President Bush has brilliantly sold himself to America's Christian and conservative population as their hero and standard-bearer. Unfortunately, his walk does not match his talk. It pains me to point out the following realities:
1. President Bush became the first Republican president to turn his back on Biblical morality by giving homosexual activists and programs the full support and backing of the U.S. government. Democratic administrations had made similar attempts to normalize sexual perversion, but this is a first for a Republican administration.
2. Bush became the first Republican president to support embryonic stem-cell research.
3. By creating his new Office of Homeland Security and ramming through Congress his so-called anti-terrorism bill, Bush has accrued new power to the federal government not seen since the FDR administration.
4. Bush has become the first president to create a military-tribunal court system without a declaration of war from Congress, thereby subverting the U.S. Constitution and setting himself up as a de facto dictator.
5. Bush has turned his back on the millions of suffering Christians in Indo-China by leading the effort to grant Red China permanent Most Favored Nation trade status and by paving the way for China's acceptance into the World Trade Organization. He continues to promote trade (even cross military training) with the Communist regime, its miserable human rights abuses notwithstanding.
6. Bush has turned his back on the people of Israel (and the Word of God) by promising to carve up the land God gave to Israel and give it to PLO terrorists. If Christians in the United States sit back silently on this issue (like they have virtually every other issue since Bush became president), we will forfeit the right to ask God to bless America.
7. In an embarrassing act that must be regarded as sycophantish, Bush invited some 50 Muslims to come pray at the White House yesterday. This was done in spite of the fact that Muslims worldwide began their celebration of Ramadan by praying for America's destruction. Furthermore, last Thursday Bush issued well wishes to Muslims by referring to "the holy Quran." As a Christian, Bush should know that there is only one holy, God-inspired Book, and it is not the Quran. For Bush to attribute divine authorship to a false religious system borders on the blasphemous!
The one bright light in all of this is Franklin Graham. Over the weekend, he rightly identified the Islamic religion as "wicked, violent and not of the same God." He further said, "Islam, as a whole, is evil." He also correctly pointed out, "It wasn't Methodists flying into those buildings, and it wasn't Lutherans. It was an attack on this country by people of the Islamic faith."
As you can imagine, Mr. Graham has been vilified and demonized, not only by liberals in the media but also by cowardly Christians and conservatives. However, Franklin Graham has thus far demonstrated the kind of grit not seen in a long time on the national stage: he refuses to surrender or apologize for his convictions. God bless him! He is a breath of fresh air, and he gives me something for which to be thankful because the record shows that Christians and conservatives (not to mention the Constitution) have been Bush-whacked.
What is this referring to?
You probably posted this tripe again, because on the first thread, Mr. Baldwin's "article" was intellectually torn apart.
Why is it I realize the "700 Club" and like shows would get little viewership in Heaven?
Yes, Islamic people flew into the WTC, and Shinto people flew at Pearl Harbor, and Catholics ran the Inquisition, and good little Lutherans ran Auschwitz....
When we think people's religious verbiage counts for more than their actions, we are all in trouble.
I do not quarrel with your sensibilities -- they are right on. But politics is the art of the possible. Our man is doing a remarkable job in that context. Let's live with it; better yet, let's enjoy it and pray earnestly for him. God Bless.
I'm a Christian but I understand that the President -, any President - is not voted into office to promote Christianity and to cater only to people of his faith, as Chuck Baldwin seems to believe.
I can disagree with or not be totally pleased with everything George W. Bush says and does, but I understand that the President is a political creature and often acts for political reasons, not religious ones. In many instances, the 'My Way or No Way' crowd are flat-out wrong but even where their criticisms may be valid, the piling on Bush combined with the sometimes gross misrepresentations of his words, actions or policies render these critics useless.
If you don't like Bush, fine, enjoy the company of liberals, Libertarians and the other 12% of the country that agree with you and think he's the anti-Christ. You're looking more foolish and flat-out wrong every day with these whining, sky-is-falling-we're-all-gonna-die diatribes but go ahead, have fun. Pretend that Bush owes you to the point that whenever he doesn't dance to your tune, he's evil and 'a dissapointment'.
Know what? No one really cares what you think.
Bush isn't perfect and won't ever please everybody but he's doing fine, the country will be better for his Presidency and the voices of doom and gloom will be long forgotten and these silly 'Bush-is-anti-Christian' posts are already being seen for what they are. False and useless.

Bush has sold out much of his base on numerous issues. But, you'd rather turn a blind eye to his reversal on affirmative action and other issues that he has caved on.
Bush has accrued new power to the federal government not seen since the FDR administration.
I'm confused, is it new power or has it been here before? The statement really is a confusing piece of sh*t.
