Quite frequently toward the beginning of his first term... Of course the Faith Based Initiative, stem-cell research and gay marriage come immediately to mind. You can argue that his position on gay marriage is not a religious one, but you'd be wrong. He made it repeatedly and readily obvious that his agendas were religious in nature since the very beginning of his first term, maybe even before he was elected. In the 2nd election, the larger part of his campaign agenda was to mobilize the religious right to the polls. How did you miss that? I remember reading news articles saying that the Bush campaign had sleazilly tried (and possibly succeded) to recruit church officials to hold meetings and push the Bush campaign on their congregations. If _you_ haven't seen an overt religious agenda from Bush from day one, you've got to be very nearly the only person in the world who hasn't, as evidenced by a great deal of writing on the subject: http://www.google.com/search?num=100&hl=en&lr=&safe=off&q=%22george+bu sh%22+%22on+god%27s+side%22 http://www.gseis.ucla.edu/courses/ed253a/update_on_bush's_religious_la nguage.html http://www1.union.edu/~feffera/hst27B/wills,%20theocracy.html I remember reading an article on this subject that I liked very much near the middle of his first term, but can't find it now. This article (below) can be attributed to an individual nutcase, but it strikes me as being the sort of response engendered by the "I know God personally" attitude Bush has represented throughout his presidency: http://chuckcurrie.blogs.com/chuck_currie/2005/05/east_wanynesvil.html s. isaac dealey 954.522.6080 new epoch : isn't it time for a change? add features without fixtures with the onTap open source framework http://www.fusiontap.com http://coldfusion.sys-con.com/author/4806Dealey.htm ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:173362 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
