I find it funny that he says the Republicans are the 'First religious party in history' not even noticing that it is the Democrats who are the only party ever to elect a minister President (Woodrow Wilson). It's especially funny, because Wilson actually had the kind of 'God Complex' then he accuses Bush of having.

"...a minister President (Woodrow Wilson)."

Wilson was not a minister; he was a history professor (PhD in history). He was head of Princeton at one time. His father was a minister, but Woodrow Wilson did not study for the ministry and was never one, himself.

Wilson was indeed a nominal minister. That was not his primary, or even his secondary calling. He was a Ph.D., full professor and president of Princeton University at the time of his election in 1912. Your post discloses a great deal by saying too little.

That is not quite correct. The Republican president, James Garfield, was a Christian Church minister.
