Ugh…

Reminds me of this:

This sort of cult worship has no place in American politics.  We don’t worship our political leaders here, or at least we shouldn’t, be are a country that is to be ruled by the consent of the governed.  Meaning that our political leaders are supposed to be no more than average citizens elevated to positions of power so that they can execute what we want.

Worshiping political leaders smacks of monarchism.  Smacks of totalitarianism, and it makes me uncomfortable.  We fought a revolution over this sort of nonsense.

I don’t really like it when Republicans reminisce about Ronald Reagan as if he were some sainted deity instead of flawed (but overall excellent) leader, and I don’t like it when I see children singing hymns about Barack Obama either.  Our political leaders are arrogant enough.  We don’t need to feed their egos.
