God's Own Senator (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

Laugh it up while unreasoning religion and unfettered capitalism lead America toward a nuclear End of Days. In a summer not so far in our future, the party is over for everyone except America’s far-right Christian Republicans. Unlimited corporate contributions have drowned their opposition. Fat cat plutocrats, made invincibly rich by tax cuts for the wealthy, have bought the Congress, the courts, the Presidency, and the news outlets. The military has swollen into a vast war machine, bent on obliterating heretics at home and abroad and cowing international competitors. White, gun-toting Real Americans rule everything and everywhere. Are the Faithful happy? No! There are sinners to be chastised, and the Lord must be summoned to the final Armageddon. It is time for the Rapture of the Blessed, when they will rise bodily to heaven, hopefully in their large, gas-guzzling vehicles. To get there, they call on Senator Samson Whiteside, their anointed one, who, with strength like the biblical Samson and the power of true, unquestioning faith, will lead them to a prosperous paradise. As events and oil company billions propel him to the White House, Samson has one connection to reality. Will she be enough?
