Nothing epitomizes better what's wrong with America than that: "Vote for me and I'll set you free!"
People want a savior it seems, especially of the presidential sort. If Christianity has had just one baneful influence on the American psyche, this obsession with presidential politics is it. No wonder the executive is imperial. That's just the way the slaves of God want it.
A more original, more free and noble America would save itself. It would demand broader, deeper and better representation, and would not wring its hands over our corrupt plutocracy.
Instead it would wring their necks.
The truth dies another death as the mobs cry "Give us Barrabbas!"
