No, AFAIK, President Bush is not a Mason, though he did want to take his oath of office, at his first inaugural, using the MASONIC Bible, that George Washington and many other presidents have used to do so. The ONLY reason that he did NOT do so, is because of the inclement weather, which might have had some negative effects on such a rare and old book.
And if anyone is interested in seeing this bible, it is housed in the Grand Lodge of the State of New York, which is situated at 71 West 23rd Street, in Manhattan. As a matter of fact, anyone, Mason or not, will be given a tour of this beautiful building, at their request. The newly restored rooms are breathtakingly beautiful and the Museum is fascinating!

Your ignorance of history is mind boggling!

DeMolay is for TEENS and Clinton was never really a member of it; he was a sortof "honorary member" and never participated.
Fifteen, 15 American presidents were Masons.

Clinton's values fit hand-in-hand with those of Freemasonry.
Everything is relative and there are no absolutes. That in a nutshell my friend is the essence of Freemasonry.
7 of the 9 judges who sat on the Supreme Court between 1940 and 1970 were Freemasons, and they universally ruled against the positive role of Christianity in public life.
Masonic values at work. Gotta love it.

Millions of Catholics devoted to Padre Pio would be shocked and angry.
And all the Catholic Freemasons - yes, Virginia, there are many - won't be.

Please see my list of presidents who were Mason. If elected, Dole would have been the 16th.

The Masons who ran the ceremony you attended are as related to the ones who committed the history you relate as, well, I am to my ancestors of 300 years ago.
Which is to say, barely.
Come ON. It's a bunch of balding middle-aged men in costumes speaking lines. It smacks far more of a theatrical society than a global anti-religious conspiracy.

No, not revisionists and it has been posted all over FR. You should really read much more of FR ( and the archives ), instead of engaging in nefarious and vile impugnations of Masons; n00b.

DeMolay is for TEENS and Clinton was never really a member of it; he was a sortof "honorary member" and never participated.That's not correct:
At Hot Springs High School, Bill Clinton was an active student politician as well as a leader in the school's activities. He was Band Major and was active in the Beta Club, National Honor Society and chorus. He also was active in the Hot Springs Key Club and the Order of DeMolay. He became an all-state saxophone player during that time, a talent he gleefully displayed on television shows such as "The Tonight Show" and "The Arsenio Hall Show."
President Clinton's Hometown
And from the Order of DeMolay
Since 1919, the Order of DeMolay has seen millions of members take this pledge in Chapters that have spread to all fifty states and several countries. Young men from all walks of life have benefited from membership in DeMolay. Our ranks have been honored by such notable names as: John Wayne, Walt Disney, Walter Cronkite, Dan Rather, John Steinbeck, Bill Bradley, President Bill Clinton and many more (see www.demolay.org for a complete Hall of Fame).

As a Freemason I respect the Catholic Church.
No, you don't. You can't. The people upthread said so.

Bill clinton was never a mason and if he were, he probably would have been thrown out after being impeached.

The contents of that post are based on an utterly biased misreading of Masonic writings. The author had an agenda like nobody's business.
Not to put too fine a point on it, that there's bullshit.
