Bob Jones to Bush: You owe the liberals nothing.

Posted on 11/12/2004 7:18:21 AM PST by NinoFan

Dear Mr. President:

The media tells us that you have received the largest number of popular votes of any president in America's history. Congratulations!

In your re-election, God has graciously granted America—though she doesn't deserve it—a reprieve from the agenda of paganism. You have been given a mandate. We the people expect your voice to be like the clear and certain sound of a trumpet. Because you seek the Lord daily, we who know the Lord will follow that kind of voice eagerly.

Don't equivocate. Put your agenda on the front burner and let it boil. You owe the liberals nothing. They despise you because they despise your Christ. Honor the Lord, and He will honor you.

Works for me. I've been around long enough, to have seen what "bi-partisanship" looks like, when the other side is in power.

Good.

Screw Hewitt and the other compromisers.

Tom Daschle demonstrated exactly how much cooperativeness and bipartisanship we can expect from the left.

Push on and crush them.

Bob Jones' endorsement will do the President about as much good as Michael Moore did Kerry. The man's poison.

There can be no good reason for truth to compromise with falsehood.

The Christophobes abroad (and here) will go nuts, but a good deal of what he says is spot-on.

And your reason for not posting the whole letter is???

Here's an AP story on this:

Bob Jones Sees Bush Win As 'Reprieve'

Associated Press

GREENVILLE, S.C. - Bob Jones III, president of the fundamentalist college that bears his name, has told President Bush he should use his electoral mandate to appoint conservative judges and approve legislation "defined by biblical norm."

"In your re-election, God has graciously granted America - though she doesn't deserve it - a reprieve from the agenda of paganism," Jones wrote Bush in a congratulatory letter posted on the university's Web site.

"You have been given a mandate. ... Put your agenda on the front burner and let it boil. You owe the liberals nothing. They despise you because they despise your Christ," said the letter, dated Nov. 3.

A White House spokesman said he didn't know whether the president had seen the letter.

Jonathan Pait, a spokesman for the university, said the letter was placed on the school's Web site because Jones had read it to students in chapel and many told their parents about it. He said Thursday that Jones had not received a response from the White House.

Pait said it would be a misreading of the letter to think that "everyone who voted for the Democrats is a pagan" or that "if you voted for John Kerry you are a despiser of Christ."

"For example, there are those who voted for John Kerry because they opposed the war in Iraq," Pait said. "Dr. Jones did not intend to paint everyone with that broad a brush."

Jones wrote that Bush will "have the opportunity to appoint many conservative judges and exercise forceful leadership with the Congress in passing legislation that is defined by biblical norm regarding the family, sexuality, sanctity of life, religious freedom, freedom of speech and limited government."

In February 2000, Bush spoke at Bob Jones University when he was running for his first term in the White House. At the time, the school banned interracial dating and included anti-Roman Catholic material on its Web site.

The private Christian college has since dropped the dating ban but still maintains on its Internet site material questioning Catholicism.

Bush came under fire for the visit but defended it. He later wrote Cardinal John O'Connor of New York to apologize.

I didn't post the whole letter because of the copyright at the bottom of the webpage.

No doubt, this is the same whack-job that banned interracial dating at his university because he believed God didn't sanction race mixing. This endorsement can be used against the president.

Yes, and it just plain doesn't work when you try it anyway. If you forget your principles, grab your ankles and vote for some socialist dream program, they pat you on the back for your bipartisanship at the press conference, but the next day you're back to being a bigoted racist homophobe who wants to drag grandma out of the nursing home and rape her after cancelling her Socialist Security checks. And then on top of that, they never reciprocate and vote for anything of importance to conservatives.

Exactly my point. There are certainly whack-a-doo righties just as there are whack-a-doo lefties. Bob Jones is one such. President Bush would be wise not to touch Jones with a ten-foot pole.
