"In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men, the great difficulty lies in this: you must first enable the government to control the governed; and in the next place oblige it to control itself." James Madison, Federalist No. 51
This is exactly why the Bible lays out an Absolute Truth standard of what is right and wrong, good and bad, beautiful and ugly. There must be a rule of law which is outside the shifting opinions of unscrupulous men. This is why Exodus 18.21-22 would lay out a standard by which our leaders are qualified. According to those standards our current administration is NOT qualified. These are not standards which are too difficult... namely that our leaders be trustworthy, fear God, and cannot be bribed by special interest groups.
Once again... sad. We hate God's laws so much, that we would rather be subject to tyrants than to be governed by the Bible. Our founding fathers didn't think this way.
People often say, "The Bible laws are just too radical." Please consider this truth by Dresden James
"The ideal tyranny is that which is ignorantly self-administered by its victims. The most perfect slaves are, therefore, those which blissfully and unawaredly enslave themselves. A truth's initial commotion is directly proportional to how deeply the lie was believed. It wasn't the world being round that agitated people, but that the world wasn't flat. When a well-packaged web of lies has been sold gradually to the masses over generations, the truth will seem utterly preposterous and its speaker a raving lunatic."

Another example is Obama's current pick the State Department Legal Advisor, Harold Koh see: http://www.nypost.com/seven/03302009/postopinion/opedcolumnists/obamas_most_perilous_legal_pick_161961.htm?page=0
This is exactly what happens when there is no set standard for truth. Muslim law will rule in the United States. Or maybe the ancient Hindu practice of sacrificing wives when husbands die... does that seem loving? That is what happens when we reject God's law for man's reason.
