A form of government in which God, acting usually through his priestly or prophetic representatives, is the ruler.

This isn't even close to correct. Let's try Webster:

1 : government of a state by immediate divine guidance or by officials who are regarded as divinely guided [emphasis added by me]

God is not the ruler in a theocracy; corrupt, power-hungry people are.

TAKE ACTION NOW - NO MORE SITTING ON THE SIDELINES
The thing we have to do now, without any hesitation, is vote out this current Congress in 2010. Then take back our Nation in 2012. If we do not mobilize ourselves and others now to do this in ways far beyond where most of us have ever engaged in political matters, we will lose this country. And have ourselves to blame.

Just the usual anti-Protestant bashing.
