There Is Improperly Mixing Politics and Religion, And Then There Is The…

HT: Newsbusters who attempts to analyze this piece. But I say, “Why?” Something that supremely disrespectful, not to mention incredibly silly, requires no analysis. It is true self-parody.

When describing his candidate as “my jesus” he has identified the object of his blind obedience. Oddly, the real Jesus would never ask such a thing, only an anti-jesus.
You don’t hear that kind of ranting among Conservatives because, for the most part, they say things like, “I think that so-n-so is the best choice”. Prosaic, but usually accurate.
Those true believers have surrendered thought for feelings. Groupthink: “He’s my homeboy.” That’s about as notional as one can go.
