Here's your daily dose of cognitive dissonance: Bush is a liberal. Have you not been paying attention?
And the question isn't really about saying a religious pledge; it's about whether or not government schools can force and/or intimidate kids into reciting a religious pledge. Do you like government schools? Bush does. He and his fellow liberal Ted Kennedy not too long ago increased the unconstitutional authority and funding for government schools.
Of course, you could prove me wrong. Has the power of the federal government increased, or decreased, since Bush took office?
Oh, just barely, sort of by a fingernail, so to speak, toenail. Suffice it to say that I don't buy what you are selling. I know you can point to isolated situations, usually dictated by political necessity rather than abandonment of conservativism, to support your point of view but I am not buying it. I am not blindly faithful to Bush (I supported and campaigned for Keyes in the primaries) and there are some things he has done that I dislike, but I do believe him to be an honest, decent man and not a liar, which is what he would be if you are right. On top of that, in this time of crisis I am happy we have a man like him and I am not worried that these laws adopted to fight terrorism will be permanent as long as someone like Bush is in office. No if we end up with a Democrat before this battle is over all is lost anyway so the point is moot.
