Anybody else realize how very weird that is? Don't those kind of people usually end up at insane asylums?

And yes, I know it isn't recent. I would like to see some input on this though.

That's what our president said before we invaded Afghanistan. Now, if only God could whisper in Bush's head his speeches. Then he will never again say things such as "They will never stop thinking of ways to harm us, and neither will we."

Sunflare, I am actually appalled that he said God told him to invade prior to the wars. Now we have two large disaster areas, and he said God told him to do it.

"I feel like God wants me to run for President. I can't explain it, but I sense my country is going to need me. Something is going to happen... I know it won't be easy on me or my family, but God wants me to do it."
--George W. Bush commenting to Texas evangelist James Robinson in the run-up to his presidential campaign

"God told me to strike at al Qaeda and I struck them, and then he instructed me to strike at Saddam [Hussein], which I did, and now I am determined to solve the problem in the Middle East. If you help me I will act, and if not, the elections will come and I will have to focus on them."
--Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Abu Mazen quoting Bush when they met in Aqaba; reported in The Haaretz Reporter by Arnon Regular

"I don't think that witchcraft is a religion. I wish the military would rethink this decision." - to ABC NEWS, June 1999, regarding Ft. Hood's decision to allow Wiccan rituals

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. (Washington Times, 12 January 2005)

I trust God speaks through me. Without that, I couldn't do my job.

Answer 2

Nice! Well, I think HE believes God told him to do it.
In fact, I hear he and Rummy got advance notice of the Apocalyps! It's a very exclusive event-you have to be a BigOil Heir or an Enron-Type Robber, or a high-dollar contributor to the NRA. . .
. . . Oh, I almost forgot-a "good, God-fearing, white Christian" who is either too complacent or too dumb to understand why we don't evangelicize politics in this country!

WHAT A NUTCASE!

(Ok, I'll get off my soap box now. I know this ranting probably sounds like the online-forum-version of Dean's "I Have a Scream" speech, but I just get so riled up over all this.)

Answer 3

I believe that there is a spritural reason why George W. Bush became the President of the United States of America in 2000. I cannot explain to you what my reasoning is but I do believe that by faith George W. Bush became the President of the United States of America.

Answer 4

Ah, to have such a naivete and lack of understanding...

First, you need to know that no Palestinian is a friend of America.

Second, there has been no corroboration of what our Palestinian "friends" said.

Third, if he did mention God, it was probably more in the line of praying to God to guide him to make the right decision. This is the most likely event, and the remark was lost in translation.

You're so obsessed in your hatred for Bush, you have lost all capacity to reason and inquire.

Answer 5

I wouldn't doubt it, but the source is weird as well. A San Fransisco paper (can't get much more liberal than that) quoting a foreigner about Bush. It is all hear say, but I still wouldn't doubt it. As a person who doesn't know what to believe when it comes to any higher power, I agree with Bush's "God."

Answer 6

according to charles barkley god told him he would win an nba championship. according to oral roberts a 50 foot jesus said he would kill him if he didnt build a multi million dollar university. according to george mckinney god told me all i had to do was believe in his his son jesus christ and that only through his son the world would be saved. i dont know about what god said to the other 2 cats but what he told me i believe.

Answer 7

Whats humorous, is all those liberal articles, all try to declare the surprising comparable source, which replaced right into a foreign places newspaper. No significant information source, ever even tried to make beneficial the story. There are no witness's to Bush ever even nonetheless. yet liberals merely anticipate it truly is actual, because of the fact of their preconceived ideals. it truly is merely like liberals believed Bush had an 89 IQ, because of the fact t a Parody internet internet site made a pretend internet internet site and tale that pronounced so. Libs took it as a certainty. Or undergo in techniques the 60,000 acre ranch Bush supposedly offered in Paraguay ?? All article appropriate to a pair small paper that replaced into not even revealed in Paraguay, yet a neighboring u . s . a .. Or how with regard to the " bush pronounced shape is in easy terms a bite of paper " back, a liberal weblog pronounced that, no sources listed, no data in any respect, yet liberals take it as certainty.

Answer 8

God spoke to George Bush? Why isn't He answering my emails?

Answer 9

I don't think it's weird at all. Have you ever tried to talk to God? And I know it may sound insane, but some things God chooses to do are outside the bounds of scientific explanation.

Answer 10

As much as I believe God told you to post this question! Not very much.
