The day after Martin Luther King Day, Jan. 17, the NY Times ran an article by Elisabeth Bumiller titled, “Bush Cites Religion as a Pillar for Dr. King…”

Truly, after reading the article, if I had known nothing about George Bush, I would be proud to have him speak on my behalf. Because I know that he probably didn’t write the speech, I don’t give him entire credit, but I am impressed with the words that came out of his mouth, especially in this time that I am so upset by his diatribes about ‘freedom’ gleaned from the philosophies of Israeli nationalist Natan Sharansky.

Bush said of Dr. King at the JFK Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, “He believed and he knew that the image of God we share is a source of our dignity as human beings and the basis for our equality. He believed and he knew that the teachings of Jesus stand in eternal judgment of oppression. He believed and he knew that the God who made us for freedom will bring us to freedom.”
