MESSAGE loses my respect and support.”  So when Mitt Romney said how bad Trump would be, I wanted to hear his reasons. To me, his reasoning was all wrong; same with Glenn Beck. He said world trade would suffer, but the fact is that we are already suffering bad deals and trade deficits. How could it be worse? People say Trump has no specifics, but he has been very specific, such as his Foreign Affairs speech. More will come, hopefully.


At any rate, your counterpoints and discussion are encouraged.  Type a ‘comment’ under this post.

QUESTION: Would you say Abraham was true to God?

Did Abraham serve God’s purpose when he turned one of his wives out into the desert, which lead to Jihad today? YES! It is the same with Glenn Beck serving God, but not knowing that Trump is the man for God’s purposes today!!! “Seek not to counsel God, but to take counsel from his hand.”

Beck, Levin, and Senator Ted Cruz

Glenn Beck is looking to vote 3rd-party if Cruz is not able to be the Nominee in a ‘brokered’ convention. He uses the wrong word, since there could be a ‘contested’ convention, but delegates will be voting.

Traditionally, that presumes that Trump will not cross the absolute majority after taking all 172 delegates in California, or before. At any rate, Mark Levin was more supportive of Trump at first, but Beck must have told him something (not allowing a person to change like Beck has) and he is now strongly anti-Trump, just like Glenn Beck and the several others who talk against Trump incessantly on his radio show. Senator Ted Cruz is more consigned to what is obvious, even though Rush Limbaugh says the future is definitely unpredictable. Rush seems to be hinting that Establishment Republicans may be lying and lying in wait.
