Politics

Over the past little while, I have really lost interest in anything political.  It all seems like a huge waste of time, with so much deception and misguided attention. The common opinion that all politicians are liars may or may not be true, but the the perception is based on something.
Anyway, at the same time, the question of faithful, Christian politics had been plaguing my mind.  What would a truly Christian political system look like?  I can say that a faithful, Christian political system would not look like what we currently have in the US.  I would argue in the basis of the religious foundations of the US, that is, evangelical Protestantism.  As I mentioned in a tweet today, the typical American Protestant church is radically different that the historic Orthodox church.  Therefore, it stands to reason that a political system derived from a religious worldview contrary to the historic faith would be contrary to the historic faith.
Obviously, an educated, well thought out answer to this question will not simply roll off my tongue.  This will take a long bit of thought and reasoning.
