94. My response
There's public office, and then there's the Presidency. A stint in the minors and then a couple years in the majors might be sufficient for a fats learner, but he keeps putting his foot in it, over and over. He needs more time in DC.

He is reaching out to a group of 'faithful' homophobes, and validating their homophobia by turning his back on the GBLT community. Nobody'd mind if he were reaching in both directions at once, but he's focusing on the haters. Just because a bigot goes to church does not decrease their bigotry.

And I am not a militant (or any sort of) atheist. It's a bad thing becasue he is exacerbating divisions instead of healing them, not because I or any other person hates religion.

If his convictions are indeed indicated by his constancy in fanning the flames of anti-gay hatred, then the same logic, Bush is man of integrity as well. If one's beliefs are abhorrent, consistency is not a good thing.
