Interesting article. I’m a Mormon and a frequent reader of this blog, and I’m working to get my LDS friends fired up about distributism and localization. It’s a natural fit for us both temperamentally and theologically.
The Mormons are still asleep, politically; even with Romney on the ticket there’s a lot of indifference. For every Mormon excited about Romney, there’s one who is anxious about the increased exposure to criticism or persecution a Mormon president would cause. Just our support for Prop 8 was cause of enough vandalism and hate.

By the looks of some of the comments to your post in the A.C., it would seem the Missouri Pukes are alive, well and still looking for a fight.
