Didn't Bush claim that God told him to invade Iraq?
Even if that was true (which it ain't)
According to those present, it is true. I can't post a link because I haven't made a enough posts yet on this forum and it won't let me, but if you Google Bush God and Iraq you'll find them.
tell me how your own rights to think differently was violated by the president's wishes?
The right to live for over 4,000 American soldiers was violated.
You might be correct that a president who bases his actions on the commands of God might be dangerous. That argument by itself might be pretty valid but when you combine it with everything else the left wants to do and the relentless attacks against people expressing religious views that are christian then you get a picture that its not about a religious nutcase in the whitehouse but about a christian being in the whitehouse.
What scares people is the leader of the free world attacking a sovereign nation based on the claim that it's God's will. How is it any different than radical Muslims waging Jihad on the western world claiming the same? I don't deny that the far left have a general fear of religion, but someone like Bush fuels that fire. Many atrocities have been committed in the Name of God and one should be leery about such crusades. I don't want politicians preaching to me about their idea of morality or using the law to enforce it. It's not their place to do so.
