President Jefferson was indeed a good heathen. Leave it to Bush to pick-and-choose quote him as other fundamentalist Christians have done. (Fundies have not only pick-and-choose quoted Mr Jefferson but also Benjamin Franklin, Abraham Lincoln, and others). Do you fellow Atheists think Mr Jefferson could be elected today?

I think his ownership of slaves would come up at some point on the campaing trail.

I doubt think BushCo’s moronic followers can rightly be called slaves according to the usual definition … but … then again.

I doubt think BushCo’s moronic?

When making posts like this, perhaps one should think twice before referring to others as ?morons.?

OK, so What is 1 for 2. He screwed up the word ‘don’t’ with doubt, but he did get the part right that BushCo followers are morons.

BushLite is as the blog stated a puppet reading preprepared speeches… badly. Although Im sure his writers did in fact remove the “offending” section from the quote I still would not put it past BushLite to have simply muffed the line. Thanks to all for keeping the words of the Atheist on line.

Has anyone read Liars for Jesus? My local boy Texas David Barton is getting more press and he’s the master of revisionism concerning xianity in our heritage.

Bush is a poor puppet, Maybe next time we can vote in Kermit a much better puppet and more loved. Remember the famous bush quote : Fool me once shame on me Fool me Twice ummmm I won’t be fooled again ” !!!!! Classic Bush right there !!!!!

If you think President Bush edited Jefferson to have him promote a position he never would have while living, then you should see the hash they made of his words on the inscriptions inside the Jefferson Memorial! The memorial, which was completed in 1943, picks and chooses snippets from a variety of Jefferson letters and documents, then strings them together in a way that has him endorsing God as the inspiration for everything American. It’s a travesty!
