Is it on the talking points from the DNC to question President Bush's wisdom in using faith related speech and quotes. This is the fourth or fifth article I have run across in the past couple of days, whining that it is causing divisiveness.

You may be right. I have seen this tactic lately too.
Looks like the Dems will stop at nothing to try to
undermine our President.
To: Utah Girl
All one has to do is look at Clinton, Carter and Johnson, three of America's worst presidents, to know what praying at the golden calf of liberalism produces.
Bush is already one of America's greatest presidents and his first term isn't even over yet.

"God will hopefully serve Bush well."I'd rather that Bush serve God well. Leave it to the media dunces to characterize God as a cosmic bellhop to the President.

I'm done.

I know that Bush's decision making to this point is sound and if is because of his faith then so much the better.
How refreshing to have a leader who's philosophy and decision making has a moral foundation.
Most of this bleating is originating from the Secular Socialists of Europe and now being echoed by the "useful idiots" in the American Media.

Dont you know that it is a violation of church and state for a conservative to read or quote Bible verses or say anything about God....if a liberal does it fine and dandy.. !

This is so weird. I had just read this on the main forum and started to post that sadly I'm seeing posts like these here on FR and in the religious forum of all places. I decided not to post and start anything though and then you pinged me back. Oh well, yall remember that I did TRY to hold my peace. :')

Funny that the writer uses Johnson as an example of an effective president.
Franklin, of course, is the guy that failed to end the Depression in two terms as president, failed to prepare us for war despite 8 years of fair warning. Sent Jewish refugees to their deaths. Opposed anti-lynching laws. Agreed to the partition of Europe.

God will hopefully serve Bush well. I highlighted the same sentence. I believe he does serve the Lord well, and am comforted knowing that he does look to Him for guidance and wisdom. The thought of my president on his knees every morning before the God of the Universe is awesome.
Our job is to continue praying for him daily. I'm SO thankful he is our President at this time in history.

IMHO a Bible-based President is exactly what this country needs at the moment. Though I would certainly disagree with compulsory Bible study attendence by White House staff, it is good to know that some there take the time to study it.
The writer seems to suggest that evangelicals are the namby-pamby sort, who could react to a changing world if only they weren't paralyzed by their rigid, dogmatic, belief system.
Horse-puckey
The Bible is a profound source of wisdom that is timeless and adaptable to any circumstance---including the current crisis.
It is the secular left that is paralyzed to the point of inaction.

Our fine ex-prexy Sick Willie Clintoon carried about a Bible weighing about 25 pounds.
The greater the moral dilemma in which Willie was involved, the heavier the Bible he toted.
Never read, of course.

"Lyndon Johnson's un-Christian-like deviousness helped persuade legislators to pass the most important civil rights bills since Reconstruction. What a line of crap....remember...it was the REPUBLICAN'S who got the CIVIL RIGHTS BILL passed.....not a "devious" President lacking Christian morals...the Republicans had the MORALS to do what was right....the rest of them were morally bankrupt. (And many still are.)

Avid faith may hamper presidential decisionmaking [sic]
This is moronic on the face of it. Everyone has a set of beliefs about life that shapes his decision-making, presidential or otherwise. What this title really means is, "If you don't believe what I want you to believe, then you won't make decisions in the fashion that I want you to make them."

"But the Bible would have offered President John F. Kennedy little practical guidance in removing Soviet missiles from Cuba."
It seems to me that another Cuban missile crisis is exactly what we're trying to avoid.
To: Utah Girl
Everyone wants to feel uncomplicated resolve. But sociological studies on the nature of professional conduct in organizational settings suggest that leaders who rely on religious templates when making decisions are less likely to make good decisions than those who consult experienced authority.I suppose this means that the writer does not consider God an experienced authority?!?
