Is Bush as Bad as it Gets?

Rolling Stone calls him "God’s Senator." Sam Brownback is an American senator and the head of the Values Action Team, a group of right-wing policy advocates that meet once a week to determine the direction that the government should follow. These meetings are top secret and members are forbidden to discuss what gets said... and they have the ear of the President. Brownback claims it’s okay for unelected officials to to set policy and do it secretly, because the Bible sanctions it. "Everybody knows Moses, but who were the leaders of the Jewish people once they got to the promise land? It’s a lot of people who are unknown" (RS 993:56). The Values Action Team is part of a group of "God-led" cells -- small pockets of senators, generals, corporate executives, and preachers that have been appointed to power (and are therefore "God’s chosen") in order to construct a Kingdom of God on earth. He is against homosexuals, abortion, and fuel-efficiency standards, doesn’t want Islamic people to own oil companies, and backs the Constitution Restoration Act. This acts strips the Supreme Court’s ability to hear cases about faith-based abuses of power.

Brownback's going to run for president. The U.S. is becoming quite the scary place.
