I would add here there is also a streak of the fundy (in a mormon sense) that is at work here...

The Mormon Church has a 'Prophecy' about when a Mormon man becomes President... something to do with the four horsemen of the apocalypse and the Mormon Pres is supposed to 'cleanse the country' and make it righteous again...
this is no joke, this man really does believe he is 'anointed'...in a far worse way than GWB and his 'holy wars' because this nutso would bring it on our own soil... and probably move the Capital to Utah or something
