If they portray it as it was, GREAT!

I remember reading that he once claimed that men such as himself had been endowed by "...none less than the Almighty...." with the intelligence and drive to rule over "...lesser men...". And that any attempt to challenge that authority is an attempt to thwart the will of God.

Hmm, was that the same almighty who taught us to love our neighbours as ourselves?
