In the same vein as JoBelle's fine thread with quotes from religious fantatics like Osama bin Laden and Pat Robertson, I present the words of George Herbert and George Walker Bush. Read their lips and guess who made the following statements, Daddy or Dubya. Careful, one quote's a ringer!
1. You cannot be president of the United States if you don't have faith. Remember Lincoln, going to his knees in times of trial and the Civil War and all that stuff. You can't be. And we are blessed. So don't feel sorry for - don't cry for me, Argentina.
2. I think I've got to do better in making clear what the message is, and I think I can do better. But I think there's so much noise out there that I've got to figure out how to make it clearer that we are for the things that I have advocated that would help.
3. The fundamental question is, 'Will I be a successful president when it comes to foreign policy?' I will be, but until I'm the president, it's going to be hard for me to verify that I think I'll be more effective.
4. They want the federal government controlling Social Security like it's some kind of federal program.
5. I don't know that Atheists should be considered as citizens, nor should they be considered patriots.
6. We need to execute people like John Walker in order to physically intimidate liberals, by making them realize that they can be killed too.
7. It isn't pollution that's harming the environment. It's the impurities in our air and water that are doing it.
8. It's important for us to explain to our nation that life is important. It's not only life of babies, but it's life of children living in, you know, the dark dungeons of the Internet.
9. We're all capable of mistakes, but I do not care to enlighten you on the mistakes we may or may not have made.
10. I'm the President. I'm Queen of the May.
The tally:
Daddy gets the credit for 1, 2, 5, and 10.
Dubya lays claim to 3, 4, 7, 8 and 9.
Number 6 is the ringer - a chilling message from Ann Coulter, the Right's bouncing blonde cheerleader, who strikes me as the kind of woman who could eat her own young.
How did you score?

Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the President or any other public official save exactly to the degree in which he himself stands by the country. It is patriotic to support him insofar as he efficiently serves the country. It is unpatriotic not to oppose him to the exact extent that by inefficiency or otherwise he fails in his duty to stand by the country. -Theodore Roosevelt
