Bush's take on church & state

Mikaela says:

True to form, Bush has an incredibly nuanced and thoughtful statement about the proper relationship of church and state in an interview yesterday with the Washington times (transcript).

"I fully understand that the job of the president is and must always be protecting the great right of people to worship or not worship as they see fit.

That's what distinguishes us from the Taliban. The greatest freedom we have — or one of the greatest freedoms — is the right to worship the way you see fit. And on the other hand, I don't see how you can be president — at least from my perspective, how you can be president, without a — without a relationship with the Lord.

I think people attack me because they are fearful that I will then say that you're not equally as patriotic if you're not a religious person. I've never said that. I've never acted like that. I think that's just the way it is. On the other hand, I think more and more people ... understand the importance of faith in their life. "

In response, Dan Froomkin received the following response (which I thought was hysterical):
Reader Kim Jonas writes: "Relationship with the Lord? I'd like to see our President have a relationship with the *facts*. And I'm a born-again Christian."

Rock on, Christian Soldier!

Good god people, wake up!
