    I don't believe he went on a mission. I believe he converted as an adult after a stint in rehab for alcoholism.

    Here goes... Josh, as an LDS member what is your opinion on Beck's recent remarks about "social justice" and "economic justice" suggesting that these are code words for Nazism and communism?

    Personally I like that our government has in place aid for those truly in need. I don't believe government should be the first choice for help. I believe in self reliance first, family to help second, and church or neighbors third.

    Thanks for responding Josh. Here's a link where you can read more about what he said:

    <a href="http://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2010/marchweb-only/20-51.0.html" target="_blank">http://www.christianitytoday.c...1.0.html</a>

    From the article:

    >>On his television show March 2 and on his radio show yesterday, Beck said "social justice" was the one common rallying cry of both Nazis and Communists because they both want totalitarian government.

    Jim Wallis, president of Sojourners, called for Christians to boycott conservative commentator Glenn Beck, who told his radio audience to question and abandon churches that say they promote social or economic justice.

    "What he has said attacks the very heart of our Christian faith, and Christians should no longer watch his show," Wallis said.

    Beck responded to Wallis on Thursday, calling Wallis "a leftist," "an operative for the Democratic Party," "an apologist communist for atrocities in Cambodia and Vietnam," and "a dedicated foe of capitalism."<<

I don't get it, but of course Beck has never made any sense to me.

    I think Gene Rayburn hosted and Paul Lynde, Brett Somers, Nipsey Russell and Jamie Farr were panelists.
