When the Mormon leaders speak, we are to obey and believe, even if our scientific knowledge says otherwise.

God can (and often does) change his mind from revelation to revelation.

That is modern revelation. May I repeat? Modern revelation is what President Joseph Smith said, unless [then] President Spencer W. Kimball says differently.

If you are told by your leader to do a thing, DO IT! None of your business if it is right or wrong.

LDS Prophet (from 1985 to 1994), Ezra T. Benson proclaimed:

a. The Prophet rightly should be in politics - after all, we do need God in Government.

b. The Prophet is above all humanity, above all scripture, above all the other prophets, above scientific knowledge and Must Be Obeyed.

Sometimes, in American politics, we are asked to focus more on the platform than the candidate, because we can trust the party and the candidate's advisors to keep the candidate on the "straight and narrow" as best they can.

In Mitt Romney's case, his oath of office has already been sworn in a sacred LDS Temple ceremony. That oath is to the Mormon Plan for America, and it will supersede any oath of office as President.

And it doesn't really matter in the LDS scheme of things if Mitt Romney does not make it to the Oval Office, or even the office of Vice President. This Mormon Plan for America has been in the shadows for over 160 years. The Brethren believe it is their birthright, their purpose, their destiny to usher in the purification of the earth for Christ's return.

They did not give up on the plan when Joseph Smith failed in his bid for the Presidency, nor did they give up when George Romney withdrew his bid. They will rejoice if Mitt makes it, but if not, they will merely look ahead to the one who will usher in the "Kingdom of God" in the soon coming future. Meanwhile, they will continue to prompt their people to file for every level of public office, to be ready when the wonderful fulfillment of prophecy comes.

Et Tu, Glenn Beck

The story of Glenn Beck is a classic rags to riches one. Glenn Beck is presently one of the most popular talk show hosts, best-selling authors, and the darling of the conservative movement. Rather than tackling all the research to give you a concise look at his life from his beginnings to his present place in American politics, let me quote Wikipedia.

Glenn Beck was born in 1964 in Everett, Washington. His parents, William and Mary, lived in Mountlake Terrace, Washington at the time of Beck's birth and sometime later moved their family to Mount Vernon, Washington where they owned and operated City Bakery in the downtown area. Beck was raised as a Roman Catholic and attended Mount Vernon's private Immaculate Conception Catholic school. At 13, he won a contest that landed him his first broadcast gig as a disc-jockey for his hometown radio station, KBRC.

Beck's parents were divorced in 1977 and the 13 year-old Beck moved with his mother to Sumner, Washington, attending school in Puyallup. In 1979, his mother died in a mysterious drowning in Puget Sound, just west of Tacoma, either accidentally or as a suicide. A man who had taken her out in a small boat also drowned. A Tacoma police report filed after the drowning stated that Mary Beck "appeared to be a classic drowning victim", but a Coast Guard investigator speculated that she could have either fallen or jumped overboard.

After his mother's death, Beck and his older sister moved to their father's home in Bellingham, Washington, where Beck graduated from Sehome High School in 1982. In the aftermath of his mother's death and subsequent suicide of his stepbrother, Beck has said he used "Dr. Jack Daniel's" to cope.
