I have defended Bush in the past, and still do for the most part. Not everyone agrees with everything any president does. I'm sorry you feel the way you do, but do not ask people to speak only what you want to hear. Prayer alone is not going to solve the problems facing this nation. He is our leader, not our religious leader. The Constitution is clear about separation of church and state. I however, do respect your view on this and other topics.
I never said anything remotely similar to this, VOAT.
As for your negative comments about the President as a man of God, you need to look at our past Presidents and see what they've said about faith. You sound like you've been listening to a very far leftist interpretation of the Constitution, and not reading what the document actually says (no surprise to me).
You might find it instructive as you seek to learn the truth about this country, and the leader God has given us to guide us through difficult days.
Hint............'separation of church and state' is not IN the Constitution.
I agree with you. The President of the United States is a political leader, not a religious leader. It is a very, very bad precedent for the President, any President, to characterize this as a nation of prayer.
Bush would win points with me if he said this is a nation of individual rights...a term now in disuse among politicians and intellectuals. Jimmah started calling it "human rights" and ever since, few politicians defend "individual rights".
Prayer is hardly a fundamental political concept. Rights are. But I don't think most politicians including Bush understand John Locke's ideas about natural rights anymore. The universities have done an excellent job of obliterating America's founding principles.
