16. Spot on. Anyone who thinks a "man of God" should be the leader of this country
Edited on Tue Nov-14-06 07:24 AM by BleedingHeartPatriot
has been proved tragically, unequivocally wrong.

Power, in the traditional, political or corporate sense, is incompatible with religion.

There are the rare individuals who combine their deep faith with a driving desire to help the poor and disenfranchised (Ghandi, MLK, Mother Teresa), however, they believe profoundly in caring for the least among us, which is anathema to the elite power brokers who occupy the WH.

And, for most who call themselves "religious", their belief system is nothing more than a way to feel superior to those who don't share their ideology. Which is what the WH cabal has understood and tapped into to cement their occupation of our government.
