Fred Walters is a hardscrabble farmer tending to his crops in rural Ohio when the Lord tells him he has a message to deliver to the Republicans. Being the good Christian that he is, Fred obeys without hesitation, only hoping he can be back in time to finish planting the rest of his crop before the next rain. (He just wonders why the Lord wouldn’t want to start with the Democrats first.) His wife, understanding that one must drop everything when the Lord calls, sends him off to Washington with a peck on the lips and some egg salad sandwiches.
Once in Washington, Fred heeds the Lord’s guidance to a parking spot in front of Fox News. He as the “honored guest from Ohio” they’ve been expecting. Fred marvels at how the Lord has prepared the way. Mistaking him to be the Ohio Senator, Fred breezes through security and winds up on a full segment with the Fox News anchors. Live on the air, the Lord’s message comes in to Fred loud and clear. But Fred isn’t so sure that he agrees with what his creator has to say . . .
