How curious of you to use the words "Bushbot" mindset about my understanding of the Scriptural mandate for Christians to be responsible citizens.

It has absolutely NOTHING to do with my support of President Bush, and that conviction of mine predated his Presidency by at least 30 years.

How warped your view is. And how very telling of where you're coming from.....

The scriptural mandate, as you call it, calls for recognizing the legitimate authority of government in collecting taxes and enforcing criminal laws. In short, Christians were not to be scofflaws.

You seem to assume that the Roman empire was a nice little democracy. It wasn't.

Oh, well, people like to imagine all sorts of things if it's convenient to their argument. I suppose it works if you think the Bible is a Ouija board. But a strict Biblical constructionist, like a constitutional constructionist, cannot find these 'mandates' in the documents you claim as your authority.
