Just wait until you hear about the LDS Mormon church, it's practices, and all it's federal employees. Not to mention that it runs as a top-down authority organization so everyone takes orders from their leadership.

Take for example Mitt Romney's homeland security record In Massachusetts: domestic spying, wiretapping, the Utah 2002 Olympic bribery scandal, the Bain capitol scandal and so on.

And the entire state ran completely by that church. Plain as day in front of everyone and no one seems to give a shit.

Democracy allows for the freedom to vote whoever you want into power.

If the people of the state agree with the current leadership, then Democracy is working as intended.

Ma3vis's point was that there is an ever-increasing number of Mormons in the federal government, which is a point of concern when several have proven themselves to be more loyal to their church that to the constitution

This is akin to pointing at one black drug dealer and saying all blacks are criminals.

Neither it true, and you should not judge an entire category of people by the actions of a handful of individuals.

Most federal employees would be horrified at the prospect of taking a bribe.

Corruption is rewarded In Colorado.

It’s a requirement to be hired as aurora police chief.

Arvada too.

Just wait until you hear about crooked politicians, judges, and lawyers.

Obviously not all or even most of them. Otherwise, this guy wouldn’t have been investigated, charged, convicted, and sentenced to federal prison.
