King George

I think I wouldn't object as much to domestic spying if I thought the government was going to do something sensible with it. If only rational reasonable people looked through my library records and listened to my phone calls and watched my every keystroke as I blogged, I would at least be able to say to myself "Its bad to have every move watched in Democratic society, but at least nobody is going to misinterpret things."

But these Republicans are not only paranoid and bad people, they are also completely nuts. So, it appears to me that it would be very easy for a hypothetical crazy person who hears voices from God and thinks they were sent to save the nation to misinterpret my reading selections or my phone calls with my friends.

But if you think about it, the natural consequence of a President who thinks God picked him out for the job (despite a notable lack of any qualifications) is overreaching and power grabbing. King George doesn't need those old fashioned checks and balances because God picked him. Somebody who talks to Jesus every day certainly doesn't need to consult with Congress.

Actually, King may not be a strong enough word. I think maybe Pharoh George fits better. Of course, ironically the Bible has a little something to say about selfish pharohs and kings....
