For the first time in our history, ideology and theology hold a monopoly of power in Washington.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Washington is a city that coddles up to and worships power.
In American religious history, theological qualms tend to get pushed aside when politics intervenes.
Spirituality in Washington can be more of a - I don't want to say it - but, a networking opportunity. Religion is often used opportunistically in the political conversation.
Honestly, the egos and the quest and thirst for power is very prevalent in Washington.
There are some who invoke separation of church and state - to try to get the government out of the business of morality - but this is antithetical to what the founders wanted. The founders wanted to keep theology out of government so that government could focus on the proper business of morality.
When state and religion are one, religion becomes a means for the powerful to remain in power.
The power of the American system of republicanism lies in its capacity to allow religious belief to be a competing, not a controlling, factor in American life.
American government was founded on a belief and a faith in God and in doing what is right and just.
Our founders insisted that protecting the states' power to govern themselves was vital to limit the power of Washington and preserve freedom.
Politics in America is the binding secular religion.
