Let’s Celebrate the Bush Marriage posted 4/28/01
In the past years, the children and youth of America have been bombarded by an increasing number of sexual images and ideas not only in entertainment, but also in advertising and public discourse. The moral depravity of Bill Clinton's behavior has exacerbated the situation so much so that younger and younger children are now experimenting with sex. There has been an alarming increase in the number of cases of oral STD's among 12 and 13 year olds, and these same children when asked, thanks to the example of Clinton, say that they have not had sex. Public discussion has coarsened significantly, so that we hear about oral sex and cigars, and yet we still hear very little about the right kind of sex, that is within marriage.
And now onto the stage walk the honor and dignity of George and Laura Bush, who have a marriage that is obviously filled with love, affection, and vibrancy, and who have chosen the path of morality and fidelity to each other. They are clearly the role models that our youth so desperately need in this sordid world. Kids now know all the details about sex, but most of them have no clue as to its depth and meaning. They see sexual experiences on the screen 99% of which involve unmarried people. They believe that it is unmarried sex which is the norm, even though statistics prove that it is happily married couples who have the most satisfying and most frequent sex , (and when the spiritual dimension is added, it truly becomes what God created it to be).
I may be climbing out onto a limb here, but I believe that we as parents and teachers, and as Christians, have an opportunity to help guide our kids toward the path of morality by using the First Couple as a positive example, not only because of their character, but because of their strong and loving marriage. Bill Bennett, compiler of the Book of Virtues, said in his evaluation of Bush's first 100 days that it was refreshing to have a President who kisses his wife goodnight, and then goes to bed with her!!
Perhaps we, who believe strongly in Biblical morality should be more vocal about married love of this kind. Scripture is obviously not shy in its discussion of the pleasures of sex within marriage, and perhaps we shouldn't be either. I believe we should be celebrating the marriage of George and Laura Bush as an example of what out kids should have as the goal, and not be afraid to tell them why.
Happy Anniversary George and Laura Bush!
George W. Bush since August 10, 1999, and
Laura since August 21, 1998. {;~)
Thanks for your example, Pres. and Mrs. Bush.
How blessed is America and the world by our President and the First LADY!
I think they may be bringing back a revival of good old fashioned love and romance - along with the long ago cast aside ideal of committed couples = man and wife, married, devoted to each other through the tough and the good times.
How we have needed to bring back this concept!
A Very Joyous Anniversary, President and Mrs. Bush!
May God bless and keep you and carry you through many more wonderful years together!
Thank you also for your courageous leadership of this nation at this time of heartache, grief, and sorrow. Your shining example has given all of us inspiration to go forward with courage, determination, and even joy.
You are in our earnest prayers daily.
Happy Birthday to a sweet, dignified First Lady and Happy Anniversary to a wonderful couple. I thank God every day for the fact that you are there; and pray for your safety and wisdom. God Bless.
Of course the real scene to watch would be when President Bush announces it to the nation in front of the senators. Specifically Hillary. They would have to have a medical crew standing by if they wanted to save her. Notice I said "if".
That pic you see was taken after Bush's victory in the South Carolina. Standing next to him talking to someone else is our former Governor Carroll Campbell, the tall man with the mustache is our current Lt. Governor Bob Peeler, and standing directly behind him who you can only see his eyes is SC Attorney General Charlie Condon. Both Peeler and COndon are seeking the Republican nomination to run against our current Democratic governor Jim Hodges.
ROFLOL!!!!

They're FReepers! For real?
I've been waiting for both of those myself! I have both of them, but I can't seem to get them to post!
I was also hoping we'd see a special Anniversary kiss (suitable for public consumption, of course!).
