Bush Calls for 'Culture Change' - Christianity Today Magazine
Again, my job is to try to distill things down so that average people can understand it. Here's the way I put it, "Government can hand out money, but it cannot put love in people's hearts or a sense of purpose in people's lives."
===
And my family life is great. I wouldn't be talking to the American people about seeking the vote if I couldn't say loud and clear that my marriage is really good.
===
I say, "It helps a lot." And people say, "Well how do you know?" I say, "Well if I have to explain it to you how I know then you can't possibly get it. I just know."
===
You don't need a chapel to pray I don't think. Whether it be in the Oval Office, I mean, you just do it. That's just me. I don't say that to try to get votes.
===
I say to our fellow countrymen that my job is not to promote a religion but to promote the ability of people to worship as they see fit.
===
I don't give speeches where I mean I talk about love and compassion when it comes to doing one of my jobs which is to rally the spirit of the country and call people to service.
(---WTF??---)
===
I'm the kind of person who doesn't change. The best thing I can do is to be myself so that when I finish my job here I will say I was comfortable with who the world saw.
I think others will have to reflect upon what it means where there's a worry that somebody holds the office that also understands there's a higher power.
===
Q: What are you doing to defend traditional marriage?
Bush: Well, first of all, I took a strong stand publicly, laid out a constitutional amendment, which in itself becomes a benchmark for people to rally around—in itself was a statement from the presidency that says the country has an alternative to that which they're seeing on their TV screens.
(They just hate to see the two men kissing. That's what this is all about. I ask again: Is Bush gay?)
===
(Like Reagan, he remembers when he's been on camera)
And my judgment is the American people don't want that. But I don't think they quite understand that which is happening in Massachusetts. … It can affect their life. I've explained that several times on camera.
===
I mean, if you do business there it is a great opportunity for Fidel to … support himself. I mean he's the guy who imprisoned librarians recently because of what they were doing. I mean, this is what he is. He is a tyrant in our neighborhood. Someday it will be free.
(Hey, twit, better copy this interview to Ashcroft...)
===
And you can't fake your faith, nor can you use your faith as a shallow attempt to garner votes, otherwise you will receive the ultimate condemnation. And therefore, the best way for faith to operate in somebody is, as I said, to let the light shine as opposed to trying to defend or alter or get my job mixed up with a preacher's job.
And the only way you can do that is just be yourself, without crossing any lines of politics and religion. Separation of church and state [is] important in America. And by that I mean the people of faith should participate in the state, and there's a difference.
All right! I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. I've got something else to do today. Thank you for your time.
(Church and state should be separated by...not making them separated...um, listen, I gotta go...)
