Are the candidates making you feel like you don't have a country?

I grew up in a household that thought that God and His Way could be found in the political system. I went to an Evangelical Free Church and the rhetoric surround God’s will and the United States was almost deafening. I didn’t swallow the Kool-Aid. But when George W. Bush evoked the name of God as he waged the war on terror, I could relate when Christians thought it was the right thing to do. It seemed to many of them that “one of us” was finally in power, after eight years of Clinton, particularly. It was like they found their representative from God to bless us all. The men behind the scenes of the terror state, Wolfowitz and Cheney and Rumsfeld, weren’t nearly as religious (quite an understatement), but, man, was W. likeable! Even my left-of-center friends still think he’d be great to get a beer with. (I’ll pass, though.)
