The producers of a documentary about President Bush's faith hope to educate millions of Christians nationwide about the commander in chief's spiritual life by distributing DVD copies of the film to 300,000 churches – every church in the country with a mailing address.
"George W. Bush: Faith in the White House," produced by Grizzly Adams Productions Inc., is a 70-minute examination of the president's personal practice of Christianity. David W. Balsiger, producer and director of the film, hopes it will serve as a an alternative to filmmaker Michael Moore's anti-Bush "Fahrenheit 9/11." Coming out on DVD Oct. 5, Balsiger sees his film going head-to-head with Moore's. A statement from the production company says it hopes the documentary will "neutralize many Bush-bashers."

Good luck to 'em.
The Bush-bashers of the Democratic Party have no minds, or if they do, they are certainly not aware of the mind's correct purpose.
Oh. It's every DemocRAT in America soiling his or her panties.
This is great. Thank you President Bush for continuing to lead this country with strength and resolve during this time of crisis.
Rock on
Most pastors will not have the guts to show it.
Probably right.
And in any case, how does this "counter Michael Moore"?
Moore's charges against Bush, crazy though they are, aren't answered by a video about the president's spirituality.
People who take seriously a video about the president's spirituality are not people, generally speaking, who will be taken in by Moore's vile propaganda. Indeed, they're unlikely to have seen it.
While I'm glad this video has been produced, and while it probably will do some good among undecided churchgoers and family-values zealots who aren't satisfied with Bush, it does have a whiff of evasion about it. It's somewhat in the same spirit as "I'm praying hard for President Bush, and that's the best thing I can do." If so, why don't parents just pray for their families instead of working to provide for them? Etc., etc. In other words, religious people cannot simply focus on the spiritual dimensions of things. Sooner or later they have to confront the secular arguments against Bush, and make the secular ones for him. Political campaigns are never about a candidate's spirituality, though I'll allow a partial exception for Carter in 1976.
Render unto God the things that are God's, but render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's.
