Mormon Church criticized for not picking leaders from Latin America, Africa
[...]
Although Rasband, Stevenson and Renlund are fine men who will make great leaders, the church missed an opportunity to make an important statement to Latter-day Saints of color or those from other countries, said Ignacio Garcia, a professor of Western and Latino history at Mormon-owned Brigham Young University.
"Saints of color always have to respond to: 'Why do belong to that white church?'" Garcia said. "It becomes harder and harder as we go further into the 21st Century: We still can't point to a more diversified leadership."
Patrick Mason, associate professor of religion at Claremont Graduate University in California and Howard W. Hunter Chair of Mormon Studies, pointed out, though, that Renlund and Stevenson have held major leadership positions with the church in foreign countries: Renlund in Africa and Stevenson in Japan. That may suggest that the church felt they could infuse international experience without having members who are from those countries, he said.
[...]
He makes a good point but I am sure there are some that are (now) asking: "Why is Garcia teaching at a white university?""If there is one thing I am, it's always right." -Ted Nugent.
"I honestly believe saying someone is a smart lawyer is damning with faint praise. The smartest people become engineers and scientists." -SU.
"Yet I still see wisdom in that which Uncle Ted posts." -creek.

I've been there many times. My inlaws live in that county. It wouldn't surprise me if they are sympathetic to the cause since they are constantly trashing, oftentimes rightfully so, the liberals on the coast.Originally posted by HuskyFreeNorthwest View Post"Discipleship is not a spectator sport.

Burns is by and large made up of good people. I sincerely hope only a nutty few are supporting the Bundy clown show.Originally posted by Moliere View Post"...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd.

I find it funny that many of my liberal friends are calling them terrorists and accusing them of breaking laws. I'm wondering what the difference is between the Bundy protest and the Occupy Wall Street protest?
I don't side with the Bundy's, but the hypocrisy in all of this is very thick and funny."Discipleship is not a spectator sport.

This, for starters:Originally posted by Moliere View Post
http://www.oregonlive.com/pacific-no...cart_big-photoAmong those joining Bundy in the occupation are Ryan Payne, U.S. Army veteran, and Blaine Cooper. Payne has claimed to have helped organize militia snipers to target federal agents in a standoff last year in Nevada. He told one news organization the federal agents would have been killed had they made the wrong move.
I can't believe Ryan Payne is stupid enough to openly admit that, but there you go."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

It's nowhere near the same things. Occupy Wall Street assembled in parks. They did not seize Federal buildings, and they did not bring guns and they did not threaten violence.Originally posted by Moliere View Post"The mind is not a boomerang.

They broke laws by assembling and staying in parks. They did threaten violence. Did you not see any of the videos around that time? OWS was very hostile to anyone that didn't agree with them.Originally posted by Non Sequitur View Post"Discipleship is not a spectator sport.
