Friends,

I have often commented on how America is sliding backwards in time under the Bush administration. I have compared his dictatorial use of the White House to circumvent existing laws and the Constitution to the old way humanity lived under kings and oligarchs. How many times have we called him "King George"?

Now, I see us sliding even further back in time. Before the middle ages and dark ages when humanity was ruled by kings, people were ruled by god kings or god emperors. The leader was treated as a godlike idol.

While this god emperor mentality has persisted into modern times in some remaining primitive cultures around the world, the last extensive modern vestiges of this practice were found in Imperial Japan and in the secular fascist politics of Italy and Germany prior to WW2.

Many people crossed this line with Bush. We called them the Bush Bots and they were the ones that still border line worshiped the man till the very end. I often joked that many of them prayed to Bush instead of for him.

Watching CNN and the other major networks for the past few weeks, they have produced Obama inauguration spots that rival Sadam Hussein's way of stringing up heroic paintings and statues of himself.

I'm almost surprised they have not stenciled in wings, a halo on Obama while photo shopping in shafts of divine sunlight shining down upon him.

What I'm seeing now is almost a deification of the man which is beyond dangerous.

Then today, I read this....
