God puts nobody in leadership. Ideally 'the people' put individuals in leadership. In the case of JWB he was elected twice by a combination of electoral fraud and denying citizens the right to vote. It has nothing at all to do with God. Leadership in this world is almost invariably taken by the richest/most powerful from a small group of corrupt self-interested groups. If your God deems such individuals worthy then I fear your God is actually Satan.

I never did believe the US was a democracy. All that stuff about elections and candidates, HUH! It's just a smokescreen for the permanent committee of the industrial-military complex. Just like my gran always said.

That sounds something like "The Divine Right of Kings," not Democracy. No, the president is not accountable only to God. He, like any of us, must be accountable for his own actions. God isn't going to bail him out of his own ignorance, although I wish She would, because he seems incapable of rising above it.

Re: Political Quotes

Dead Kennedys : Moral Majority

You call yourself the moral majority
We call ourselves the people in the real world
Trying to rub us out, but were going to survive
God must be dead if youre alive

You say, god loves you. come and buy the good news
Then you buy the president and swimming pools
If jesus dont save til were lining your pockets
God must be dead if youre alive

Circus-tent con-men and southern belle bunnies
Milk your emotions then they steal your money
Its the new dark ages with the fascists toting bibles
Cheap nostalgia for the salem witch trials

Stodgy ayatollahs in their dobble-knit ties
Burn lots of books so they can feed you their lies
Masturbating with a flag and a bible
God must be dead if youre alive

Blow it out your ass, jerry falwell
Blow it out your ass, jesse helms
Blow it out your ass, ronald reagan
Whats wrong with a mind of my own?

You dont want abortions, you want battered children
You want to ban the pill as if that solves the problem
Now you wanna force us to pray in school
God must be dead if youre such a fool

Youre planning for a war with or without iran
Building a police state with the ku klux klan
Pissed at your neighbour? dont bother to nag
Pick up the phone and turn in a fag

Blow it out your ass, terry dolan
Blow it out your ass, phyllis schlafly
Ram it up your c**t, anita
Cos God must be dead
If youre alive
God must be dead
If youre alive
