Was George W. Bush CHOSEN by God for the presidency?

[bluestateguy]

Evidently many conservative (white) Christians seem to think that their president was chosen by God. Therefore, to oppose George W. Bush is to oppose God, and THAT is a sin, all therefore, all opponents of Bush must be evil. It also is a quasi-admission that the American people did not, in fact, choose this president. Rather, he was chosen by God. I suspect that many fundamentalists believed this all along, but 9/11 made their argument more plausible to many more Americans who were easily duped into the post 9/11 culture of fear. The Christian Right has always fantasized about a holy war, led by a "moral" leader like George W. Bush, which explains many conservatives' inability to take any criticism of their Anointed One.
