How come all the pilot Presidents we have had are super-religious?  From George Bush Sr. denouncing atheists, to Jr. saying that God told him to invade Iraq.  Not a good track record!  Screw the pilots, we need a scientist in office.

WHEN A MILITARY...OR ANY aircraft for that matter......is wrecked, there is only one single thing that matters.

that is that the pilot/crew get out un-injured.


Morally, absolutely.  Purely as a financial investment though, it is still true.

There are no atheists in foxholes or cockpits when the poo hits the fan.

oh yaa .. lets get a pres that's all into quoting chapter and verse on 'saving the planet'

LOL.

I'm thinkin the planet can shrug us off like fleas offa dog anytime 'it' wants to and hardly notice.

I would be willin to bet 'the planet' will be here a long .. long .. longlong time.
After we are all gone.
All.

God give me the wisdom to change what I can that needs changin, and leave the rest alone, Amen.

This has nothing to do with global warming.  I just don't want people in leadership positions that think God is talking directly to them telling them what to do.

Bush Sr. got shot down in the pacific during WWII.  He flew his crippled plane some distance after his crew bailed and were captured.  He was then picked up by a US sub.

How do you know that God DOESN'T talk to them?  I belive that God speaks with everyone that will listen.  So very amazed at you liberals that want us Christians to accept your views and live with it.  But at the same time, you bash us for our beliefs.  Why don't you take a step back and see how hypocritical that is!!!  Remember, that the while the President is one of many that defends our rights under the Constitution, he is also a citizen entitled to those same rights.

I'll take the president that uses his head, and considers' all the ramifications' of his decisions, thank you.
