How about this one? It should really make you laugh, wiz.

The Leader of the Free World and our Commander in Chief in prayer.........

I have nothing against Christians, but I am not one myself, so it neither impresses nor shames me that he prays, if that's what you were hoping for. This whole thread started with an essay that ended with the statement that Bush is Christian first, president second, and conservative third. Well, I could have told you that, and that is where our paths diverge.

Bush is conservative only insofar as conservative theory is compatible with his particular Christian beliefs. If he considers it to be a Christian duty to feed, heal, and education half the world on taxpayer money, he'll abandon conservatism in a trice, as we've seen. And you are fine with that because you are ALSO Christian first, conservative second (which is why it is so ironic when you start going on about pseudo-conservatives.)

Those of us on Free Republic who admire Bush for certain things but disagree with him on others are most often conservative first and that is simply that.
