he is working towards a constitutional ammendment that removes basic civil rights, and as far as im concerned, he is doing it because of his religious beliefs.

I feel that Bush is one of the worst presidents when it comes to diplomatic relations. He is really a hot head if you ask me. While I'm happy Saddam isn't in contol of Iraq anylonger, Bush really had no right commiting this premptive agression, who next? Will he feel that Russia is a national security threat and try to attack them? Come on, this crap needs to change...
As far as not touching Saudi Arabia, I can understand that sentiment, but I highly doubt any other perspective president would have done any differently.

Dunk, you are mistaken about what a basic "civil" right is. The amendment is something that would be laughed at only a few decades ago, but now, due to a lack of moral direction, it seems necessary in order to clarify what should already be known.
The amendment is not to excude deviancy, but to protect marriage. Homosexuals have the same basic God-given rights as human beings, but no more protection of their "alternative lifestyle" than any other act or action that has been deemed immoral or inappropriate for centuries.
As far as someone not understanding the War on Terror as it goes in Iraq, that can only be because of denial of many years of evidence and the very words and actions of Hussein.
As far as not touching Saudi Arabia, I can understand that sentiment, but I highly doubt any other perspective president would have done any differently.

That is where we differ Thomas. What one persons "moreality" is can be quite different than anothers. If the purpose of the amendment is to "protect" marriage that is a joke. Over 50% end up in divorce. I would venture that rate is much lower among the "unconventional".
Morality has not really changed Thomas. Perhaps it is more out in the open.
