I'm very suspicious of that one. It doesn't sound like SR at all. I would like to hear the context that was in.Turquoise wrote:

So, it turns out that the first Bush wasn't much better than his son after all....
Agreed... George #1 was generally a secular guy. I'm just going by what was posted on that link... I'll see if I can cross-reference it.Kmarion wrote:

No, see the link I posted:Turquoise wrote:

All the hits I get are from left wing/ atheist sites. I'm not saying he didn't say it. From time to time all politicians say some dumb stuff. His reply sounds kind of knee jerk. Most of those other quotes I can buy into since the statements are coming from whackos.Janysc wrote:

I wouldn't think any right wing sites are fond of putting up stuff on their site that will worsen their image.Kmarion wrote:

Jansyc, I have a feeling Bush actually said this quote, but it is true that the sources presented are questionable in their agendas. I'm saying this as an atheist myself.Janysc wrote:

I am an atheist too, I've never liked either Bush'es, and I despise the atheist-site's net design .Turquoise wrote:

I really doubt that Bush would have said something so damaging in public. This sounds like an excerpt that some aide would include in his polemic expose as "something I heard Bush say."Turquoise wrote:

No no you forget this is a forum of typically antiamerican threads where you can make any claim you want with out reference or citation.Kmarion wrote:

I know what you mean, and I wouldn't think a right wing site would have the quote either.Janysc wrote:

The sources ARE questionable indeed, but saying that "no right wing sites has the quote" is the same as saying "no right wing sites quotes Mao or Lenin". I hope you'll agree, for now I have to go to bed. Karma for all.
