Q Mr. President, when you talk about peace in the Middle East, you've often said that freedom is granted by the Almighty. Some people who share your beliefs don't believe that Muslims worship the same Almighty. I wonder about your views on that. . . .
PRESIDENT BUSH: 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.
Allah offers the destiny, predestination and submission, not freedom.
Jr. can believe any cotton pickin' thing he wants to, but he nevertheless is dead wrong. The problem with Jr. is the stuff he says (affirmative action, Kwanza, Ramadan, "Jesus as philosopher") that he outta have the sense to SHUT UP about. He obviously can't tackle certain things, so why does he feel compelled to opine about them?
