Bob Jones University

Remember Bob Jones University? Waay back in 2000 - after Bush had his ass handed to him by John McCain in NH, Bush had to run away from the center and headlong to the right. Why? Because the next test was South Carolina, and them people talk just like him, and he was gonna be damned if he didn't win South Carolina. One of his first visits post-NH was to Bob Jones University. If you're Catholic, you should despise BJU and all it stands for. If you're African-American, you should despise BJU and all it stands for. If you have any sense of decency, you should despise BJU and all it stands for. Bob Jones, Bush's buddy, just wrote him a letter.

President George W. Bush The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW Washington, DC 20500 Dear Mr. President: The media tells us that you have received the largest number of popular votes of any president in America's history. Congratulations! In your re-election, God has graciously granted America—though she doesn't deserve it—a reprieve from the agenda of paganism. You have been given a mandate. We the people expect your voice to be like the clear and certain sound of a trumpet. Because you seek the Lord daily, we who know the Lord will follow that kind of voice eagerly. Don't equivocate. Put your agenda on the front burner and let it boil. You owe the liberals nothing. They despise you because they despise your Christ. Honor the Lord, and He will honor you. Had your opponent won, I would have still given thanks, because the Bible says I must (I Thessalonians 5:18). It would have been hard, but because the Lord lifts up whom He will and pulls down whom He will, I would have done it. It is easy to rejoice today, because Christ has allowed you to be His servant in this nation for another presidential term. Undoubtedly, you will have opportunity to appoint many conservative judges and exercise forceful leadership with the Congress in passing legislation that is defined by biblical norm regarding the family, sexuality, sanctity of life, religious freedom, freedom of speech, and limited government. You have four years—a brief time only—to leave an imprint for righteousness upon this nation that brings with it the blessings of Almighty God. Christ said, “If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my father honour” (John 12:26). The student body, faculty, and staff at Bob Jones University commit ourselves to pray for you—that you would do right and honor the Savior. Pull out all the stops and make a difference. If you have weaklings around you who do not share your biblical values, shed yourself of them. Conservative Americans would love to see one president who doesn't care whether he is liked, but cares infinitely that he does right. Best wishes. Sincerely your friend, Bob Jones III President BJIII:lw PS: A few moments ago I read this letter to the students in Chapel. They applauded loudly their approval. When I told them that Tom Daschle was no longer the minority leader of the Senate, they cheered again. On occasion, Christians have not agreed with things you said during your first term. Nonetheless, we could not be more thankful that God has given you four more years to serve Him in the White House, never taking off your Christian faith and laying it aside as a man takes off a jacket, but living, speaking, and making decisions as one who knows the Bible to be eternally true.

These guys are losing. They are not rising. For proof, look to the fact that Santorum, Brownback and the like were hidden away during the GOP convention, while McCain, Schwarzenegger, and Giuliani were keynotes.
