Another Fringe Right group would like Bush to become "President-for-Life"
First it was the Family Security Matters group, now it's the Center for Moral Clarity.

"Anti-gay groups cheered when President Bush (apparently) promised to veto hate-crimes protections for gays and lesbians, but the Center for Moral Clarity – the political arm of “Patriot Pastor” Rod Parsley – warns activists not to rest, because “unfortunately,” Bush won’t hold the office “forever.”

Restating the false claim that the hate-crimes bill – which targets violent crimes – would somehow impede religious expression, the Center urges its supporters to continue pressuring Congress, and to oppose presidential candidates who lack a “biblical worldview.”

"Unfortunately, George W. won't be president forever. The next person occupying the Oval Office might be willing - maybe even eager - to criminalize our thoughts.

Christians who want to continue speaking the Gospel's truth without fear of arrest and prosecution should not be content to let the probability of a presidential veto become the resolution. Christians need to understand that a person's worldview influences his or her views on public policy and law making; they can't be divorced. A president without a biblical worldview will feel no compulsion to protect evangelism.""

2. But a president with a biblical worldview
would dismantle our constitution and kill hundreds of thousands (perhaps more) innocent civilians. So parsley is saying that thoughts they "believe" which originate from the bible make christians criminals, they just don't want that codified?? Very interesting indeed.
