If Glen Beck is noticing many of his opponents use social justice to combat some of the Republican/Conservative ideas, then he needn't take on those who believe in social justice, stick with taking on their ideas and explain why they won't work. Beck telling people to run from churches that believe in being involved in social justice is more sickening to me. I know he wouldn't like the someone putting a theological metric to his LDS faith.

Coadie, you told Aquila it was legislation. That's silly. Legislation doesn't create itself, draft itself, get enough public support to be important all on it's own.
You mentioned charity. That is different than social justice.

By the way, I understand legislation. I have also read the constitution. We are endowed by the Creator the right to life liberty and pursuit of happiness.

It doesn't say right to an equal share of prosperity.
Actually Mormoms are very capitalistic. They are distinctly against socialism.
