You have now exposed yourself as a fake.
Right. Because as a missionary to the third world, I'm a fake.
Better read up on the Old Testament some more, as there are some real eye openers for you. There are indeed rulers like Saul who God used to pursue His goals with His Chosen, and yet he gave him deserved judgement.
Uhmm…… how biblically illiterate are you? God did not raise up Saul because God wanted him to be king. Israel demanded a king, despite the warnings they received about what would occur if they had one ruling them instead of God. They refused to listen, so God gave them Saul - and as scripture tells you - God regretted he made Saul their king, and Israel suffered for their want of a monarchy.
Nothing new under the sun.
Your haughtiness in believing you know God better than He knows Himself is going to not serve you well in the next life.
Often a charge leveled by those who are biblically illiterate with just a passing understanding of scripture or by whose understanding is based on tradition or their own image of what they want God to be. You are not the first and you will not be the last to make such accusations.
Though it is more fun when the Hindu and Muslim leaders do it.
They are not quite as invective as you are.

Wow, then why did you not simply fall on your sword when Obama was elected? Seems you cannot see very far into the future.
Rejoice - you are in a majority opinion that believes that a lifelong NY liberal Democrat and his regime are going to restore the former glory to a nation that has little need of God anymore.
Despite what our own history, our Founders and God Himself had to say on the subject.
But don't let me disturb your optimism with my "pessimism".
