"I believe that it points up the fact that
we need common sense judges who understand
that our rights were derived from God. Those
are the kind of judges I intend to put on the
bench." - GWBush, June 27, 2002, explaining
his theocratic litmus test for federal judicial
nominees.

"I always laugh when people say that George
W. Bush is saying this or that to appease the
religious right. He is the religious
right." -- GWBush first cousin John Ellis

"I don't bring God into my life to — to, you
know, kind of be a political person." — GWBush,
interview with Tom Brokaw aboard Air Force One,
April 24, 2003

"I believe that God wants me to be
president." — Richard Land, a Director
of the conservative evangelical Southern
Baptist Convention, quoting GWBush on
"the day (GWBush) was inaugurated for his
second term as governor (of TX) in 1999."

"I could not be governor (of Texas) if I
did not believe in a divine plan that supersedes
all human plans." - GWBush

"I, George W. Bush, Governor of Texas, do
hereby proclaim June 10, 2000, Jesus Day in
Texas and urge ... all Texans to answer the
call to serve those in need. By volunteering
their time, energy or resources to helping others,
adults and youngsters follow Christ's message
of love and service in thought and deed."
— GWBush, as Governor of TX, officially
proclaiming June 10, 2000, as
"JESUS DAY in TEXAS."

"Government cannot make ppl love one
another ... (; instead,) love comes from a
higher calling, a higher authority; the great
strength of America lies in the hearts and
souls of citizens who've heard that call, not
in the halls of government."
— GWBush, campaigning for president in the
2000 election explaining his "faith-based initiatives"
vs. government run programs w/o regard for the
Separation of Church and State.
