Agree that it's not entirely accurate, but definitely trying to be fair.

PING for an interesting article about the depth and calm of our President's faith.....

I guess the opposition would be more comfortable if President Bush was having an affair with an intern. I'm beginning to believe they (opposition) just don't understand that someone can have morals, believe in God, and be president of the greatest nation God created.

Bump!

(I plan to read it again later, with my "it's the Village Voice" filter off.) ;)

What's more, Lincoln adds, his primary orientation also holds that "the U.S. is the new Israel as God's most favored nation, and those responsible for the state of America in the world also enjoy special favor. . . . Foremost among the signs of grace—if I read him correctly—are the cardinal American virtues of courage, on the one hand, and compassion, on the other." For Bush to waver would be to tempt God's disfavor; what's more, we can speculate that the very act of holding to his resolve—what his critics identify as stubbornness and arrogance—becomes, tautologically, a way of both producing, and reassuring himself of, his special place in God's plan. The existential benefits are obvious. "Wherever the U.S. happens to advance something that he can call 'freedom,' he thinks he’s serving God's will, and he proclaims he's serving God's will."

I believe so too, and the liberals know it as well. No wonder they hate him so much.
