The lust for an authoritarian leader--male or female, Reagan or Thatcher, just drips from these guys. Libertarians don't blink at a Somalia comparison and Rightists don't blink when they imagine turning the US into Russia under the Czars or under Stalin because they always imagine themselves at the top of the heap. Its the authoritarian way. Choose your leader and slavishly follow. The stronger and the more unaccountable the better--just look at how they prefer their "old testament" god to even new testament Jesus, or how they transform Jesus into a violent destroyer in the Left Behind series. C.S. Lewis himself proposed that the more you try to understand god and make him reasonable, like a human, the less you understand him. They prefer their leaders violent, ruthless, and self interested.aimaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03956073425680585780noreply@blogger.com
