The doctrine that the state is supreme over the church in
ecclesiastical matters.

Conservatives practice situational constitutionalism, favoring what Healy calls "Caesaropapism" as long as the Caesar-cum-Pope wields his anti constitutional powers in the service of things these faux conservatives favor.

OK, whatever.

Funny thing is, it struck me how much of a system of faith "libertarianism" is.

The conservative ideal to have a president be someone who understands and reveres the Almighty and America's place in His order is not at all the same thing that leftists seek when they build a cult around someone in order to hook the masses by blind emotionalism in order to harness their passing fancies.

God, we're drowning in an ocean of bad ideas and misperceptions.

"Barack Obama will require you to work. He is going to demand that you shed your cynicism. That you put down your divisions. That you come out of your isolation, that you move out of your comfort zones. That you push yourselves to be better. And that you engage. Barack will never allow you to go back to your lives as usual, uninvolved, uninformed." ~~Michelle Obama, 2008

She sounds just like Mao's wife Jiang Qing.
