It’s not just Joseph’s sex life that causes many Mormons to mistrust their leaders, but also the church’s persistent commitment to right-wing politics.
The irony is, of all the controversial things in doctrinal sources that the apologists claim are not doctrine, the same apologists will claim that the church's commitment to right-wing politics is official doctrine.
What you don't comprehend is that so-called "right wing politics" is based on a particular IDEOLOGY. And that ideology IS most certainly compatible and the SAME as LDS Doctrines, teachings, and theology.
I became a Republican when I really wasn't an expert between the sides, because I researched the history, the fruits, the behaviors, and the ideology's promoted by the two sides. The Democratic side, especially the more liberal side of it, was simply not compatible with LDS Theology. Yes, some small aspects are, but overall, liberalism is completely anathema to the Gospel of Christ and the Church.
The only things liberalism has in common with the Gospel is most liberals believe in being helpful, and being good stewards. But guess what, one doesn't need to be a liberal to believe and do those things, those are also Conservative/Republican values. Nearly every other agenda and ideology of liberalism/Democrat is completely contrary to Mormonism, is Satan's counterfeit ideology's.
Really, the only reason any good Mormon is a Democrat or especially a liberal is because they either don't embrace certain aspects of the Gospel, they pervert certain aspects, or they are being deceived by liberalism, or aspects of all. Obama for example is a great deceiver, pretending he's more conservative than he actually is, and many people who are actually conservative but on the Democrat side are deceived by his smooth talking. Proof of this is that studies have shown that some 75% of the country is actually mostly conservative. Thus, liberals are able to deceive about 25% of the people with their rhetoric who would actually be conservative if they understood things. Liberals constantly cover who they are and what they actually believe and are trying to do. It's all in their teachings. They know they can't overthrow America by force or their ideology, so they take baby steps.
