And I say that because my father would be the most opposed, I lapsed a long time ago. But our opinion doesn’t count, coming from the other side of the 49.

No, thank you for calling me out. Putting a disclaimer in my comment crossed my mind, but my internal editor nixed it because it wrecked the flow of the comment and conversation. I figured I could clarify a couple comments down.

My impression is that by and large, Mormons don’t want to run the government according to their church doctrine (that hasn’t stopped them from entering some fights though, prop 8 springs to mind from the recent past). OTOH, Mormons have that long history of having the reverse problem of government persecution, and a Baptist Theocracy would not have a good prognosis on that front.

Anyway, with that clarification, I need bail for the afternoon.
