What would Jesus’ life have been like if, instead of being born into the Roman police state, he had been born and raised in the American police state?

Unadulterated power in any branch of government is a menace to freedom. Where we find ourselves now is in the unenviable position of needing to rein in all three branches of government—the Executive, the Judicial, and the Legislative—that have exceeded their authority and grown drunk on power.
