Glenn Beck Mormonism and Social justice

A lot has been been made about Glenn Beck's remarks about social justice.  Some point out that the gospel says people should be charitable to others and they are right.    This is far different than using government authority to force people to do good.   Mormon theology states that man has free agency and when man is forced to do good that is contrary to the gospel.   Some have quoted various mormons on this subject but most are personal opinion from those who do not have authority to speak for the church.  If a person wants to know the teachings of the mormon church all they have to do is look up what the actual leaders are saying.  In his official capacity Dallin Oakes Mormon Apostle stated in October 2009 the following.

"Along with many other religious people, we affirm that God is the ultimate source of power and that, under Him, it is the people’s inherent right to decide their form of government. Sovereign power is not inherent in a state or nation just because its leaders have the power that comes from force of arms. And sovereign power does not come from the divine right of a king, who grants his subjects such power as he pleases or is forced to concede, as in Magna Carta. As the preamble to our constitution states: “We the People of the United States . . . do ordain and establish this Constitution.”

This principle of sovereignty in the people explains the meaning of God’s revelation that He established the Constitution of the United States “that every man may act . . . according to the moral agency which I have given unto him, that every man may be accountable for his own sins in the day of judgment” (Doctrine and Covenants 101:78). In other words, the most desirable condition for the effective exercise of God-given moral agency is a condition of maximum freedom and responsibility — the opposite of slavery or political oppression. With freedom we can be accountable for our own actions and cannot blame our conditions on our bondage to another. This is the condition the Lord praised in the Book of Mormon, where the people — not a king — established the laws and were governed by them (see Mosiah 29:23–26). This popular sovereignty necessarily implies popular responsibility. Instead of blaming their troubles on a king or tyrant, all citizens are responsible to share the burdens of governing, “that every man might bear his part” (Mosiah 29:34)."
