Those folks who are so removed from reality that they don't understand that our responsibility as Christians is to support political canidates and govermental initiatives that MOST represent and support Christian views. Not boycott the system or process and give it by default to heatherns.
I also was thinking of the conservative Pentecostal legalists who would not think twice about imposing their view of morality on the masses if they had the power. I am not speaking about morality in the sense of God's moral law but in their application of Christian principles.

Theocracy is a form of government in which the divine power (for example, in monotheisms, the one God) governs an earthly human state, either in person (e.g., as incarnation in a human being) or, more often, via its religious institutional representative(s) (e.g., church, temple), either replacing or dominating the organs of civil government as clerical or spiritual representative(s) of god(s).
