Since Bush has been meeting this past week with the G-8, I thought this would be a good time to highlight a similar meeting in Calgary Kananaskis, Canada, June 27, 2002. Bush shared his deepest convictions about God and our government with Vladimir Putin. This gem was sent to me by Eric E. Peoples.
Bush to Putin:
Yesterday a court in America made a ruling that I want to comment on. America is a nation that is -- a nation that values our relationship with an Almighty. Declaration of God in the Pledge of Allegiance doesn't violate rights. As a matter of fact, it's a confirmation of the fact that we received our rights from God, as proclaimed in our Declaration of Independence.
I -- I believe that it points up the fact that we need common-sense judges who understand that our rights were derived from God. And those are the kind of judges I intend to put on the bench.
