Despite the alleged separation of church and state, BELIEF in Sustainability is widely held in American secular government. Judeo-Christian moral guidelines have been incrementally supplanted by what can best be described as neo-pagan ones. Consequently, notice where rulers never utter a harsh word against Malthusian, Utilitarian, Green and Islamistophilic nutcases. There the ruled are at grave risk.

Partials: Give Away the Keys, Get Blamed for the Thefts
On August 1, 2011, John Boehner caved to pressure (or, as yet to be proven, went along with his cronies) and gave the President the right to raise the debt ceiling at his will, as if Obama were a dictator.
Boehner is a most informative example of how power corrupts absolutely. A man who worked hard all his life, according to him, and in his twilight years becomes Speaker of the House, a goal which seemed so far out of reach to him only a few years ago. So what is the first thing he does as Speaker? Stamp his authority? No of course not! He is the Speaker of the House and allows himself to be co-opted into the criminal activity that is so rife on Capitol Hill!
And the McConnell he rode in on.
