I pooh poohed that all along but noticed his incredible ability to smoothe talk his way through everything and turn basic Christian values on their head. Incidentally, abc has a new hit piece up on conservative Christians, goading the readers to start trashing again. Somebody did come back with excellent quotes from scripture. But I digress.
Seeing how the world has gone bonkers over this guy seriously makes me wonder. The stage has certainly been set. I don't presume to know how the prophecies are to unfold, but how can anyone hope to put a check on his power by the mobs and the courts (who are probably afraid of him, too).
