Bush's Remark About God Assailed

Bush's Remark About God Assailed

Bush had the poor taste to say something both true and quite nearly noble the other day; that Christians and Muslims worship the same God. Of course, he's gotten in trouble with the Christo-fascists in his party for this small attempt at open-mindedness.

Questioned about his statement, Bush replied, "I do say that freedom is the Almighty's gift to every person. I also condition it by saying freedom is not America's gift to the world. It's much greater than that, of course. And I believe we worship the same god." Bush returned again to the theme that freedom is a gift from God, a notion I have taken issue with before.

This is no way to run a Theocracy... where is the excommunication and the auto-de-fe? Patience, all things in good time.
