Bush is as entitled to his religious beliefs as much as anyone is in my view. If he gets comfort and good feelings out of his faith that's fine with me. I don't like the enormous influence of the hardline fundies though, to me they are THE single most intolerant, self- righteous, preachy bunch in the country, and the whole Bob Jones incident simply enraged me. I mean come on-John Hagee? Pat Robertson? Fred Phelps? What the hell year is this, 1892? Why the hell do such rampant bigots have such power? Don't you people get it yet? There's a hell of a lot of Americans who ain't white, aren't Christian, or are another sort of Christian, or some other combination that doesn't gell with nativism and your interpretation of The Bible. It's a changing world, face it, most people don't believe in burning Beatles albums or Harry Potter books. If that's what you wanna do, fine, then do it, but DON'T expect everyone else to meekly go along with it. This isn't 1924 anymore, there isn't gonna be any more Know Nothings or Henry Cabot Lodge like beliefs anymore. This whole thing about good wholesome Protestant work ethic and nativist impulses and all that is gonna be OVER soon. The country's changing demographically-deal with it. I don't really think Bush himself is truly prejudiced against other faiths, but I for one am not hoodwinked by his cynical vote -seeking appearance at that abomination of a so called school nor the false stuff that was spread about McCain by some of his campaign people down there.
