Ted Cruz, King of the Seventh Mountain
These people have a world-view that is totally incompatible with democracy, or secularism, or science, or anything else related to the Enlightenment.
This is what Ted Cruz was born to do:
...
In case you don't know what this is all about, here it is from their own mouths:
They're on a mission from God to anoint their King of America and take the money away from you moocher heathens and give to the righteous producers of salvation.
But that's OK. I'm sure that if Obama just "leads" more, he can convince these people to put country first and do right by the downtrodden and uninsured. He just needs to host a few more cocktail parties or something.

In a sermon last year at an Irving, Texas, megachurch that helped elect Ted Cruz to the United States Senate, Cruz' father Rafael Cruz indicated that his son was among the evangelical Christians who are anointed as "kings" to take control of all sectors of society, an agenda commonly referred to as the "Seven Mountains" mandate, and "bring the spoils of war to the priests", thus helping to bring about a prophesied "great transfer of wealth", from the "wicked" to righteous gentile believers. link to video of Rafael Cruz describing the "great transfer of wealth" and the role of anointed "kings" in various sectors of society, including government, who are to "bring the spoils of war to the priests".

In case you don't know what this is all about, here it is from their own mouths:
In 1975 Bill Bright, founder of Campus Crusade,
and Loren Cunningham, founder of Youth With a Mission,
had lunch together.
God simultaneously gave each of them a message to give to the other: “The culture is shaped by seven mind-molders or mountains in society. If we can influence each of these areas for Christ, we will win the culture of our nation.”
These 7 mountains are:
Media Mountain
Government Mountain
Education Mountain
Business Mountain
Church Mountain
Arts and Entertainment Mountain
Family Mountain
...
as 'King of Kings'.... He is the Lord of government
as 'The Great Teacher'.... He is Lord of education
as 'Johovah Jira'.... He is our provider and Lord of business
as 'The Living Word'.... He is Lord of all media
as 'The Potter/Gardener/Architect'.... He is Lord of all arts and entertainment
as 'The Father'.... He is Lord of the family
as 'The Messiah or Lord of Lords'.... He is Lord of the Church However, there is great news.
God is our savior for everything and that is a wonderful revelation. It is time to not only invite God back into these 7 mountains, but it is time to put Him in charge of them. All it takes is the willingness of each of us to step up and make it happen.

Why, exactly, is this kind of creepy theocratic behavior by our fucking Congressmen not more widely publicized?

On March 23, the Dirksen Senate Office Building was the scene of a coronation ceremony for Rev. Sun Myung Moon, owner of the conservative Washington Times newspaper and UPI wire service, who was given a bejeweled crown by Rep. Danny K. Davis, D-Ill. Afterward, Moon told his bipartisan audience of Washington power players he would save everyone on Earth as he had saved the souls of Hitler and Stalin — the murderous dictators had been born again through him, he said. In a vision, Moon said the reformed Hitler and Stalin vouched for him, calling him “none other than humanity’s Savior, Messiah, Returning Lord and True Parent.”
