About the spiritual issues, I'll just say this: If your life really belongs to Jesus, I don't have to explain to you what's wrong with this. If it doesn't, it's useless to try because you'll say something like "Come on, lighten up, don't take it so seriously, etc." and I'll quickly recognize it's a waste of time explaining it to you.
So we'll move instead to the question of just whose idea this was. Via the Daily Caller, if Hillary's campaign didn't ask for the song to be sung and altered, they certainly didn't seem to have a problem with it:
If you want to actually listen to this abomination, which is at least more melodic than the screeching tones of a Hillary speech, knock yourself out: (scroll down for video)
About presidential candidates who find it appropriate to be worshipped in a manner similar to that of Christ, even having their own names substituted for His in songs written for Him - seems to me we tried someone like that and his narcissism proved problematic.
This too: If you really think Hillary would be a good president, your logic sure escapes me, but OK. You think what you think. But if you're waking up in the morning with Hillary on your mind and you feel moved to express your inspiration in melody, I'm going to say that maybe you're looking for a little too much from political leaders.
But that's the only thing that's kept her viable this long, isn't it? The actual track record of Hillary Clinton offers nothing to recommend her for the presidency - the resume, sure, until you look past it to the actual record - but the myth of Hillary! is something else entirely. That's the once-in-a-lifetime First Lady so brilliant and competent in her own right that she was practically the co-president, and whose brilliance we would be fools to deny ourselves as first woman president! Because it's time!
Or, if you prefer, long-suffering wife of a serial philanderer who stood by her man and is owed the presidency as payback. Whatever works for you.
The point is that all these narratives were crafted long ago when she was still relatively new on the scene and it was easier to sell them to people paying only scant attention, or to people so taken by romantic notions like these that they would be willing (and probably still are willing) to overlook the obvious load of crap that is every word of it.
So it only makes sense that liberal women sing hymns of worship to Hillary, whose political persona is every bit as mythical as most of them probably think Jesus is. And it makes sense that Hillary stands there and lets them do it. Because deep in her soul, Hillary has to sell this crap to herself every day, and the crooning of a choir can only help. Actually I suspect it's not nearly enough, as Hillary of all people knows what a fraud she is. But she can probably buy the notion that the great unwashed would be influenced by it. So yeah. Sing. Give praise. Alleluiah! It's still better than listening to her speak.
