A small number of people—high priests, kings, Caesars, etc., stood apart from the masses and were viewed as being magical and/or godlike. This was because they were the interpreters of nature’s divine forces. Because these ''elites'' seemingly possessed these abilities, and were thus the vital link between the masses of ''lesser beings'' and nature’s divinity, they thus became the ultimate source of knowledge and authority. Quite literally, whatever they felt or thought became the law of the land. Self-evidently, this way of thinking united both secular and religious powers in one, which leads to but one end---totalitarianism. Interesting comment in lieu of the way some moon bat liberals think of the "Bush-bots" and religious conservatives in general.
We are so blinded by our "religion" and love of all things "Bush" or "Rovian", we are walking blindly into a totalitarian state and too stupid to know it. Only they have the clarity to see the enormous fraud being perpetuated upon the American people.
They are probably 100 posts a day at DUmmies basically saying that exact same thing
............and they think we are the gullible ones
