19. They believe that those whom God has called to lead-which, I guess, means anyone

who decides to run for office claiming God had something to do with that decision--is not subject to laws of man OR God.

Now, when you get that "Thou Shalt Not Kill" is one of the Big Ten laws of God......

This is what Governor Hiking the Appalachian Trail meant when he started muttering about King David after Gov got caught with his honey.

King David had tried to kill the husband of Bathsheba because David was lusting after Bathsheba. And David was still so beloved by God that he was chosen to be the ancestor of Christ (in theory anyway)*. So, from that, I gues, they got the concept that anything goes if you've been chosen to lead, including murder. (Shades of House of Cards.)

Most of the time, I try not to think about it because the more I think about it, the more awful it seems.


I posted something very similar Friday on another DU thread where the Family was discussed.

peacebird recently got an OP on this topic hidden. IIRC, it consisted solely of a subject line mentioning Hillary's connection to the Family and some links to articles on that subject, including one from that famous RW source, Huffpo.

Word to the wise.
