The best way to loose a friend is to talk about politics.
Seriously though, some of Bush's comments were seemingly contradictory. He declared that, "the United States has no right, no desire, and no intention to impose our form of government on anyone else."
Yet...he stated earlier that, "marriage is a sacred institution and the foundation of society, it should not be re-defined by activist judges. For the good of families, children, and society, I support a constitutional amendment to protect the institution of marriage."
And perhaps in his closing statement was a very ominous comment, "the road of Providence is uneven and unpredictable -- yet we know where it leads: It leads to freedom."
It is very difficult to convince groups that believe you hate their religion when you put your religion into major speeches, isn't it?
