| A intersting Bush Jr. quote. I want to know what you think. -
01-28-02
Quote:
Religious freedom and tolerance is a protected right. I am committed to the First Amendment principles of religious freedom, tolerance, and diversity. Whether Mormon, Methodist, Jewish, or Muslim, Americans should be able to participate in their constitutional free exercise of religion. I do not think witchcraft is a religion, and I do not think it is in any way appropriate for the U.S. military to promote it .
-George W. Bush, October 15, 2000
|
EDIT: ' Promoting it' should be read ' accepting it/considering _____ a recognized religion' in this case.
It's called 'legal-ese'. Politicians use it exclusively.
May you find beauty in evertything you see.

Sounds to me like Mr. Bush has stated an opinion and however unpopular that opinion may be on this forum or anywhere else; he is entitled to it.

But the law is the law and legally wicca is a religion, and it doesn't matter what Bush believes in the case.

Poor Man, Such a waste. See that is what Ignorance, Christanity and Politics Create..... Nah it was just a really dumbassed thing to say. Personal beliefs should never cloud your opinions when in a position of power, especially since he is supposed to look after the Wiccans too.

Personally I like Bush, and I am sure that the comment was taken out of text, and what exactly was meant by "promoting" is the question....
I personally don't want the military on my poarchstep with Bibles, I'm sure that Bush wouldn't the military on his doorstep with a book by Scott Cunningham (cheesy reference - but you get the point),

This is true. He was not president at the time of this comment either.

HAHA! Here's one spin on it then, Maybe it is not a personal view, maybe it was an attempt to innfluence Christian votes, using subconcious flags in an offhand (and implying) way.... Could be, It's an idea.

well - to tell you the truth, the comment doesn't threaten me in any way. There's absolutely nothing he can do about it without coing through th Senate and the House Of Representatives, Wicca is a religion, that is law, end of story....
*hugs Radai tight* but thanks for the support and that is a very interesting idea. Then again, he is very loudly Christian, maybe he truly does believe it.

LOL Christian or not, his comment means nothing, he cannot stop someone being what they are.
But Thanx for the Hug, you are most welcome.

Just to get this straight...he's not our "ruler" either...he's just the head of our executive branch.

So in short, Bush is saying "You're free to follow any religion except that one" and to get out of yet another Animal Farm reference he says that he doesn't consider it to be a religion?!?
Well I don't consider him to be qualified enough to be President but he is anyway
