Kathleen Flake wrote an article first published one month ago in The Monterey Herald, and it is now in the Denver Post and "Special to the Washington Post." It is about the fact that Trey Parker's and Matt Stone's musical comedy The Book of Mormon is a smash hit on Broadway and two of George Will's short list of viable Republican Presidential candidates are Mormons. Flake's conclusion is that "Latter-day Saints have proven good neighbors, citizens and politicians. It's time to admit them to that well-populated club of people whose religion is not our own and even seems fantastical (virgin birth, predestination or infant damnation anyone?), but who are deemed perfectly acceptable presidential candidates.
Or, as Parker and Stone are saying, it's time to grow up."
