We deserved to be ruled by a totalitarian state because of the sins committed by our ancestors. Only Obama and his fellow elitists can cleanse us of our stains. We deserve to be 'Ruled", due to the transgressions of the past.

It sounds absurd, but that's the statist rationalization in a nutshell.

I prefer wood to plastic, leather to nylon, waxed cotton to Gore-Tex, and split bamboo to graphite.
