George W. Bush as a Spiritual Leader

Paper Summary:

This paper argues that politics aside, George W. Bush is leading the United States in a very different way. Although the author of the paper believes that he is more than capable as a political leader, he also believes that Bush is a spiritual leader of the strongest nation in the world. The paper examines which segments of the population support Bush for his religious beliefs and how his actions could be interpreted to pit Christians against Muslims.

From the Paper:

"Clearly, the American public recognized the urgency for spiritual warfare. Whether voting Bush into office was a subtle nudge to America or not, it was certain that Bush was going to present an entirely different White House than his predecessor. Was it an outcry from the Republicans, desperate for moral integrity from political leaders? It certainly could have been. In fact, during his campaign against Gore, Bush was quoted as saying, "For eight years, the Clinton/Gore administration has coasted through prosperity. And the path of least resistance is always downhill. But America's way is the rising road (Frum, p. 7)." Indeed, we were headed toward a new America. Ironically, the new America is a just like the very first one-based on the foundation that, "In God we trust.""
