12. The look on people's faces wasn't the look of someone who agrees,

it was worshipful. They were all having a religious moment watching and listening to him. Some people were crying joyfully in religious ecstacy.

These people are messed up. Way messed up.

Yeah, we like Clinton a lot, but I don't think any of us look at him as though he were a Divine Being sent to save us.

The rightwing Christian idiot mindset is dangerous. It's also stupid, but most importantly, it's dangerous. They don't have the capacity to look at a government leader as just a guy who's been elected - he's either appointed by God to save us, or appointed by God to punish us and/or try to laed us astray.

They simply cannot understand that a person could rise to power and still be a normal human being. The situation HAS to involve God somehow for them.

And that's pretty damned dangerous.

That's why Shrubbie McCokeSpoon can lie so much, because the religious right was able to make him out to be a good Christian. So now he can do whatever the hell he wants, because he has Divine sanctification.
